Adoption fee: $650 Meet the Starbucks Puppies Hot Cocoa, Caramel Macchiato, and Pink Drink are what we like to call Heinz 57 pups - they've got a splash of a whole bunch of breeds thrown in there! We did what you all will be doing - we ran their photos through AI - and it suggested German Pinscher and Hound mix. Whatever their mystery formula is, it's 100% cuteness with a heavy splash of sweetness! Hot Cocoa is 11-12 weeks old and about 15 lbs. She's fostered separately from her siblings and has done really well being a solo pup in her foster home! Cocoa is fostered with two children and is very fond of them. At DPS events, she loves being reunited with her siblings for puppy playtime and can wrestle with the best of them! She's also a toy fiend. Her foster family says that as puppies go, she's got a very balanced energy. She's definitely playful but is also a great snuggle buddy when it's time for a nap! Growing Up Starbucks All of the Starbucks puppies are playful, loving, and wonderful with children. They enjoy attention, activity, and being part of whatever their people are doing. Like most puppies their age, they are teething and love to chew. Rope toys and durable puppy-safe chews help soothe their gums and keep them appropriately entertained. They have not shown much interest in digging and are generally not especially vocal. Their adopters should be prepared to continue working on potty training, crate or pen training, leash skills, appropriate chewing, socialization, and all the other lessons that come with raising a young puppy. With consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, these eager-to-please puppies should make wonderful students. The Perfect Order The ideal homes for the Starbucks puppies will provide plenty of affection, playtime, exercise, training, and opportunities to remain closely connected with their people. They would be delighted to join families with children who understand how to interact gently with a growing puppy. No matter your order, this Starbucks menu has something irresistible for every puppy lover.
