About Acorn

*Acorn is temporarily living in a foster home until they find their family. If you would like to meet Acorn, we recommend scheduling an appointment with one of our Adoptions Specialists, so we can ensure they are here to meet you when you arrive. Please click “Adopt Acorn” to complete an interest survey and one of our Adoptions Specialists will connect with you to set up an appointment!*

Acorn may start out as a shy little wallflower, but once he knows he can trust you, he blossoms into the most affectionate and loving lap dog! This one-year-old sweetheart has already proven himself to be a wonderful companion — playful, gentle, and full of heart.

In his foster home, Acorn showed just how special he is. He wasn’t destructive, loved lounging in the yard, and soaked up every chance to relax and cuddle. Once he’s comfortable, that adorable puppy spunk shines through — he’s curious, eager to learn, and always ready for a new adventure. With his energy and enthusiasm, Acorn could be a fantastic running buddy or even an agility star in the making!

He’s also dog-friendly and has done well with other pups, making him a great fit for a home with canine friends or as your one-and-only sidekick.
