Tweety didn't get to go to the parade with us yesterday, so she joined us at the The O'Hara Commons & Sustainability Center market and she is such a 💓SNUGGLE BUG 💓!!

She was a little bit nervous about the live music, so she spent the 2 hours tucked away on a lap! That didn't stop her from giving kisses and nuzzling everyone who wanted to meet her.

🐾Tweety is 4 month old mixed breed puppy who is well socialized, and greets with a full body wiggle and kisses. The 3 that we have left in this litter are all different colors, but all such nice little dogs.
🐾 These puppies go potty as soon as they get outside!
💓Thanks to our amazing volunteers, all 3 of these puppies have become excellent on the leash.
😘We have said it before and will say it again....this was the most gentle bunch of puppies we have had snuggling with small children at Donuts and Dogs. They are playful, but they have very calm demeanors and are eager to please. They would make your family SO happy!

UPDATE: She was picked up!
This adorable little girl was found running around near the highway off of Water St and Woodside Cutoff in Corvallis. If you are missing you're bundle of energy give us a call at 406-363-5311 or stop by the shelter at 262 Fairgrounds Rd

We had a great time at the this morning. We hope you saw how wonderful our and are! Thank you to our (Board members, staff, and volunteers) for taking time out of your day to share these dogs with our amazing community!
If you are wondering why we are wearing costumes, we are reminding everyone that we are now selling tickets to the 🎃
🙃We are just down the street from the fair, so stop in and meet these wonderful souls!😘
‼ A little about the dogs you saw today: ‼
😘Chance is a 5 year old male Flat Coated Retriever who LOVES absolutely everyone (black long hair). He's a stage 5 leaner, and will flop over for belly rubs if you so much as look at him!
🐾Tomo (red dog) is a 4 year old medium mixed breed male who stole the show with his acrobatics today!
😘Freya is a 5 year old Female Black Lab who is such a snuggle bug. She loves all people, and is very snuggly with babies and toddlers. Freya has had some training and is so good at sit and stay. She only wants to please her people. What a sweetheart!
🐾Sylvester and Petunia (red and black pointy eared pups) are 4 months old and love people. There are 3 left in their litter and they were absolutely the most gentle puppies we have had out for donuts and dogs. They LOVE children!
😘Last but not least, it's pretty hard to believe, but the puppy in the piggy costume is Seara, and she is STILL AVAILABLE. She full body wiggles for any attention, and she was the calmest and easiest puppy ever during the entirety of today's events. She is the last in her litter, and that is sad when you are all alone! She will not be too large since her mamma was a low rider.
‼ We have quite a few more wonderful animals at the shelter just waiting on their perfect
We are right down, the road, so add a visit to BRHA into your fair week plans 😃😁🥰
