Editor’s note: Puppy Palooza is a two-week event. Featured pets may be adopted quickly, but there are always others ready for their forever home.
At the Humane Society of North Texas, adoption is about changing lives, one match at a time. Learn more about adoptions at HSNT’s Fort Worth and Keller locations, or at off-site adoption events held six days a week at HSNT.org.
This week, the Humane Society of North Texas is spotlighting some of its smallest adoptable pets during a special event to help puppies and little dogs find homes quickly. The Pint-Sized Puppy Palooza will take place over the course of the week at two Petco locations where more than 75 small fluffs and pups will be available for adoption.
To support this effort, the Humane Society of North Texas Saxe-Forte Adoption Center will be closed while teams of staff working off-site will help connect pets with adopters in the community and families to find the right pet for them.
Among the pups ready to charm visitors are four standout puppies, each with a personality all its own.
Benji, a 2-month-old terrier mix, wasted no time stepping into the spotlight. Confident and camera-ready, he sat patiently and posed with ease, showing off a movie star calm that makes him hard to forget.
Gert, also a 2-month-old terrier mix, prefers a cozier approach. She loves being close to people and happily settles into any available lap, soaking up attention and affection wherever she goes.
Nick, a 2-month-old Catahoula Leopard mix, brings a gentle presence to the group. Sweet-natured and easygoing, he is the kind of puppy who seems content simply being near his people.
Razzle rounds out the group with plenty of spark. This 2-month-old Terrier mix is energetic, always ready to explore and show off his playful side.
