Story
JJ is the happiest and easiest dog his foster family has ever met! His little butt wiggles with each step and his tail wags non-stop. He finds joy laying on the couch with his favorite toy, hunting for lizards near the woodpile and running in the backyard. He will “Sit Pretty” for treats and he’s completely adorable. JJ came to us after his owner passed away. It took some time to settle in with his foster family and new surroundings. He’s looking for a family who can give him time to relax and show his true personality – loving and loyal, fun and quirky! With love and patience, JJ will be your best furry friend forever. This little guy is completely house trained and leash trained. He never touches anything in the home except his own toys and chews. He also loves wearing his cute bandanas! JJ lived in an apartment before coming to us, but now that he has lived with a grassy yard, there’s no going back! Even though he loves to chill indoors, he’ll need a fenced yard for some romping and rolling. Sweet JJ is 4 years old and weighs just 14 pounds. A calm household where he can be the only pet, and without young children is ideal for JJ. Please complete an adoption application at https://dashingdogrescue.com/adoption.php

I love to play and run around, always ready for a game of fetch or a brisk walk. I'm super friendly and love making new friends, though I admit, I like to be the boss during playtime. I can get a bit nippy when overly excited, so I might do best in a home without little ones. I'm full of energy and affection, looking for someone who enjoys an active lifestyle as much as I do. Adopting me means endless fun and a loyal companion by your side. Let's start our adventure together!February 8, 2026, 5:20 pm

She has a low shed coat (no breed is 100% no-shed) and would be a good dog for a family that has people that are a little sensitive to dog dander. Poppi will be a wonderful companion dog for any home with moderare energy and a possibly a canine companion for Poppi. Poppi needs a home or somebody’s going to be home during the day because she’s only a year old needs time to decompress. She’s good in a crate for up to 2 to 3 hours but we’re looking for someone who works from home most of the time well she needs continued affection and attention and love. Poppi is full grown but she’s definitely a small breed dog Poppi has moderate energy but since she has a small breed, she does tire out pretty easily and it is very good about settling down to cuddle!

Story
Hi There! Are you looking for a handsome, tan, lover boy? I'm Teddy, the guy for you! I am a  2 1/2-year-old dapper, tan Cairn Terrier/Dachshund mix. I thrive on affection. I love being loved - my theme song could very well be "Somebody to Love." There's nothing I love more than sitting and cuddling in a lap, and I'm eager to find that special spot forever. Could your lap be the place for me? I love to run and play in the backyard. I'm very interested in observing squirrels and giving them a good chase. Give me a toy and I am a busy, happy boy.  I also come with a set of skills too- I sit on command, come when called, and walk well on my leash. I'm comfortable around other dogs and am housebroken.  While I'm still figuring out how I feel about cats I get along well with other dogs, and I would do well with older kids, but maybe not toddlers  I tend to bark at people until I get to know them, but with lessons from my foster, I am working on developing better barking manners.  I'm a brave and loving special-needs dog who has experienced seizures over the past few months, each about two months apart. Despite these challenges, I continue to lead a normal like any regular dog - enjoying my walks, playtime, and cuddles just like any other day. Recently, I began taking seizure medication to help manage my condition.  I dream of a place with a cozy human lap where I can live in the heart of my forever family. I would love to meet you and hope you can be my forever place. Are you my somebody to love?
