About Bella
Bella is a beautiful, loyal, and spirited dog with a heart full of love and a personality that will brighten your life. She’s about 4 years old and has had two loving homes in her lifetime. Due to unfortunate life circumstances, we are now looking for the perfect forever family who can give Bella the time, attention, and affection she truly deserves.

Bella is full of life and joy—she lives to play tug-of-war, go on long walks, or join you for a run if you're up for it. She's also an expert cuddler, and once she’s bonded with you, she’ll be your most loyal and affectionate shadow. Bella is smart, eager to please, and knows several fun tricks including turn, lay down, paw, and shake. She also enjoys puzzle toys and anything that gives her a chance to use her brain and get rewarded!

Bella thrives on connection and structure. While she can be reactive to other dogs on leash, she has successfully played with canine companions who match her energy and play style. With slow introductions and the right partner, she can be a great playmate. She takes a few minutes to warm up to new people but does best when someone gets down on her level and lets her come to them on her terms. Once she feels safe, she’s affectionate, sweet, and incredibly loyal.

She’s been a beloved member of our family, but we know she deserves a home where she can be the center of someone’s world, with consistency and patience to continue her progress. She’s never been destructive in the home and is a great listener when there are few distractions. She just needs someone with a steady, loving hand who can match her passionate and playful spirit.

Bella would thrive with an experienced dog owner who understands dog reactivity and is committed to giving her the enrichment, structure, and love she needs. She has so much to give—and once she gives you her heart, she’ll be your most devoted friend.

If you think Bella might be the perfect match for you, please reach out. She’s ready to find her next adventure—and her forever home.

Who is this stunning lady, you ask? It's adoptable puppers, Lily!
🐾
If you also think age is just a number, let us tell you about the best girl in town.
Lily is a 7 year old, 75 # pitbull mix. While on paper, that may make her a senior, spend a little time with Lily, and you'll agree she is NOT a senior.
🐾
Lily is potty trained, doesn't need to be crated, and walks like she's been doing it her whole life. Training is her favorite. She loves learning new things, especially when you have the *good* treats out. Canine fitness, agility, scent work, hiking.. you name it, she's done it and would do it again.
🐾
After raising multiple litters, Lily is done having babies (she's spayed) and doesn't want to live with any young rambunctious dogs. She would probably love having a respectful dog friend, or a tiny dog and would definitely love having some human children to love. Snuggles mixed with adventures is the key to Lily's heart. And snacks, she looooooooves snacks.
🐾
Come fly in the face of aging with Lily, she's like Paul Rudd but a dog. Who knows, maybe she found the fountain of youth? Adopt Lily and ask her yourself: https://www.caninecupids.org/adopt

Adoption Bio: Tiny Fluff, Big Attitude
🐾
Meet Wendy – 8 pounds of fur, sass, and pure chaotic energy.
🐾
At first glance, she’s a fluffy little dream, but don’t let that teddy bear face fool you. Wendy is a spicy little terrorist in a tiny chihuahua body. She's got opinions, a diva complex, and absolutely no problem expressing either. Loudly.
🐾
She is potty trained and walks great on a leash... until she decides she won’t. Occasionally listens to her intrusive thoughts (and by "occasionally," we mean often), which may include barking at your neighbor’s shadow, silently plotting against you while you are still in the room or trying to fight a squirrel twice her size.
🐾
Wendy thrives with structure, routine, and someone who can lovingly remind her that she is not in charge of the household (despite what she believes). She needs clear rules, firm boundaries, and zero tolerance for her nonsense – or she’ll take over like a furry little dictator.
🐾
She prefers a home with no other dogs, no kids, and no one who thinks they're adopting a sweet lap dog. She’s more of a tiny, opinionated roommate with a fluffy coat and no filter.
🐾
Wendy’s favorite past times include demanding treats and disemboweling toys.
🐾
If you’re experienced with spicy dogs and ready to share your home with a bossy gremlin who occasionally cuddles like nothing ever happened – Wendy might just be your girl.

