Of course she appeared very fearful of people upon arrival at the Bark Bank but with much time and dedication, she learned to trust again. All she wanted was a gentle hand to not harm her but to pet her and show her love.

This sweet boy loved nothing more than a good dog treat. People were often deterred by his age before they even got to know his spectacular personality, but we knew one day someone would see that it just meant he was a seasoned pro at life. There was nothing the other Little Heroes could do that he couldn’t. He loved to play with his group of 5, enjoyed every meal, and drooled at the thought of head pats. Kanaloa was a lover, and we would settle for nothing less than someone that would shower him with the enormous amount of love he deserved. Kanaloa lives a few towns away and has a beautiful life where he can enjoy his days relaxing and munching on the best food.

Kekoa has always been the definition of a gentleman, the perfect pup for anybody. He was polite, knew basic commands, great on a leash and sweet to everything and anything he met. Kekoa had many of our hearts in his paws, we knew just how special he was and how rare it is to find a pup so well behaved. Regardless of his long pro list, his adoption inquiry list was practically non existent. Until one day we received an inquiry about a sweet Little Hero, however it was not Kekoa. Our goal is to make sure that every Little Hero is matched with the perfect environment that they will strive in and will never set them up for failure, that is why we are completely transparent about our pups behavioral expectations. We knew that Kekoa was the dog that this particular adopter was actually looking for. They fell in love simply through photos and videos and got to know him in this way. Now he has touched so many hearts all the way in Washington state where he has been labeled as the perfect pup and an amazing addition to their furry family!

He was a people pleaser, extremely smart, and even more affectionate. He was lucky enough to find his meant to be family in Houston, Texas, one with all the Samoyed experience they’d need.

Cap’n Crunch came to us very unsure about where he just came from, where his family went, and who he could trust. Of course, this is all such a big change for the Little Heroes, going from having a home, then being abandoned, then striaght to strangers trying to comfort and reassure them that they are in good hand. He was really trying to be loving to everyone, but you could see that he was not adjusting to the environment as well as our other Little Heroes do. Due to this, we put Cap’n Crunch straight into adoption eligibility so that he could find a new home, one that he would never have to lose again. A dedicated employee of Pura Sanguine seen that Cap’n Crunch was in need of guidance and a place to decompress, so that he could show everyone that he really could be a good boy and just needed a second chance.
