Meet Galette, Macaroon, Brioche, and Beignet—four irresistible 8-week-old puppies whose story had a much happier ending than it could have. Their journey began when our rescue was called about a puppy who had been abandoned in a crate and left in poor condition. After that puppy was safely in our care, we received another call about three more puppies nearby that needed a place to go. When we arrived, it quickly became clear these little ones were siblings, even though that wasn’t initially shared with us. We couldn’t leave anyone behind. Now all four puppies are safe, healthy, and finally getting to experience what every puppy deserves: full bellies, soft beds, toys, and lots of love. Like any 8-week-old pups, they’re playful, curious, and learning about the world one day at a time. They love to wrestle with each other, explore everything in sight, and then pile together for a well-earned nap. Every day their personalities shine a little brighter, and they’re ready to find families who will help them continue to grow into happy, confident dogs. Roonie is by far the most mischevious and outgoing of the pack. She can scale any puppy pen faster than you can say...ROONIE!
