Whisky – Our Second Chance Pup with a BIG Personality

A few months after saying goodbye to our beloved dog Tramp, also a cocker retriever mix, we knew our home wasn’t complete without a furry companion. That’s when we came across Candyville Pups—and more importantly, Whisky. He had been returned once before, but when we saw his picture and heard his story, we knew he was meant to be with us.

From day one, Whisky kept us on our toes! He is incredibly observant, quick to learn new tricks, and always one step ahead of us (sometimes two!!). Since Whisky was an older pupper with some lived experience, we took some time to truly understand him and give him a chance to acclimatize to us. We have now built a routine that works for him. He is our self-appointed security chief-in-residence — if it moves, even miles away, he let us know! But as he has settled in, he is learning slowly but surely when its ok to just relax soak up the snuggles.

Candyville Pups was upfront about Whisky’s situation, and we couldn’t be more grateful for their honesty and care. With our rescue-oriented mindset, we saw this as an opportunity to do right by yet another pupper. And let’s just say, it was the best decision. Our home is livelier, funnier, and filled with so much love because of him. We can’t wait for many more adventures together!
