When police were called to a vacant home, they found a tiny, scared puppy inside — abandoned with no food, no water, and no hope. That puppy was Bourbon.
At just 14 weeks old, Bourbon has already survived more heartache than most experience in a lifetime. Yet despite every reason to be scared, shut down, or angry at the world, Bourbon chooses love. He adores people with a heart wide open and forgiving. It’s almost hard to believe, considering how deeply humans have failed him.
Bourbon is now safe in a foster home, where he’s quickly making friends with everyone — dogs, cats, and even chickens! His spirit is nothing short of incredible: sweet, gentle, and grateful for every kind word and soft touch.
While in foster care, Bourbon is starting the journey every puppy deserves — learning potty training, crate training, good manners, and what it feels like to be truly loved and protected. He’s catching up on the basic things all puppies need: full bellies, warm beds, and arms to fall asleep in.
Bourbon is ready to find a family who sees his heart, not just his past — a family who will never let him wonder if he’s loved or safe ever again.
If you’re ready to give Bourbon the life he’s been waiting for — filled with adventure, laughter, belly rubs, and unconditional love — he’s ready to meet you with tail wags and open arms.
Bourbon will be up to date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, fecal tested, dewormed and started on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention prior to adoption.
