Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi there, I'm Popcorn, your friendly, goofy, gentle, curious, brave, mellow, funny, smart, playful, energetic, loyal, and a bit shy canine buddy. My journey to the shelter is quite a hilarious tale. You see, I was on a mission to dig to China from my backyard. I dug and dug until I popped up in the neighbor's yard. They were having a barbeque, and I thought, 'Why not join?' Turns out, they weren't as welcoming as I'd hoped. So, here I am, ready for new adventures with you. I'm a great listener, a superb comedian, and I promise to be the most loyal friend you'll ever have. Adopt me and let's make our own fun stories together! I'm a very outgoing boy and love playing with my kennel mates and friends. I am a little hesitant when I first meet people because I'm not sure if I can trust them. I need a quiet home where I can take my time to build confidence and trust. As you can see, I have a cherry eye. It doesn't bother me and can be surgically fixed.   To adopt this dog, please fillout an application at www.adoggie4you.org.  He was born around 12/01/2018 and weighs 21 pounds.  This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $250. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.

Story
Looking for a tiny shadow who will follow you to the ends of the earth (or at least to the kitchen)? Meet Pine Needle, the pocket-sized BFF you didn’t know you were missing! Pine Needle is a social butterfly who has never met a stranger. She’s got a personality that’s twice as big as her tiny frame and a heart that’s basically 100% pure mush. Whether she’s zooming around the yard or campaigning for a spot on your lap, this girl is all about living her best life with her favorite humans. Before you read on, you HAVE to see her in action check out her adoption video to see those tail wags for yourself! https://youtu.be/AxQB1EmyTZU Pine Needle is what we call a professional Velcro dog. If there is a lap available, she will find it; if there is a shadow to be followed, she’s on the job. She isn't just a dog who lives in your house; she’s a companion who wants to be part of your daily rhythm. While she’s happy to just "hang out," her favorite hobby is definitely being as close to you as physically possible. We suspect this little lady is a Chihuahua mix, weighing in at a dainty 10 pounds. She is perfectly small and compact, making her the ultimate take everywhere accessory for your weekend errands or brunch dates. Of course, with any rescue, her breed mix is our best educated guess but her status as a certified good girl is 100% confirmed! She is currently thriving in a foster home where she has proven to be a total rockstar. Pine Needle lives with kids and absolutely adores them! She’s also a dream roommate who is already kennel trained and potty trained, which is basically the rescue lottery. She’s ready to slide right into a forever home without missing a beat. When it comes to other dogs, Pine Needle is a friend to all. It took her about a day to settle in with her foster siblings, and now they are a tight knit pack. She would do well with almost any energy level, provided her playmates are respectful of her smaller stature. She’s happy to have a canine buddy to romp with or just a nap partner. Pine Needle thinks cats are just dogs that stand on the counter! She is not afraid of her feline foster siblings and tries to initiate playtime with them daily. While she’s very cat friendly, we always recommend a kitty sleepover to make sure she’s ready. Because of her easy going nature and compact size, Pine Needle would be just as happy in a cozy apartment as she would be in a house with a yard. Her only real requirement is a human who doesn't mind a constant sidekick. One of her cutest quirks? She isn't shy! She’ll walk right up to new people to demand the pets she knows she deserves. In short, Pine Needle is the perfect blend of playfulness and cuddle bug energy. She’s kid tested, cat approved, and ready to be the center of your world. Ready to make Pine Needle a permanent part of your lap?

Story
Looking for a tiny shadow who believes every stranger is just a best friend she hasn’t met yet? Dreaming of a purse-perfect companion whose only career goal is a full-time position with 100% lap benefits? Let me introduce you to your girl, Pine Cone. Pine Cone is a pint sized sweetheart who takes her lap dog responsibilities so sincerely seriously, you’ll start to wonder how you ever watched TV without a tiny, warm bestie tucked perfectly into your lap. She doesn’t just cuddle, she commits! You truly have to see this girl in motion to believe the cuteness.  https://youtu.be/A7OjTe14ogY With her dainty looks and charming personality, we’re pretty convinced she’s a Chihuahua mix. Of course, as with most rescues, we can’t guarantee breed or age, but we can guarantee the stats on her adorableness. Ready for this? Pine Cone weighs a mighty… 9 whole pounds. Small body, enormous heart. Currently waiting for her forever home, Pine Cone has proven herself to be an absolute rockstar in every social setting. She’s wonderfully respectful and kid-approved, handling time with little humans with a gentle, sweet spirit that makes everyone feel at ease. She’s also a crate champ! While she might offer the tiniest whine just to let you know she’d prefer extra cuddles, she settles into her routine like a pro and is always ready to load up for her next car ride adventure. When it comes to other dogs, Pine Cone is a dream companion. She’s a friendly greeter and enthusiastic player who can hold her own with big dogs or adjust her play style for smaller friends. She’d do best with a medium energy canine buddy, someone who enjoys playtime but also appreciates winding down for a good snuggle session. Got a feline ruler at home? Pine Cone says no problem. She’s met a resident cat and respectfully gave him space, showing all the signs of being a polite roommate for a dog-savvy kitty. As always, we recommend a “sleepover” trial to make sure everyone agrees on the living arrangements. Pine Cone is the ultimate anywhere dog. Thanks to her compact size and polite manners, she’d thrive just as easily in a chic city apartment as she would in a home with a big fenced yard. Her only real requirement? A lap to land in at the end of the day and a family who appreciates her big personality packed into that tiny frame. She’s small enough to travel with you… and spunky enough to keep life exciting wherever you go. If your home and your lap are ready for Pine Cone, she’s ready to meet you! Questions?
