👋🐾 Hi there, Pretzel here!

Can you believe I’m the last adoptable puppy left from the Philly Food Litter? 🥨 At just 8.5 months old and just under 40 lbs, I’m a petite pit bull pup who’s ready to wiggle my way into someone’s heart. 💕

Here’s the scoop about me:
✨ Crate trained & housebroken
✨ Dog-friendly & people-loving
✨ Laid back but still playful — I love toys, other dogs, and nice walks!

I’ve got the perfect mix of chill and fun, and all I need now is my forever family. 🏡

🌊🐾 The best cure for the Monday blues? A day at the beach!

Adoptable Regan, our goofy Great Dane, got to experience the beach for the very first time — and she absolutely loved it! 🏖️ This sweet girl is the full package: always down for an adventure, whether it’s a beach trip, brewery outing, or a long walk. But she’s just as happy enjoying the simple things — lounging on a comfy dog bed and chewing a bone.

At 1.5 years old, Regan is crate trained, housebroken, and loves all people (kids included!). She’s lucky to be enjoying a vacation with her foster family right now, but what she really dreams of is a forever family of her own. 💕

If you’re looking for a fun-loving adventure buddy who also knows how to chill, Regan’s your girl.
