The Marshmallow Puppies

Cupid and Domino

Bruiser and Sheila

Update: Cupid, Domino, and Sheila were adopted on February 18th!

With personalities so sugary-sweet and soft, we just had to nickname these darling babies "The Marshmallow Puppies".

Their story is a triumph on many levels.  We rescued them shortly before Christmas from one of the filthiest, dirtiest crates we have ever seen.  They were stuffed inside with both their mom and dad.   It was clear all 6 had been existing in the crate for weeks.  

(Note: Their father, Sherman, a Poodle mix, was featured on this site previously and you can read his profile by doing a search at top left).

Their mom, Lilly (a small Spaniel mix), and the puppies lived in a cozy section of a Nevada SPCA staff office for extra attention and monitoring.  Their dad was neutered and adopted in early January.

When Lilly reached 9 weeks she was separated from her puppies and spayed.  The wonderful couple who adopted Sherman, and who volunteer regularly at Nevada SPCA, adopted Lilly too, and both are doing extremely well.

Now the babies have been spayed/neutered, they are 3 months of age and they are ready for adoption too.

Brothers Cupid and Domino most resemble their mom.  Bruiser, who had been the "runt" of the litter but is flourishing now, and sister Sheila most resemble their dad.

They can be adopted separately, but the puppies are so great together we give preference to adopting them in pairs for lifelong companionship.
