Rescued with their mama right after they were born, these pups have their SPF (Super Positive Fun) rubbed in, their cooler packed, and are ready to dive into the season with you. Even the lifeguard will turn to follow their cute bunny hops. These pups have been with dogs, cats and children! They are so friendly and socialized.<br/><br/>From the foster:<br/><br/>"We were out of town when we received a text asking if we could foster a mama Shepherd and her nine newborn babies, all listed on a shelter’s euthanasia list. It broke our hearts to think their lives would end when they’d just begun, so of course we said YES! DPS arranged their transport and overnight stay until we could return home. Mama and her tiny pups arrived and settled in, safe at last. They were little love balls, all curled up and nestled into one another. Look at them now! They are cute, silly, playful, smart, and SO loving.<br/><br/>The Beach puppies spend their days together playing, exploring, sleeping and eating. We wake up about 7am and they’re ready to head outside. They have access to the yard all day and run around the grass, test the toys, dogpile for naps, play in the bushes, happily greet visitors, more naps, and free-feed (mixture of kibble + wet food). Zonk-out time is about 9pm. They sleep well through the night, together in a large pen. No barking.<br/><br/>All the pups have been well socialized, visiting businesses, schools, and lots and lots of kids. They’ve been exposed to the hustle and bustle of a busy foster home, plus neighborhood construction, the vacuum, etc. Their mama is a 50-pound GSD with the most silky soft fur, and she doted on them and raised them well.<br/><br/>We have fostered many great litters before but there’s something extra special about this one - they are a soulful bunch that melt into you."<br/><br/>Pull up a beach chair and meet the litter:<br/><br/>Coming Ashore! When his boat comes in, this Sailor wins over all the humans standing at the dock. White toes peek out from his sandals. Sailor’s the guy who always shows up with a wagging tail and perfect beach-day vibes. With his little white-tipped toes and gentle nature, he wins hearts effortlessly. He’s confident but calm, curious without being chaotic—a pup who’ll happily trot beside you on morning strolls or curl up at your feet during quiet evenings. Whether you're headed to the park or just reading on the porch, Sailor will be your loyal first mate.<br/><br/>What’s a beach day without sand? Glistening in the sun, Sandy is there with you every step of the way, especially in your heart. Sandy is soft, soulful, and absolutely devoted. She's the kind of pup who sits beside you and gently rests her head on your leg, like she's known you forever. Always observing, always listening, she’s your steady companion for life's simple moments—watering the garden, watching the sunrise, or just sharing a quiet afternoon. She’ll never let you feel alone.<br/><br/>Got a little Sunshine in your pocket? She might not exactly fit in your pocket but she will brighten up your every day with her spunky personality and light demeanor. This little ray of light lives up to her name. Sunshine is bright, spunky, and always has her tail wagging. She brings joy into any room with her upbeat personality and cheerful spirit. She’s the kind of dog who will make friends at the coffee shop, charm the mail carrier, and turn strangers into smiles. Her enthusiasm is contagious, and her love is limitless.<br/><br/>Everybody goes Surf ing! With his rugged good looks he’s the perfect wingman, riding along on your adventures. With his handsome good looks and go-with-the-flow attitude, Surf is the ultimate sidekick. He’s playful and social but not overwhelming—just the right kind of fun. Surf is the kind of pup you can imagine cruising down the coast with, wind in your hair and his ears flapping in the breeze. Whether you're an adventurer or a homebody, Surf is ready to ride life’s waves right by your side.<br/><br/>Beach puppy adopters are welcoming a very special addition to their family. Thank you to DPS for rescuing them and we’re grateful we got to be part of their life journey. They are loved!
