Meet the litter of puppies named after Gen Alpha slang

Dubai: Funds for furry friends, an NGO recently shared a post and video of a litter of puppies, to help them get adopted. But what they didn’t expect was the post going viral and gaining millions of views across social media.

The reason for the popularity? The unique names given to the puppies.

The six puppies, who are considered to be part of Generation Alpha were named after slang words. The post shared on social media was captioned, “Please welcome our Gen Alpha litter – because nothing screams 2025 like a group of pups named after TikTok vocabulary we only half understand.”

“Meet: Rizz, Sigma, Gyat, Ohio, Cap, and Skibidi. 8 weeks old and already more culturally relevant than we’ll ever be.”

“We don’t know their backstories (they were too busy escaping the pound like it was GTA V), but here’s what we do know. They’re cute. And yes, they will steal your girl, your heart, and possibly your sock collection,” they added.

While the names might be quirky, the NGO clarified in the post that despite the haters, the puppies are very accepting of their names. “Even Skibidi, who briefly considered rebranding as “Greg” before deciding chaos suited him better.”

The NGO then shared an update on July 28 where they mentioned Ohio, one of the puppies, had been adopted.

“Meanwhile, Rizz, Gyat, Cap, Skibidi, and Sigma are still here, somehow single, despite going viral with 7.5 million views. Like, how are you famous and homeless?” the post was captioned.

They went on to add that the puppies, now ten-weeks-old, live with “kids, cats, dogs, and vibes, and they’re working on their house training like the little pros they are.”

Netizens on the internet fell in love with the puppies and their unique names immediately and began inquiring about them. One user commented, “Ohio can have all my money and my whole house.”

Another user commented, “329k likes on the first post about them and still no homes? How come?”

The NGO then clarified saying, “The issue with going viral is the traffic is from other countries, not close to us.”

The puppies are currently up for adoption in Canada and will require you to go and see them in person, the NGO clarified in other posts.
