Story
Ava brings a smile to the face of everyone who meets her. And speaking of meeting people, Ava loves everyone. This little paralyzed girl wears a diaper and had her back legs amputated- but that doesn’t slow her down a bit! Ava loves to play with other small dogs, people, and toys. She is absolutely perfect during diaper changes and a breeze to take care of - bonus, no accidents in the house. :) Ava sleeps quietly in a crate and gets very excited during dinner time. Because of her small size and mobility issues, we are looking for an adopter without large dogs or small children. All dogs are spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccines, heartworm prevention and flea/tick prevention and microchipped. Dentals are also done if necessary* Please do NOT email us, instead apply via our website at www.proudpupsrescue.com

Story
Hi! My name is Jasper and I’m a six year old terrier mix. I’m pretty small and weigh under twenty pounds. I’m super cuddly and like to run and play. I’m bonded to Renesme and we have to be adopted together. I’m a bit slow to warm up to strangers and might try and nip them at first greeting. I also need to be in a house with no kids or older kids because I’m a little nippy.  March 7, 2026, 3:29 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi, I’m Alexis I’m a sweet little Border Terrier mix who somehow found myself wandering through a neighborhood all alone, looking a bit lost and hoping someone would help me. Thankfully, kind people brought me to safety, and now I’m ready to find a forever home where I’ll never have to wonder where I belong again. I was born around 5/6/2025 and weigh about 20 pounds — just the perfect size to tag along wherever you go. I absolutely adore people and always want to be close to my humans. If you’re sitting down, there’s a good chance I’ll want to sit nearby too. I’m a very loving girl with a gentle personality. I can be a little jumpy at times, so older kids would probably be best for me. I also seem to be pretty quiet overall and don’t spend my time barking in my kennel. I’m mostly potty trained, though like any dog, I may need a little patience and consistency while adjusting to a new home and routine. One important thing to know about me: I am a fence climber, so I will need a secure, properly fenced backyard to keep me safe. I’m curious and adventurous. I’m spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, 4DX negative, and current on ProHeart 12 and Bravecto — all ready for my next chapter. Adoption fee: $400 Apply at: www.adoggie4you.org Alexis is currently in Texas but can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, Kentucky, and locations along the East Coast for an additional $225 transport fee. Please note that transport is not available to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 2, 2026, 5:11 pm
