Hi, I’m Esme!

I’m a squishy, wiggly little Lab mix, born on March 10, 2025—and I’m living proof that even the tiniest fighters can grow into the happiest pups. I was found all alone at just a few weeks old—cold, scared, and barely hanging on. But a kindhearted rescuer scooped me up, gave me warmth and food, and most importantly, love. Fast forward a few weeks, and now I’m full of tail wags, zoomies, and kisses. I’ve got a second chance at life, and I plan to make the most of it!

Here’s why I’m puppy perfection:

Certified Cuddle Bug: I love being held and snuggled—I’m basically a living, breathing plush toy.

Full of Puppy Energy: Playing, pouncing, chewing, zooming—I do it all with gusto.

Sweet as Can Be: My tail wags are powered by pure love and joy.

Super Social: I love meeting new people and soaking up attention.

Kid-Approved: I’m gentle and playful—ready to grow up with a little human bestie.

A little more about me:

I’m still working on potty training (cut me some slack—I’m just a baby!), and I haven’t had much leash time yet. I don’t use a crate, but I’m doing great with my routine and love being part of the action. I’m very energetic, very affectionate, and just the right amount of independent—I’ll follow you around, but I can also entertain myself with a good toy (or, okay, sometimes your shoe…).

What’s my dream home?

I’d love an active household with space to play, explore, and grow. A yard would be amazing, but more important is a family who will guide me, love me, and let me blossom into the beautiful, loyal companion I’m destined to be. Whether you’re a family with kids or a single pup parent looking for your new BFF, I’ll be the light of your life.

My adoption fee is $550. This fee covers my first year of vaccinations, spay, and microchip. Do I sound like the pup for you? You can fill out an application to adopt me at thecantufoundation.org.

I’m Esme—adorable, playful, and sweet. Let’s grow up together!
