Story
Sugar Plum is a small, 12-pound adult dog with a big heart and a lot of love to give. She's a very loyal and quiet dog who loves to cuddle up on the couch with her favorite humans. She's dignified but very affectionate and seems to love gentle attention. Sugar Plum is friendly and gentle with both people and other dogs. She's a well-mannered dog who would make a great addition to just about any family, especially those with gentle, dog-loving children. Sugar Plum would enjoy accompanying you on walks, napping at your feet, and joining you on car rides. She's a good listener and will stick by your side through thick and thin. If you're looking for a furry friend to add to your family, Sugar Plum is waiting for you with his tail wagging and lots of kisses. Sugar Plum was rescued from a kind-hearted hoarder who meant no harm, but because there were so many dogs, Sugar Plum and others slept outside. She is really loving staying indoors and is learning about crate and developing her house training skills.

Story
Hammy is sweet, gets along with other dogs, and has the cutest apple-shaped noggin you’ll ever see. Although she’s a senior, she still has plenty of energy for playing pickle ball, knitting, and telling you about all the neighborhood gossip. Here’s some notes from her foster: Gail is a petite, short legged chi who wants to be your best friend. She can be shy at first but warms up quickly and then just wants to be nearby her favorite person/people. She would likely do well as an only dog or with a pal to hang with, especially if you are away from home a lot. Being that she is small and in her senior years, we believe she would be fine with children who are older, respectful, kind and gentle with her. Hammy is housebroken and has not had an accident inside. She eats well and has put on a little weight, which she needed. Since we don't have stairs, we don't know if she will be great at stairs or not. She mostly hangs out in her bed at my feet but also checks out the world at the living room window. She has a little bark when new people come to the house but will stop when you tell her to. She is okay at home alone (with my other dog) but will whine a bit at first, then settles in her bed until you return. She clearly would prefer to go with you on your adventures!

Story
Meet Bronson, a spirited Chihuahua-Terrier mix with a big personality and a playful heart. Bronson is friendly, fun-loving, and adores fetch and squeaky toys. He's housetrained, crate-trained, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines - and he's looking for a home where he can truly thrive. Bronson bonds deeply with his person and prefers to be the center of attention. He would do best in a home with no kids or respectful dog-savvy kids who can understand him and can give him the space he needs. He warms up slowly to new people and dogs, but becomes affectionate and loyal once he feels secure. Bronson would love a home where he can be spoiled, doted on, and loved like the only child he wishes to be.

Story
Meet Ruby, a Chihuahua-Dachsund mix with a tender heart and a quiet spirit. Ruby came to us very pregnant and scared, but bravely delivered and lovingly raised a beautiful litter of puppies. Now that her mama duties are done, it's finally Ruby's turn to be cared for and cherished. She's crate-trained, nearly housetrained, and gets along well with cats and small dogs. She loves other small dogs, and there ideally should be another dog in her forever home. Though still shy and skittish, Ruby is slowly starting to play and show more of her gentle personality each day. She'll need a very patient adopter and a very secure yard to help her feel safe and loved. If you believe in second chances and the quiet joy of watching a dog blossom at her own pace, Ruby is ready to start her new chapter - with you. Please visit our website www.promise4paws.org to fill out an adoption application to this amazing pet and to see other available dogs and cats.

Story
Need a dog that gets along with dogs, cats, humans - pretty much everyone and everything - and also walks well on leash and loves to snuggle? That's me, Champ! I’m 13.5 lbs. and 15 years old, and my favorite things are walks, curling up in a blanket next to you on the couch, and naps. I am still figuring out toys but when I am really excited, I like to play with toys that do not have loud squeaks. On walks, I am calm and serene - not at all bothered by what might be going on outside (dogs, bikes, other people, etc.), as befits my age. I am appropriately wary of certain loud sounds and of new places; when it is dark it's harder for me to see. My foster says I'm the sweetest boy ever and would be a great addition to your family.January 13, 2025, 9:16 pm
