These cosmic cuties have traveled across the galaxy (okay, maybe just the living room) to find their forever homes right here on Planet Earth! Jupiter and Mars are the last two stars from our Planetary Puppy litter - 15 week old Miniature Schnauzer x Poodle mixes who were born into our rescue to the one and only Mama Twinkle (a 16-pound fluff of love). That means these boys will stay fun-sized, likely maturing around 15-17 pounds. Plus, they’re non-shedding, so your black pants are safe, and allergy-friendly homes, rejoice! These pups have been raised in one of our most stellar foster homes, so they’ve been spoiled with love, snuggles, and all the socialization perks a growing pup needs. Their days are a sweet rotation of zoomies, naps, snacks, and plotting their next mission (probably into your lap). If you’re searching for a pup who’s been prepped for takeoff into family life, your spaceship has landed. Jupiter (Male) – Jupiter is our resident love planet. This boy is made of sugar, cuddles, and everything snuggly. He’s the first to plop into your lap, the last to leave your side, and has perfected the "melting into your arms" routine. Want a dog who looks at you like you hung the stars? Jupiter’s your guy. He’ll orbit you like his own personal sun, soaking up every ounce of affection and giving it right back with kisses and gentle tail wags. Mars (Male) – Mars is the sparkplug of the galaxy! This energetic explorer brings the party wherever he goes. He’s got a charmingly bossy streak (typical big energy), always initiating play and keeping his siblings in line with well-timed pounces. Mars will keep your days filled with laughter, his little tail wagging at warp speed as he races through the universe of your home. If you want a pup who’s curious, playful, and full of “main character” energy, Mars is ready for launch. These boys are great options for homes looking for a dog-friendly companion, whether you live in a house, condo, or apartment. They’re adaptable, eager to learn, and would thrive with a family who’s home often, takes them to work, or even works outside the home but keeps a structured schedule. They’re ready to match your lifestyle—no matter which planet you call home! Bringing home a puppy is an adventure all on its own—filled with joy, kisses, and probably a few chewed-up slippers. Like all young pups, Jupiter and Mars will need continued guidance as they learn the ropes of being the best dogs they can be. That means plenty of positive reinforcement, structure, socialization, and patience as they master potty training, crate time, and basic commands. They’re blank slates ready to soak up love, lessons, and experiences. With your time and commitment, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal, loving companion who thinks you’re the brightest star in the galaxy. So, are you ready to add a little planetary magic to your life? Whether you’re team Jupiter’s snuggly sweetness or Mars’s playful spark, these pups are guaranteed to launch your heart into orbit. They've got the looks, the charm, and the personality to be the best part of your day, every day. Don’t miss your chance to bring home one of these out-of-this-world companions—fill out an application on our website and let your journey to puppy love begin!
