Connecting Puppies with Loving Homes Since 2002.
We’ve been matching puppies with their “fur-ever” homes since 2002. I guess you could say we’re 161 years old in dog years! That’s a lot of connections, nose boops, and puppy kisses, and we couldn’t be more proud of what we do. Whether you are listing your loving puppies on Puppies.com or searching for the perfect puppy, we are here when you need us.
Not Just for Puppies. All Dogs Deserve to Find a Good Home.
Puppies.com also helps match adult dogs with loving homes, because every dog deserves a second chance.
Over 4,400 adult dogs found new families through our rehoming listings in 2023. Proof that love knows no age.
🐾 Puppy kisses shared? Too many to count, and we’re not complaining.
