A Canadian animal rescue has gone viral after naming a litter of puppies using Gen Alpha slang to help them stand out and get adopted.
Funds for Furry Friends, based in Brandon, Manitoba, introduced the six puppies in a July 14 Instagram post, stating, “Please welcome our Gen Alpha litter, because nothing screams 2025 like a group of pups named after TikTok vocabulary we only half understand.”
The novel naming convention quickly gained attention online, with one of the puppies, Ohio, having already found a home. In an update posted on July 28, the organization said the remaining five had yet to be adopted.

The six puppies are named Skibidi, Rizz, Sigma, Gyat, Cap, and Ohio. If, like me, you’re a poor, uneducated millennial, all slang terms owe their origins to TikTok memes or elsewhere on social media.
Rizz is a synonym for charismatic, Cap shorthand to signal a lie, Sigma to describe a self-assured person, and Ohio to describe something as weird. As far as Gyat and Skibidi are concerned, your best bet in untangling those is paying Urban Dictionary a visit.
Per the rescue’s numerous follow-up posts on each pup’s adoption status, would-be puppy owners can enquire about adopting any of the five remaining puppies by visiting the rescue in person.
