Pumba

Pumba is an 8yr old Shepard-Poodle mix. His name was given to him because of his similar appearance to Pumba from The Lion King; he has an incredible underbite and had long hair on his back with short hair on the sides! Also, like puma from the Lion King, our Pumba has a ton of energy to offer. He loves to play and go for walks and occasional jogs. A difference with our Pumba is that he is a perfect 25lbs and rarely ever talks/ bark.

Samantha

Samantha is a beautiful, friendly little lady! She is GREAT with dogs and cats! She tries to play with them, but is respectful when they tell her to "back off." Samantha is estimated to be about 8 years old, but she LOVES to play with her toys and chase after them. She appears to be mostly housebroken - she lets her foster mom know when it's time - but she arrived to our rescue with a urinary tract infection (cleared up now with antibiotics!), so we assume the few tiny accidents she had inside the house was due to that.
