The NYT Games Puppies are a litter of playful puppies who can't wait to help you complete your daily game rotation! These puppies are 3 months old and we think they are a mix of Shih Tzu x Pekingese x Pug x Beagle and maybe a bit of Tibetan Spaniel (ok we really put on our sleuth caps but may need a few 'hints'). These puppies were surrendered to us at 8 weeks old as the result of an oopsie litter. We promised to find all four of these boys the best forever homes and they can't wait to make life joyful for their new families!

Spelling Bee: Bee is a total Mama's boy who loves giving kisses as he snuggles into your lap. He weighs 10 pounds as of March 27. He adores his canine companions and would love a sibling in his new home. Like any good Puggle, Bee will do just about anything for a treat or a cuddle so he will be a total goofy joy in your home! Bee also knows how to strike a pose as you hit "Genius", so a model dog is in your future!
Connection: Connection is Mr. Personality who lights up any room he tumbles into! Connection weighs 10.2 pounds as of March 27. Connection is the most confident of his siblings, and loves roping his brothers into long wrestling sessions as he zooms around the yard. Connection doesn't have a shy bone in his body and he totally knows that he is the world's cutest puppy! With his Shih Tzu coat, you will want to pet him for hours at a time as you puzzle over the daily Connections puzzle, and he is happy to be by your side as you win!
Crossword: Crossword is the biggest cuddlebug who has the softest fur and the sweetest personality. He weighs 7 pounds as of March 27. Crossword loves to give kisses and his favorite spot is wherever you are (or a soft blanket). Crossword is figuring out this whole toy thing and has discovered that toys magically appear in his pen whenever he nibbles on a finger. This gorgeous Pekingese mix also loves being brushed and doted on. With Crossword by your side, you will hit a new high score every day!
Sudoku: Sudoku is a sweet and sensitive pup who can't wait to blossom in his forever home! Sudoku weighs 7 pounds as of March 27. Sudoku is the most laid-back of the brothers, preferring to let his brothers try new things before he gets involved. Once he knows and loves you though, he is all in! Despite his small size, he dutifully watches over his brothers as their protector, which is absolutely adorable. You'll find Sudoku ready to help you check off easy, medium, hard AND expert mode (just as long as he gets a cookie out of it)!

The puppies start their day at 8 AM with a trip outside to zoom around and potty before they come inside for breakfast in a cleaned out pen. They spend their morning cycling between sleep, snacks, and playtime with each other. They love a good puppy pile and are always eager to follow the leader in endless circles. After lunchtime, they get some outside time as long as the sun is out and get to sniff out adventure. In the evening, they have dinner and then get one-on-one snuggle time with their foster family before heading to bed to start again.
The puppies have been well socialized with dogs of all ages and sizes. They have been introduced to cats and were respectful. They will require continued training and socialization, especially with people, so we will be looking for homes with a strong plan for training. We will be looking for individual homes for each boy, as we do not place siblings together. Don't let someone else beat your high score, adopt one of these cuties today!

The NYT Games puppies are only an option for homes who have owned a dog in the last 5 years. Kids in the home should be over the age of 8.
