My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

PLEASE READ ENTIRE BIO TO THE BOTTOM

Opie and Pearl are 2 gorgeous chi/terrier mix pups that are as sweet as can be.

Opie is the male and he weighs approximately 14 lbs. Pearl is the female, and she weighs right at 9 lbs. We believe they were born around September 30th, which will put them around 4 months old. We do not believe they will get much bigger than they are now as they have already hit their growth spurt.

They are siblings but they are not bonded.

One of our volunteers was driving down the road in Texas, by the Mexico border, when these 2 puppies ran out in the road and almost got ran over. They were not street smart. Our volunteer followed the puppies and found the home they belonged to. We found out these 2 puppies (and the momma dog) belonged to a couple who had gotten them for their adult autistic son. The puppies and mom had never seen a veterinarian, and they did not have a fence to secure them, so they would just open the door and let the dogs out to go running the streets and neighborhood.

Thankfully, they agreed to surrender the puppies to us, but unfortunately, they would not let us have the mom. The mom weighed around 18 lbs.

These pups are very sweet, and very submissive. They act shy, but once you baby talk them, they become jello and just start wiggling their butts, rolling over for tummy rubs and just melt.

Pearl is a little more outgoing than Opie, but they are both learning to love humans. They love other dogs and get along great with them!

They have met cats and do fine with them.

They have toys and enjoy playing with them, but they enjoy mischief a little bit more. When they are in their crate, they think the best game is which one can pull more stuff into the crate from outside of the crate.

Pearl and Opie love sleeping on the bed/couch! They are crate trained, and working on full house training.

We recommend kids 5+ years for these 2 as they may shy away from younger children.

If you’re looking for a smaller dog that doesn’t shed too much, enjoy being held, will be the most loyal companions and follow you everywhere and cuddle when you let them, please look no further than Opie or Pearl.

These babies are FIXED (spayed/neutered), current on parvo/distemper vaccinations, current on bordatella, current on annual rabies vaccine, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, current on dewormer, microchipped, fecal test, will receive a clean bill of health from a veterinarian.

To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org

This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals out in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We do adopt in Central US and the East Coast.

The adoption fee listed INCLUDES transport from Texas to the location where this animal is posted in.

Transport goes to the following locations every 2-3 weeks:
Albany, NY
Wells and Brattleboro, VT
Willington, CT
Port Chester, NY
Dayon and Akron, OH
Grove City and Bloomsburg, PA
Ridgefield and Mt Laurel, NJ
White Marsh, MD and Falls Church, VA

We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is best fit for your home.

Adoption application

Go meet their pets

We are based in Edinburg, Texas but we do have foster homes in areas such as NH, NJ, PA, MD, VA and Connecticut. Some animals will be available to physically meet first with an approved application, and others can be met via a video chat/face time with the foster. We are hoping to hold events in pet stores once we become more established.

More about this rescue

PI Animal Rescue is a small organization that is here to help animals all around the US, but based in Edinburg, Texas. Edinburg, Texas and surrounding towns have some of the highest kill shelters in the United States, where hundreds of animals are euthanized due to illness, space, owner surrenders, etc. We are to pull animals from those shelters, move them into foster homes, vet them, and find them their forever homes. We do it not because the animals need us, and we want to be a voice for the voiceless.
