Happy ! Meet Pepper, a adoption success story 🐾

This sweet pup joined her family in May and has quickly mastered the art of chasing bunnies and begging for treats. Her toy preferences are just as adorable—Pepper’s favorites are her Oreo and chocolate chip cookie toys. We’d say she’s got excellent taste 🍪

Meet Guava! 🍈

This Boston-born cavapoo stopped by our patio last week and quickly became the star of the show. Her hobbies include spreading joy, being the center of attention, and enjoying string cheese and scrambled eggs. If Guava were human, she'd be equal parts supermodel and therapist.

She and Chip became fast friends over a shared plate of scrambled eggs, and rumor has it he briefly considered quitting Dove's to become her full-time dog walker.
