Story
Twinkle’s story is as heartbreaking as it is inspiring. She came to us after someone claimed to have “found” her wrapped in a soiled diaper. But after a little digging, we discovered the truth—it was actually her owner who had abandoned her under false pretenses. Even more devastating, she had posted online about Twinkle’s injury but waited too long to get her proper care. By the time she came into our care, it was too late for surgery. Despite that neglect, Twinkle has held onto her spirit. She has hind leg paresis, meaning she has partial mobility—not full paralysis. And while surgery was no longer an option, she’s made incredible strides through supplements and alternative therapies like acupuncture, electromagnetic treatment, massage, and physical therapy. She’s showing steady, meaningful progress. She does need her bladder and bowels expressed 3–4 times a day, but she’s a total champ about it—cooperative, patient, and even helps by posturing. The process takes just a couple of minutes. ? More about Twinkle: • Resilient, loving, and full of personality • Great eater and enjoys all the things mobile dogs do • Gets along well with other respectful animals • Best with older, calm kids (10+) • No other health concerns Twinkle is about 5-6 years old, She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm and tick borne diseases. Twinkle needs a special adopter—someone experienced or willing to learn about special needs care, with the time and dedication to help her thrive. She’s been let down before, but she hasn’t let it define her. She’s ready to love and be loved in a home that truly sees her. If you’re that kind of person, Twinkle is ready to be your shining light.

Story
Meet Drake, he is an amazing 3 year old Jack Russell terrier/chihuahua mix. He was adopted as a pup and simply adored, heartbreaking his dad passed away suddenly and he found himself in need of a new home. He has been doing great in foster care and can’t wait to have a family to call his own again. Drake gets along great with other dogs, is good with children and LOVES to go for car rides. Drake is à lap dog, his favorite thing is to fall asleep on your lap, or your shoulder, he follows you wherever you go and wants to have a best friend again. He’s a funny lil guy who loves to walk around on his back legs, perch on the back of the couch and jump in the air with joy. Drake would do best in a calmer home where he gets lots of love and attention, which he will give back ten fold. Drake is hw ( heartworm) negative, fully vetted, spayed/neutered and microchipped.

Story
Welcome Missy to CCPAL Rescue Foster program. Missy Gorda is a 2 -year- old Chug (Pug/Chihuahua). She weighs about 13 pounds and appears to be a good weight. She has the Pug body and is thick in the middle. She is very playful with toys. She is in a foster home with a large dog and Minnie and she does good with both. She isn’t a big shedder. She isn’t too vocal which is nice. She can use the doggy door and goes outside to do her business. She came from a hoarding situation and probably hasn’t been held much. She is a little nervous being held and has a bit of a stiff body. She loves her crate and will go to it when she is scared. The crate makes her feel safe. She is a wonderful little dog. She is really doing great in her foster home. We think the best home for Missy is a home with a partially or fully retired person or someone who has a quieter home. She would be great with someone that is more to themselves and doesn’t have a houseful of people everyday. She is a nice dog and when she is afraid she will retreat to her crate. She is getting lots of attention in her foster home and is doing great. She wouldn’t require a huge yard but a fenced one would be best for this girl. She can go with children. We like them to be 8 or older. She is currently in Texas in foster care. She is getting her vaccinations and will be spayed soon. She can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org See her cute video!!

Big heart. Lifetime of love to give. Little Brother is a 6-year-old male Chihuahua, weighing about 10 lbs, and he’s the kind of dog who quietly works his way right into your heart. He gets along great with other dogs and has a gentle, friendly nature that makes him an easy companion. When you first meet him, Little Brother may take a moment to check things out — but that doesn’t last long. He warms up quickly and soon becomes sweet, engaging, and affectionate, happy to be near his people and included in whatever’s going on. He’s the perfect mix of calm and charming, with just enough personality to keep you smiling. A special bond: Little Brother has spent the last 5 years living with his best friend, Chocolate Donut. They don’t have to be adopted together, but it would be truly wonderful if they could stay side by side. They bring comfort and familiarity to one another and clearly share a deep bond. Little Brother would do beautifully in a home looking for a loving, low-key companion — whether that’s a quiet lap to curl up in, a cozy couch to relax on, or a house with other friendly dogs. If you’re ready to welcome a loyal little soul into your life (or maybe even two!), Little Brother is ready to meet you. Adoption application: www.wtfarmtn.org

Her world has been completely turned upside down, and right now she is terrified, confused, and unsure of who she can trust. But underneath all that fear is a tiny heart that desperately wants to feel safe. Coco isn’t the dog you push or rush—she’s the dog you sit beside, quietly, patiently, with love and kindness. With someone who understands her pace and respects her boundaries, this little girl will begin to bloom. What Coco needs: * A calm home * Someone patient and consistent * A soft voice, gentle hands, and time to decompress * A person who knows that trust is earned slowly—and beautifully With love, stability, and a patient human by her side, Coco will flourish into the adorable Velcro dog she’s meant to be… the kind who follows her person everywhere with loyalty and affection.
