When this little pup was first found, he was shivering uncontrollably, unable to escape the cold that gripped his tiny body.
We couldn’t help but worry, thinking, “Will he make it?”
His frail frame and constant shivers pulled at our hearts. But we knew he just needed a warm, safe place and a lot of tender care.
And so, we brought him home, ready to give him the chance he deserved.
Little by Little, Friendships Begin
It took about a week, but slowly, he began to come out of his shell. He started staying awake a little longer each day, his small body finally settling down and the shakes fading away.
And then, something amazing happened. One morning, he surprised us all—bouncing around with a joy we’d never seen. It was like watching a tiny rabbit hopping in delight, happy to be alive and loved.
At first, he was cautious. Riley, one of our older dogs, seemed a bit puzzled by this little guy’s unusual hopping routine.
But the two of them grew close, forming a friendship that only a rescue pup and an old soul could share.
Toward the end of their time together, Riley became his gentle guardian, showing him the ropes and offering him the companionship he’d missed out on for so long.
This pup, whom we affectionately named Pumpkin, had a special talent—he could coax even the most reserved animals out of their shells.
One by one, he encouraged our cats to play, even the shy ones who usually kept to themselves.
With his bouncy steps and happy heart, Pumpkin brought them all together, making our home feel even warmer and fuller.

Pumpkin now lives in the most beautiful, caring home imaginable. Seeing him now—healthy, happy, and vibrant—it’s hard to believe he was once that shaky little pup struggling to survive.
