What an innocent baby face on this boy! Isn’t he sooo cute?! Today’s Five O’Clock Cuteness is Jack Frost, an adorable 1 year old Pit Bull Terrier mix available for adoption in Fairport New York from Lollypop Farm the Humane Society of Greater Rochester. Jack got his name because he has such beautiful snow-white fur but, as winter set in, it became clear that he could have been named for his love of playing in the frosty snow! He really enjoys running around and playing in the snowy yard as he works on mastering his ball tossing skills. He’s a sticky little guy, but he loves to play with the big boys and would be best in a home with older children as he is quite strong. For more on this smart and loving boy, please visit his Adopt-a-Pet.com profile: http://bit.ly/20S0CX1 We’ve got to give it up to the animal lovers at Purina for helping Jack Frost be seen here today.

You can tell Turbo has a lot on his mind. He’s wondering when it will be his turn for a forever home. Want to help him find it? Let’s all share this far and wide! Today’s Five O’Clock Cuteness is the quirky and handsome Turbo, a 3 year old Miniature Pinscher / Chihuahua mix available for adoption in Meridian Idaho from Meridian Valley Humane Society. Turbo is a loving little guy who will generously shower you with kisses and love. He’s a little snuggle bug who dreams of being someone’s adored lap dog. He’s learning how to walk on leash and it’s clear this is a new skill for him, as he is very unsure of himself when attached to a lead. He will walk a little bit with some coaxing, but is quick to sit down and wait. With a little practice with a loving adopter, he will surely master this skill!
