APPLY FOR TIMMY Hi, I’m Timmy! Hi friends! My name is Timmy, and I’m a little Chihuahua/Beagle mix with a really big heart. I’m one of the calmer guys in my family, and honestly, I’m happiest when I’m just hanging out with my people. I LOVE hugs and kisses—if you’re looking for a little cuddle buddy, I think we might be a perfect match. I’m also pretty easygoing. I get along with kids, dogs, and cats, so I’m happy to share my home with just about everyone! My mom and dad are both around 20 pounds, so I should stay a nice, manageable size when I’m all grown up. I’m working hard on my potty training and doing really, really well! I even know “leave it,” which my humans tell me is a very good thing. I’m already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on my age-appropriate vaccines, so all I’m missing now is the most important thing… my forever family. I don’t need anything fancy. Just someone who will love me, cuddle me, let me be part of the family, and never give up on me. In return, I promise to fill your home with kisses, companionship, and lots of love.   Apply at astdogrescue.com/dog-application ♥ Adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and alteration (see more details on our website)  ADOPTION FEE: $663  ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:  Alteration, Microchip, Vaccines APPLICATION: Click here to apply IF YOU HAVE OWNED A PET IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, PLEASE CALL YOUR VET AHEAD OF TIME TO ALLOW RESCUES TO SPEAK TO THEM APPLY FOR TIMMY ##2816019##

Story
APPLY FOR GUCCI  Hi everyone, I’m Gucci!  I may only weigh 5 pounds, but I’d like everyone to know that I am at least 95 pounds. My foster family may disagree, but honestly, I think they’re mistaken. I’m a Chihuahua/Maltese mix, born on June 2, and I have a personality that is WAY bigger than my tiny body! I’m growing up in a foster home where I get to hang out with dogs, kids, and cats, and I love them all! I’m always ready to make a new friend, whether they have two legs or four. I’m also working hard on all my important puppy skills — crate training, housebreaking, and learning my manners. I’m a smart little guy, and I love attention, playing, exploring, and being wherever the action is. And if there happens to be a snack involved? Even better! I’m already microchipped and started on my puppy vaccinations, and I’ll be neutered when I’m old enough. What I’m looking for is a family who will love my big personality, keep up with my puppy antics, and understand that being 5 pounds does NOT make me a small dog. If your home could use a little more laughter, lots of puppy kisses, and one tiny sidekick who fully believes he’s the boss of the neighborhood, I’m ready to report for duty!  Apply at astdogrescue.com/dog-application ♥ Adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and alteration (see more details on our website)  ADOPTION FEE: $663  ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:  Alteration, Microchip, Vaccines APPLICATION: Click here to apply IF YOU HAVE OWNED A PET IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, PLEASE CALL YOUR VET AHEAD OF TIME TO ALLOW RESCUES TO SPEAK TO THEM APPLY FOR GUCCI ##2814875##

APPLY FOR TOMMY Hi everyone! I’m Tommy, a Chihuahua/Beagle mix with a birthday of June 10th, and I’m ready to find my forever family! My mom and dad are both around 20 lbs, so I should grow up to be a nice, manageable size just like them. I’m a pretty social little guy. I get along wonderfully with dogs, cats, and kids, and I’m always ready to make new friends! I’m also the talker of the group—I have lots to say and I’m not shy about sharing my thoughts. I’m curious, playful, and very sweet, and I love having fun with my rope toys. Give me a good toy and some time to explore, and I’m one happy puppy! I’m already neutered, microchipped, and up to date on my age-appropriate vaccines, so I’m all ready to start my next adventure. All I need now is a family who will love my silly personality, listen to my puppy conversations, play with me, and let me be part of the family.   Apply at astdogrescue.com/dog-application ♥ Adoption fee includes age-appropriate vaccines, microchip and alteration (see more details on our website)  ADOPTION FEE: $663  ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:  Alteration, Microchip, Vaccines APPLICATION: Click here to apply IF YOU HAVE OWNED A PET IN THE LAST 10 YEARS, PLEASE CALL YOUR VET AHEAD OF TIME TO ALLOW RESCUES TO SPEAK TO THEM APPLY FOR TOMMY ##2816022##

APPLY FOR TOODLES Hi, I’m Toodles! Don’t let my size fool you—I may be the smallest of the bunch, but I have the biggest personality!  I’m Toodles, a Chihuahua/Beagle mix, born June 10th, and I’m definitely not afraid of much. In fact, I’m pretty sure I’m the bravest little girl around! I was even the first one to master the steps in the house. My siblings were still figuring them out, and I was already like, “Come on, guys… it’s not that hard!”  I’m also learning my housebreaking and doing my best to be a good girl. I already know “leave it,” too! Look at me being all smart and stuff. My mom and dad are both around 20 lbs, so I’m expected to be a similar size when I’m all grown up. But I promise, what I lack in size, I more than make up for in personality! I’m great with cats, dogs, and kids, so I’m ready to bring my fearless little self into just about any loving family. I’m already spayed, microchipped, and up to date on my age-appropriate vaccines, too! I may be the tiniest one, but I have SO much love, confidence, and personality to give. All I need now is a forever family who will keep up with my adventurous spirit and love me for the big personality that I am.

Story
APPLY FOR DOLCE Once upon a time, there was a tiny little dog named Dolce with a very big problem: Nobody had adopted him yet. Which was confusing, because Dolce had already checked just about every box on the “amazing little dog” list. He was born on June 2, he’s a Chihuahua/Maltese mix, and he currently weighs about 9 pounds — although we should probably mention that roughly 90% of those 9 pounds are legs. Dolce did not ask to be built like a miniature runway model, but here we are. The first time we posted him, we thought surely someone would take one look at those ridiculous little stilts, fall in love, and that would be the end of the story. And yet… here he is again. So if you missed Dolce the first time, consider this your second chance. Dolce is the kind of puppy who somehow manages to be both fun and wonderfully easygoing. He plays well with dogs of all sizes, gets along with cats and kids, and then, when the excitement is over, he’s perfectly happy to settle in and relax. At bedtime, Dolce heads into his crate, sleeps through the night, and has no overnight accidents. During the day, he’s starting to understand his potty cues and is catching on quickly. Give this boy a consistent routine and a little patience, and we have a feeling he’ll have the whole thing figured out before long. He’s sweet. He’s social. He’s chill. He’s affectionate. He’s neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. And somehow, despite all of that, Dolce is still waiting for someone to say: “Yep. Those absurdly long little legs belong in my house.” We’re really hoping this is the last time we have to post Dolce looking for a family. Not because we’re tired of talking about him — we could talk about those legs all day — but because the next story we want to tell about Dolce is the one where he finally goes home. So maybe you scrolled past him the first time. Maybe you thought he was cute but kept going. Or maybe you’re seeing him now for the very first time. Either way, Dolce is still here, waiting for the person who turns this little adoption story into a happily ever after.

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.
