🐾 It’s … so obviously we’re using this as an excuse to introduce you to 4️⃣ VERY adoptable faces. 😍

Meet Skip, Rocket, Captain + Liberty! 🐶❤️ You may recognize these adorable faces if you stopped by Mission Bay Puppy Rescue at Family Safety Day, and now they’re looking for their FURever homes! 🏡🐾

These adorable cattle dog mixes were born in early May and are playful, curious, sweet and available for adoption NOW! They’re expected to grow to approximately 25–50 lbs the perfect size for a new family bestie. 🥹

Mission Bay Puppy Rescue has helped place hundreds of puppies with loving families, and every adoption, and every donation, big or small, helps them say YES to the next puppy or mama who needs them.

❤️ Ready to add a new FURever family member? Consider adopting!
🐾 Can’t adopt? Even a small donation helps Mission Bay Puppy Rescue continue their incredible work.

And if neither is possible, SHARE this post! Their FURever hooman might be following you. 🐶💕
