Relish

Relish is an eight-week-old terrier mix with a playful little personality, a sweet, affectionate side, and all the curiosity you would expect from a tiny puppy discovering the world for the first time.

Relish, her siblings and their mom were all at Riverside Animal Shelter before coming into our rescue. Now she is safe, growing, playing, and waiting for the family who will get to give her the childhood she deserves.

Relish loves to play, explore, and be part of whatever is happening around her. She is still such a baby, which means every day brings something new to learn: new people, new routines, new sounds, new toys, new places to investigate. And when all of that puppy energy finally wears off, her affectionate side comes out. Relish enjoys attention and being close to people, and we expect her to become a loving little companion as she continues to grow.

Her mom weighs about 12 pounds, and based on Relish's current size, we expect her to stay small as an adult, likely around 10 pounds or under. As with any mixed-breed puppy, adult size is always an estimate.

Because Relish is only eight weeks old, her adopter should be ready for everything that comes with raising a puppy: potty training, teething, socialization, structure, routine, patience, plenty of playtime, and helping her grow into a confident, well-adjusted adult dog. We want her family to be excited about the whole journey, not only the adorable puppy stage.

Let's Rescue Dogs will cover Relish's first round of vaccines, and once she is old enough, we will also cover the cost of her spay after adoption.

Relish started her life in a shelter beside her mom and siblings. Now she gets the chance to grow up knowing something completely different: a safe home, a family who chooses her, and a lifetime of play, affection and belonging. Relish is ready for the rest of her story. She just needs the family who gets to be part of it.
