It was an extra sweet Wednesday Friendsday on We Are Austin as Fruity Pebbles, an adorable rescue puppy from Happy Hearts Dog Rescue<\/a>, stole the spotlight, and a few hearts.<\/p>\n

Helping introduce the tiny pup was special guest co-host Ruby, whose gentle touch quickly helped Fruity Pebbles settle into his very first television appearance.<\/p>\n

A Tiny Pup With a Big Personality<\/p>\n

Fruity Pebbles is about 2 1\/2 months old and weighs just under five pounds. He and his three brothers, Kix, Trix and Chex, were rescued from South Texas and are now searching for loving forever homes.<\/p>\n

Audrey from Happy Hearts Dog Rescue<\/a> says the litter is full of personality.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think he’s probably a Chihuahua mix,\u201d she said. \u201cAlthough I’ve been joking he’s got a little kangaroo in him because he bounces all over the place.\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite being a little nervous under the studio lights, Fruity Pebbles quickly relaxed with Ruby by his side.<\/p>\n

Already Learning the Basics<\/p>\n

Fruity Pebbles is currently living in a foster home with two larger dogs and is already making great progress.<\/p>\n

His foster family says he’s doing well with:<\/p>\n

Because he isn’t fully vaccinated yet, he joins neighborhood walks from the comfort of a dog stroller while continuing to experience the world safely.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe loves his big dog foster siblings,\u201d Audrey said.<\/p>\n

The Power of Foster Homes<\/p>\n

Unlike traditional shelters, Happy Hearts Dog Rescue is entirely foster-based, meaning every rescued dog lives in a volunteer’s home while waiting for adoption.<\/p>\n

\u201cTemp fostering is always a big help,\u201d Audrey said.<\/p>\n

The rescue provides foster families with food, supplies and veterinary care, allowing volunteers to focus on giving the dogs a safe, loving place to grow.<\/p>\n

Many of the organization’s dogs come from high-intake shelters across Texas.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of these dogs are euthanasia-listed dogs,\u201d Audrey said. \u201cJust loving them, giving them a safe and happy home… you’re saving a life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Interested in Adopting?<\/p>\n

Fruity Pebbles and all three of his cereal-inspired brothers are currently available for adoption.<\/p>\n
