Story
🍑 Peaches & Cream 🍦 Some dogs arrive at rescue knowing exactly how to be part of a family. Peaches & Cream arrived needing to learn what that even meant. We believe this sweet girl may have spent most, if not all, of her life outdoors before coming to rescue. The world inside a home was completely new to her—things like toys, cozy beds, house rules, and even having people who loved her unconditionally. Since then, Peaches & Cream has absolutely blossomed in her foster home. She has discovered that being loved is pretty wonderful and has become a sweet, talkative little companion who wants to be wherever her people are. If you get up, she's likely getting up too! This girl loves to follow her humans around and happily serve as their loyal shadow. Peaches & Cream can be a little shy when meeting new people, but with patience and kindness, she quickly starts to show her affectionate personality. Having another confident dog in the home helps her feel secure, so she would do best with a canine buddy to show her the ropes. She is great with other dogs and does well with kids. As she's learning how to be an indoor dog, she's still working on potty training and figuring out which items are toys and which are definitely not for chewing. She's making progress every day and just needs a family willing to continue teaching her. When Peaches & Cream first arrived, she had some areas of hair loss that suggested she hadn't had the easiest start in life. With proper care and treatment, her beautiful coat is growing back nicely, and so is her confidence. If you're looking for a gentle, loving companion who will follow you from room to room and reward your patience with endless devotion, Peaches & Cream may be the perfect addition to your family. Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Greetings, Muggles! My name is Sphynxee, but around here they sometimes call me Dobby's long-lost cousin because of my adorable oversized ears. Seriously, if you've ever wanted your very own house elf, I might be the next best thing! My foster family believes I spent most of my life outdoors, so the magical world of living inside a house has been a brand-new adventure. At first, things like couches, crates, and all the strange human routines seemed as mysterious as the Room of Requirement. But I'm a clever witch-in-training and have been learning quickly! I've already mastered my crate, walk beautifully on a leash, and absolutely love exploring every corner of my kingdom. I'm still studying advanced spells like potty training and figuring out which treasures are acceptable chew toys and which ones belong to my humans. Progress, not perfection! One thing is certain: I've fully embraced my inner princess. These days you'll find me proudly strutting through the house, ears bouncing, following my favorite people from room to room to make sure no magical adventures happen without me. I get along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and am great with kids too. Whether it's joining the pack for playtime or soaking up attention from my humans, I'm happiest when surrounded by friends. When I first arrived, I had some hair loss that made me look a little less magical than I felt, but after treatment my beautiful coat is growing back nicely. Every day I become a little more fabulous—and trust me, I know it. So if you're looking for a sweet, loyal companion with Dobby ears, princess energy, and a heart full of love, wave your wand and say the magic words: "Sphynxee, you're home." 🏰✨🐾 Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
FOSTERED IN SIOUX CITY Name - Charlie neutered male Age - 3 years Breed - Chihuahua What was your life before NDCB - I came from a home where I was a pampered boy but my owner could no longer keep me. Who is your main caretaker/favorite person now? My favorite person is my foster mom so far. I do very well meeting new people in public and enjoy the attention. Are you good with kids? Yes. What ages? 5 and up. Are you good with other dogs? I get along with my foster sibling fine, and the other fosters that have been here. I do like to play with other dogs that I have spent time with. There are 2 kitties here also and I don't really like them, but their food is really tempting and I've been caught on the table a couple of times sneaking some bites of it! Are you house broken? Working on it with regular trips outside. I will sneak off to poop on the floor if you don't keep an eye on me. I get distracted playing in the yard and forget to do my business out there. What is your potty routine? My foster mom keeps a close eye on me and takes me out every couple of hours. I wear a belly band in the house. Do you like car rides? Yes, take me with you! I love going to the store! Do you like walks? Yes Do you like toys? Yes, I love the soft plushies! Do you know any commands or tricks? I'll sit for a treat! 😃 How are your house manners? I love attention and belly rubs! I'm allowed on the furniture and I love to nap. I sleep in the bed with foster mom, kennels aren't really my thing. I'm a Chihuahua, so really I'm the boss 😎 😉 Describe your personality - I love people, but am also an independent guy. I will guard the house and yard from strange people, squirrels, and stray birds. If I think the cat is too close I'll chase them away! I love sniffing around, chewing on sticks, guarding the fence line, chasing bugs, all the great doggy stuff! Living with a cat is not a good idea, but I like other dogs! If you introduce me to a new person that's coming into the home, it should be outside and we walk in the house together, that way I know you want them there and I won't bark at them while they are here. My perfect home would be with someone who will love me no matter what and provide the luxury and pampering I deserve. I'll pay you back with kisses and snuggles! If there is another dog I can play with that's about my size, that would be great also! I was just neutered and had a full dental (I did lose some teef) so I am ready to go!

Story
Meet Faith! Faith is an approximately 7 month old Chihuahua/Terrier mix (best guess) with a sweet and gentle personality. She is expected to stay on the smaller side, likely under 25 pounds fully grown based on her current age and weight. Faith is friendly with kids and other dogs and is already house trained using a doggy door. She can be a little shy when meeting new people and may take a little extra time to warm up, especially in busy environments, but once she feels safe, she is the sweetest little companion. Faith is more reserved in nature and happiest simply sitting quietly near you on the couch rather than being in your lap. She has a calm, gentle presence and would thrive in a loving home that will give her patience, reassurance, and time to build confidence. Faith will be spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventions prior to adoption. $250 Local Adoption Fee (in Texas) $550 Out of State Fee (includes transport to your area)
