Meet Jalapeño Popper – The Only Kind of Popper That Belongs on Your Couch! 3–4 months old | Lab Mix | Bite-sized (for now)
If you like your dogs like you like your snacks—irresistible, mildly spicy, and totally addictive—meet Jalapeño Popper. This puppy may be small in size, but he’s big on charm, snuggles, and comedic timing.
Here’s the dish on this snack-sized sweetheart:


Appetizer-Sized Lab: Jalapeño Popper has all the heart of a Lab, but in a more compact, carry-on-approved form. He’s on the smaller side and not expected to get huge.


Breakfast at 7, snacks by noon, dinner at 5: This guy’s got a better meal plan than most college students.


Fully house-trained: OK, maybe mostly house-trained. The doggie door is still a mysterious portal to him, but he’ll let you know when it’s go-time.


Day job: Professional cuddler. When he’s not snoozing next to his human, he’s politely chilling with one of the other dogs or inspecting toys like a tiny, adorable quality control officer.


Team player: Living with four dogs, from a tripod beagle to a 95-pound gentle giant, and he’s best buds with them all.


Snuggle rating: 10/10. Will curl up with you on the couch, in bed, or wherever the coziest spot is. He’s not picky—he just wants in.


Energy level: Equal parts toy inspector and cuddle connoisseur. He’ll empty the toy basket like it’s his job, then crash like he just ran a marathon.


Not a barker: Except when joining in on the group chat with the other dogs. He’s got opinions, but he’s polite about it.


Kid & cat potential: No young children in his current foster home, but he’s sweet and gentle—likely great with respectful kids. Cats? Met them. Totally unimpressed. No drama.


Ideal Home? A family with another friendly dog would be the cherry on top. He’s got enough love for everyone and thrives on affection and snuggles.
Why Jalapeño Popper? Because he’s the perfect mix of silly, sweet, and spicy (in the "wants to play with all your toys and then fall asleep in your lap" kind of way). He’s possibly the cutest dog you’ll ever meet, and he has no idea—he just wants to love and be loved.
