Ivy

Ivy is a young puppy with a tough start but still has plenty of love to give! Pep Pals Rescue saved her mother, Dixie, and her pups from San Antonio Animal Care Services, one of the highest kill shelters in the US. Dixie was an owner surrender with a 10-month-old puppy. The shelter gave them just three days before they would be euthanized, but Dixie gave birth to 14 puppies, which saved her life for another three days. The 10-month-old puppy was euthanized the same day due to lack of space. When Pep Pals Rescue stepped in, the entire litter and Dixie were hours away from being put to sleep. Despite all of this, Ivy is affectionate, curious, athletic, friendly, and fun, and she has lots of cuddles to give! She's very playful and intelligent! If you're looking for a cute, affectionate, and loyal companion, Ivy is the one for you!
