Story
Stella is aprox 12lbs, born Feb-Mar 2018, she is spayed and has had all her shots for this year. Needs dental work but overall healthy. She is used to someone being at home but does use a crate to stay in and does not give us issues with it thus far. She goes out 3-4 times day. She eats Nutro dry food mixed with water. She’s is very playful and chilled inside the home but can let all the birds and squirrels in the neighborhood know that her backyard is hers alone. She love walks and cuddles, we’re not able to do that because of history of dog allergies so our care of her have been limited. She likes to have a towel or blanket to wrap herself in. She’s never had any issues of temperament or being aggressive to anyone. Good with big kids but small kids are rough on her and her tail so we always supervised. She’s an only pet but has shown good behavior with other well behaved dogs. If you have the time and heart to love on her like she deserves Stella welcomes you to have her.

Story
Meet Jojo, a lovable pup with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He is affectionate, curious, and always ready to make you smile with his playful and sometimes goofy nature. Jojo is incredibly friendly and forms strong bonds with his people, making him a loyal companion who will happily stick by your side. He gets along great with other dogs and even cats, making him a wonderful addition to a multi-pet household. Jojo also loves children of all ages and would thrive in a home where he can receive plenty of attention, playtime, and affection. Jojo enjoys spending time outdoors, exploring and taking in the world around him. While he is not fully potty trained yet, he is doing well with crate training and is on the right track with consistency and patience. Jojo is looking for a patient and committed adopter who is willing to help him learn proper house training. With consistency, guidance, and a loving environment, he has all the potential to develop great habits and become a well-mannered companion. If you’re looking for a sweet, fun-loving dog to grow with your family, Jojo might just be the perfect fit! Jojo weighs 13 pounds, is up to date on all his vaccines and is neutered. Jojo tested positive for heartworms when he was first rescued however he has undergone treatment and is ready for adoption. We recommend Jojo be re-tested 6 months after treatment.

Story
Sweet Philip is ready for his second chance at a forever home. Philip first came to us eight years ago from Odessa, Texas, and was adopted—but thanks to the power of a microchip, he recently found his way back to us. While we don’t know what happened, we do know this: he’s ready to put it all behind him and spend his golden years exactly where he belongs—curled up in someone’s lap. This little gentleman is housetrained (with occasional marking) and just had a full dental, so he’s feeling his best and enjoying a wet food diet. Philip can be a bit nervous when meeting new people, but give him a couple of days and he’ll warm up into the sweetest, most loving companion. He’s a smart boy who knows when he’s found a good thing—and he’ll stick close by your side. Philip does well with small dogs and is respectful, not pushy. He’s also great with cats. Large dogs make him uneasy, and he’ll let you know with a bark, so a calmer home without big dogs would suit him best. He’d thrive with someone who is home more often than not, where he can relax and soak up attention. Kids are okay too, as long as they’re gentle and respectful. He’s a simple guy—happy to do his own thing, then hop into your lap for some well-earned love.

Story
Meet Walter—aka “Chocolate Rain” This absolutely precious older super mutt is ready to find his forever home. Walter is house-trained, affectionate, and a loyal little shadow once he trusts you. He rides great in the car, loves small dogs, and will happily follow his person from room to room. Walter does have some firm boundaries. He’s sensitive about his neck and won’t tolerate a collar, so a securely fenced yard is a must—he’s not a candidate for leash walks. He prefers to initiate affection on his own terms and would do best in a calm home with dog-savvy kids 12+ who can respect his space. Give him a soft bed near you, a little patience, and respect for who he is, and Walter will reward you with quiet devotion and companionship. He’s a quirky, lovable old guy looking for someone who gets him. Apply to adopt Walter at www.brasscityrescue.org

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.
