Meet Artichoke Arti.
The Vegetable That Everyone Actually Wants

Let's clear something up right away...

Yes, his name is Artichoke.

No, he doesn't taste good with butter.

He's much better served with belly rubs, squeaky toys, and unlimited cuddle time.

Around the rescue, we call him Arti, and this handsome Lab mix has somehow mastered the impossible combination of being a fearless puppy and a professional snuggle expert.

Arti came into rescue with his siblings after they were surrendered when there were serious concerns for their safety. Thankfully, those difficult days are behind him, and now he's focused on the important things in life, making friends, chasing toys, and convincing every human he meets that they should stop whatever they're doing and pet him immediately.

His daily schedule is pretty packed:

Dominate another game of Ice Cube Hockey.

Solve a puzzle toy like the tiny genius he is.
