This dog will be at Palo Alto Pet Food Express on Saturday, May 3rd from 12-3pm or until adopted. If you would like the first opportunity to adopt, please fill out an application to be considered.
 
Adoption Fee: $850Straight from the aisles of Toys “R” Us, meet the 80’s Toys Litter! 9 week old nostalgia-fueled Shih Tzu-Maltese mixes (with a few mystery ingredients—kind of like the best grab bag from your favorite 80s toy store). These totally rad pups are the fur-babies of a 13 lb mom and a 10 lb dad, and they’re destined to be small-sized sidekicks with larger-than-life personalities. Ready to moonwalk into your heart and remix your life with snuggles and puppy antics.

Pound Puppy (M)
The name says it all. This little dude lives to love. Sensitive, soulful, and sweeter than a push-pop, Pound Puppy would rather hang with his humans than his siblings. He’s a velcro pup who wants to be your shadow—curled in your lap, staring into your eyes, and wondering what you’re doing for the next 12–15 years. He's calm, cuddly, and sleeps through the night like a good boi from the land of Care Bears and lullabies. Don’t stop believin’… that your best friend is right here.

My Little Pony (F)
Tiny in size, enormous in confidence. This little gal struts like she’s headed to an aerobics class with a Walkman and a mission. She’s the fearless leader of the bunch, always first to explore, first to initiate play, and first to take down her (much bigger) brothers in an epic game of 80s-style puppy wrestling. She's playful, smart, and independent—but still loves a cuddle when the adventure’s over. She's your punky Brewster in puppy form.

Thundercat (M)
Energetic, charming, and a little bit wild—Thundercat is the life of the party. Whether he’s chasing a squeaky toy or trying to engage the nearest child in a round of tag, he’s all about the action. But this guy’s no loose cannon—he’s brave and thoughtful, checking things out before charging in. He’s the perfect combo of chaos and cuddles, like a Saturday morning cartoon marathon on paws.

Daily Schedule (aka Puppy Routine, 80s Infomercial Edition)
Cue jingle: “It’s 6:30am, and the fun begins!”


6:30am: Wake-up & potty break (outside, of course—these puppies are party-trained professionals in progress).


7:30am: Breakfast! (Graze now, snack later vibes).


Throughout the Day: Play hard, nap harder. Every 2–3 hours it's potty-break, play, and pass out in rotation.


12pm: Lunch—especially good with a splash of water remix.


5:30/6pm: Dinner and one last outdoor jam session.


9pm: Bedtime snuggles, crate cuddles, and lights out for the night.


They’re doing awesome with potty training during the day—just like we all learned from Schoolhouse Rock, consistency is key! Overnight, they may have a couple of pen accidents (they’re still babies!), but they’re well on their way to A+ puppy citizenship.
It's 10pm—do you know where your puppies are? (Answer: snug as a bug, curled up together like a pile of Cabbage Patch Kids.)

Training & Socialization Tips
These little 80s legends are in their prime window for learning—just like learning to solve a Rubik’s Cube, it takes patience and repetition. Keep sessions short, positive, and frequent. Crate training, basic commands, and exposure to different environments, people, dogs, and even cats are all critical right now. They're food motivated and eager to please—so channel your inner Mr. Miyagi: reward good behavior, redirect the rest.
Their ideal playlist includes:


New smells


New surfaces (grass, tile, hardwood)


Gentle handling from adults and kids


Treats for every “sit,” “come,” and “good potty!”



So if you’re ready to trade in your Trapper Keeper for a leash and squeaky toy, hop in your time machine (or minivan) and come meet the 80’s Toys litter. They’re small, spunky, and all out of pogs—but they’ve got endless love to give. 
Warning: falling in love with these pups may cause spontaneous Blockbuster-themed dreams and uncontrollable urges to sing 80s ballads while holding a puppy like a boombox.
