Meet John (aka “Puppy”) — A Big Heart Looking for His One True Forever

Sometimes, even when love is real, life changes.

John — lovingly called Puppy — is coming back to Lucky Paws Rescue through no fault of his own. His family’s world shifted quickly with a pregnancy and a job transfer, and they made the heartbreaking decision to return him so he can find the stability and permanence he deserves.

And make no mistake… this boy is pure joy wrapped in fur.

John is sweet, affectionate, and overflowing with happiness. He gives all the kisses, all the cuddles, and all the love. If there’s an open lap, a couch corner, or a cozy spot near his people, he will find it — because cuddling is his favorite thing in the world.

He’s also fast. Like… blink-and-he’s-gone fast.John lives for zoomies — racing joyful laps around the yard, playfully chasing other dogs (even though he usually laps them and ends up chasing from the front ). He’s been raised with medium to large dogs and does wonderfully with them, happily and respectfully submitting to both male and female dogs.

John is fantastic with children. He’s lived with a toddler and a baby and has been nothing but gentle, patient, and loving — never a growl, never irritation, just a big-hearted puppy who wants to be part of the family.

He is energetic, and like any smart, young dog, he needs an outlet for that energy. When he doesn’t get enough stimulation, he’ll entertain himself — chewing, digging, or finding his own “projects.” He will thrive in a home that understands puppies need structure, exercise, enrichment, and consistency.

What breaks our hearts the most is that John has already experienced what it feels like to belong… and now he’s starting over.

We are begging — pleading — for a permanent, committed home for this boy. Not a “for now.” Not a “we’ll see.”But a forever.

John is not disposable.He is not temporary.He is love. He is loyalty. He is joy.

If you are ready to give him stability, patience, guidance, and a lifetime of cuddles and adventures — John will give you his whole heart in return.

Please help us make sure this is the last time he has to say goodbye.