UPDATE: Rehomed!

Meet Cinnamon! Also known as Cinny or Cinnamon Roll. A world class snuggler. He is a huge softie that loves to follow you around and keep you company. One of his favorite things to do is lay at your feet while you wash dishes. Be warned, Cinny only has two modes: go, go, go, and snuggle, snuggle, snuggle. He loves to play tug, fetch, and chase each other around the yard.

Cinnamon has been living with young children and another dog similar in size to him, and he’s done very well. He would do best with someone who works from home or has a lot of time to spend with him, he gets lonely being by himself all day! He does not do well with cats or small dogs, but he has so much love to give to the right person or family.

Check out this handsome dude, Milo! Milo is a Courtesy Cupid and STILL available for adoption. What are Courtesy Cupids, you ask? Courtesy Cupids are dogs needing to be rehomed for various reasons but, in the meantime, are able to stay with their current families or guardians. Milo would be a great addition to most any family without cats or small dogs.

https://www.caninecupids.org/courtesycupids

This heartfelt bio is from Milo's current family.
We hoped to give Milo a good home almost 6 months ago. We heard his mom had him in his kennel often as she had smaller kids (he was rapidly growing), and she went back to college. The “Grandpa” then took him so Milo’s history before our family is vague. We immediately had him neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
Milo is good with our female dog, has been around children, adult friends and other dogs and is fine most of the time. He is protective of the family and our other dog by sharing his big dog bark. Milo is not cat friendly AT ALL which is the reason we need to rehome him. Our 5-year-old cat hides out in the basement as a means of self-preservation. Apart from a fascination with flashing lights and his reflection, Milo is a bg baby, enjoys snuggling and is submissive to his fur-sister. He feels soft toys are meant to be destroyed, so beware 😊. Milo will pull on leash and we have been working on that. His previous owner didn’t leash him but seems to have a decent recall. He has come back and will lay down to be put back on his lead.
We think Milo would thrive in a home with a person or family that has more training experience and can give him more one on one time, no cats and possibly no small dogs.
Please contact Canine Cupids if Milo sounds like a good fit for you and/or your family.

Co-pilot Vinnie is here to help get you to the dog treats store! Have you ever been?! It's a wonderful place full of every treat you can imagine! He's happy to show you all his favorites.
🐾
If you adopt Vinnie, you can buckle up for the best couch cuddles, the cutest snores (he's told it's only cute when dogs snore) and all the adventures! Please pack treats, he loves treats!
Vinnie is a 6 year old, 77 pound pitty mix. He's potty trained, knows how to sit, down and crawl! Have you seen a large dog crawl? It's adorable! He's working on walking politely but is a quick study and loves to learn!
🐾
Vinnie would do best as an only dog, no cats either please. He'd do best in a home with kids ages 12+, he may know how old he is but he sure doesn't know how big he is.
🐾
While he may prefer the only dog lifestyle, you'll be forever entertained by Vinny and his antics. What are you waiting for? Your greatest treat store adventure awaits! Adopt Vinnie, you'll see what we mean: https://www.caninecupids.org/adopt

"Act your age! Don't you know you're a senior?!" or "You can't teach an old dog new tricks." Lily wholeheartedly disagrees with both sentences. If you also think age is just a number, let us tell you about the best girl in town.

