North Meck Animal Rescue | German Shepherd/Pyrenees Mix | 3 months old

Christmas Puppy Names: Dinosaur, Chase, Zara, Teddy Bear, Hazel Mae, and Sparkles

For the final day of the 12 Dogs of Christmas, we’re introducing a very special group: the Christmas Puppies! A playful, fluffy litter of six, ready to grow into loyal companions and future gentle giants.

These six puppies are full of curiosity, energy, and heart. Equal parts cuddly and mischievous, they’re discovering the world one paw at a time and soaking up everything around them. With their German Shepherd and Great Pyrenees mix, they’re expected to grow into large, devoted dogs who thrive with consistency, enrichment, and lots of love.

Why the Christmas Puppies will steal your heart:

  • Playful, energetic, and full of puppy curiosity

  • Fluffy, fast-growing pups destined to become gentle giants

  • Social, confident, and eager to learn

  • Great fit for adopters ready to invest in training and structure

  • Ready to grow up alongside their humans and build lifelong bonds

Puppyhood comes with responsibility, but it also comes with unmatched joy, and these pups are ready to turn everyday moments into lifelong memories.

Beer pairing? Absolutely! These puppies pair well with 10th Inning Ballpark Blonde Ale. Smooth, approachable, and feel-good. The perfect pairing for puppies kicking off the very first chapter of their big, beautiful lives.

Adoption perks: Adopt the puppies by Dec. 31, and they’ll come with a special holiday adoption package:

  • 🎁 $50 Lost Worlds Brewing gift card

  • 🎁 Dog starter kit from Dog Supplies Huntersville (food, collar, leash)

  • 🎁 Training support from Project Six NC to help set both the puppies and their adopters up for success
