About Selkie

Meet Selkie! This adorable girl is part of our Scottish Folklore Litter. Just a baby at 1 month old, she and her mom, Nessi, were rescued from an online giveaway, giving them a shot at a brighter future. Selkie embodies the spirit of a happy puppy, full of curiosity and energy as she begins to explore the world. Playful and eager for attention, she loves to romp around with her littermates and is ready to invite some fun into your home. Selkie is looking for a family who can embrace the joy and occasional mischief that come with raising a puppy. Foster-to-Adopt applications are open through November 16. Selkie will arrive in Pottstown, PA, on November 22, and families who have been approved for Foster-to-Adopt will need to pick her up that day. If she doesn’t have a lined-up family, Selkie will still be available for adoption on or after December 6, 2026. Ready to welcome this little beauty into your family?
