Meet Fumbelina Fumbelina is a tiny girl with a very big second chance. She came to us with her brothers, Bark Mahomes and Ruff Gronkowski, after the puppies found themselves in a Georgia shelter where they were at risk because of overcrowding and a lack of space. They were just innocent puppies who deserved the opportunity to grow up and find loving families. Thankfully, Fumbelina's story didn't end there. Now this adorable girl is ready to begin the next chapter of her life. She is playful, curious, and full of puppy charm. There is so much ahead for her, and we hope she gets to experience it all with a family who will love her through every stage of growing up. Fumbelina deserves a home where she can feel safe, learn new things, discover her favorite toys, enjoy plenty of cuddles, and grow into the wonderful companion she is meant to be. She may have fumbled her way into the shelter system, but she certainly didn't fumble her second chance. Now all Fumbelina needs is her forever family. Please consider opening your heart and home to this precious little girl. Please remember that adoption bios are only a snapshot of each animal. They are meant to give you a glimpse into their personality and story, but there is so much more to learn. Please reach out to our Adoption Team for additional information about Fumbelina and to learn if she may be the right fit for your home. All dogs will be altered, microchipped, and receive age-appropriate vaccines prior to adoption. Interested in fostering or adopting? Need more info on this dog?

🧠 Temperament
They were just innocent puppies who deserved the opportunity to grow up and find loving families. Mixed-breed dogs pull traits from several lines, which often means fewer breed-linked health problems and a temperament best judged by meeting the dog.
🎾 Exercise
Depends on the individual. A daily walk plus play is the baseline; ask the foster how the dog behaves after a quiet day.
✂️ Grooming
Varies with coat type. Short coats need little; longer or double coats need regular brushing.