S'mores are one of the best campfire snacks. The gooey marshmallow, melty chocolate, and crunchy graham crackers are the perfect trifecta in a dessert. But without the graham crackers it is amess. We can agree the graham crackers are vital to a good s'more.
🐾
And that is true of our Graham cracker too! Graham is an excellent addition to any home and without him you are missing out!
🐾
Graham found his way to Canine Cupids after three months at MADACC. Even after that time he has kept his happy, loving personality.
🐾
Graham loves toys more than anything! He will carry a ball with him 24/7 if he could. Squeaky toys work too! He loves running around and playing keep away. But no stuffies are safe from Graham. He fancies himself a stuffie destroyer and promptly removes all the stuffing.
🐾
Graham loves all humans and soaking up the cuddles. We do, however, recommend any children be 10 years of age or older because he thinks he is a lap dog: he will crawl right on top of your lap, sit down and stay there until he's gotten his fill. He hasn't found a human he doesn't like.
🐾
This handsome boy is also good with other dogs. Graham has enjoyed strolls with other dogs and done amazing.
🐾
He also has the softest fur of any dog!
Graham enjoys sleeping all night long in his crate and is potty trained. He is currently learning that counter surfing isn't cool.
His foster mom calls him a "distinguished gentleman."
🐾
Don't miss out on this good boy any longer, apply to meet Graham today: https://www.caninecupids.org/adopt

Like the spirit, Bourbon is smooth, full of personality, and impossible not to love. Bourbon has a way of making any day feel a little warmer. He’s a good mix of laid-back and lively - never too much, but definitely not boring. He matches the energy of his people. Want to be active? He’s right there with you. Want to relax? He’s happy to join you.
🐾
Even though he’s an adult (3 years old, 54ish pounds), it’s like Bourbon is finally getting to be the dog he was always meant to be. His past wasn’t the easiest, but you’d never guess it. He’s all about snuggles, soft paw taps for attention, and following his people around like he’s their biggest fan. His ability to trust is something special, and watching him blossom is a real joy. He loves adults and has been very gentle with the children he’s met.
🐾
Bourbon is a sweetheart. He’ll curl up with you on the couch, happily accept belly rubs (he even asks for them), and hang out while you go about your day. He does like his own space to sleep most nights – his beauty sleep is important, after all. And when he’s excited? B’s tippy-taps are the best and his zoomies are spectacular.
He’s still learning the ropes when it comes to training, but he’s getting there. When something clicks for him, it’s a moment worth celebrating! He knows sit, down, wait, walks well on leash around the neighborhood, and is crate and potty trained. He even knows to not go into the kitchen! One thing he’s working hard on is refocusing when another dog is around, but he’s making progress (he’s easier to refocus outside than inside). He’s met a few dogs and prefers calmer dogs over ones that pull towards or barks at him.
🐾
He’s easygoing when it comes to his favorite things. He’ll let you take a squeaky ball right out of his mouth, sit patiently while you set his food down, and hand over a bully stick or pig ear when snack time is over.
🐾
If you're looking for a loyal buddy with soulful eyes, a silly streak, and a heart full of love, Bourbon might be the one. He’s the kind of dog who’ll make your life feel a little more complete. Apply to adopt Bourbon today: https://www.caninecupids.org/adopt

Oh hey hi! They call me Peanut, and I am here to be your best friend, your bestest best friend! I'm told I should play it cool and not be so excited to see you, BUT I'M JUST SO HAPPY TO BE HERE AND SEE YOU!!
🐾
And that is all you need to know about Peanut! Ha! If you're into being with the life of the party, this is your guy! He doesn't know what a stranger is, loves dogs (sometimes too much, but he's working on it), and was neutral with the cat he met. Because of his zest for life, we would like him to go to a home with kids over 10.
🐾
This giant goofball has loved training. He's so smart and wants to learn everything! While in foster, he has taken life skills classes, agility training, obedience training, and fitness classes! He would love a family who loves learning and prioritizes education. He'd be an excellent hiking companion or perhaps a running buddy. A 5k would be a walk in the park for this athletic dude! When you are home, get ready for some cuddles! He is the best blanket on the market.
Peanut is a 1.5 year old 52lb bundle of fun! He is neutered, up to date on vaccines, and ready to move in and do all of the things! He is trustworthy free roaming when you're not home.
🐾
Adopt Peanut and get ready to have all the fun: https://www.caninecupids.org/adopt
