Story
Baby Bat embodies the personality, uniqueness and likeness of the Batman. First, he works alone. No sidekicks or partners. He prefers solitude and his space. Baby Bat has lived with his foster and her dog pack for 7 years, he gets along with them but tolerates them at most. He would do well in a home where he is the only dog, no children, and adults only. Next, Baby Bat is an apex predator. Which means he needs his sleep and food and not to be interrupted or coddled when given either. Baby Bat is not a lap or cuddly dog. Finally, did we mention Baby Bat is a Chihuahua mix? That's a really important detail! Baby Bat is a great and loyal dog seeking a great family to adopt him! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
Meet Ruby! This sweet young lady is everything wrapped up in one adorable little package. Ruby was rescued from a hoarding situation where she lived with many dogs in a small apartment with very little human interaction. Because of that, the world is still new to her — but she’s learning every day that it can be a safe and happy place. Ruby bonds easily with other dogs and truly thrives with canine companionship. She looks to other dogs for comfort and guidance, and meeting new dog friends is her absolute favorite thing! A confident, friendly dog in her forever home would help her continue to blossom. If you’re looking for a dog who instantly bonds with people, Ruby may not be your girl just yet. She needs a patient, loving, and understanding home that will give her the time and space to build trust at her own pace. Once she feels safe, you’ll see her sweet and silly personality shine. Ruby may be slow to trust, but she’s incredibly observant and learns quickly. From chasing her own shadow to hopping up on her hind legs to catch a moth, her goofy curiosity and innocent spirit will absolutely melt your heart. With patience, love, and a cozy spot to curl up at night, Ruby will grow into the most loyal and devoted companion. Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
🐶 Kitty looking for her forever homeKitty is a 1-year-old Chihuahua/Pug mix (13 lbs, small size).She is very friendly and loving, but can be a little territorial at times, so she needs someone patient who understands dogs.She would do best in a house (preferably with a yard), not a small space. She has a lot of energy and loves to:
✨ play
✨ run
✨ go on walks
✨ be around peopleShe came from a situation where she was crated most of the day, which caused some anxiety, but she has been improving a lot with routine and exercise.She may do best as the only dog.✔️ Good with kids
❓ Not sure about cats✔️ Not spayed
✔️ Potty trained (goes outside)
✔️ Up to date on vaccinations💛 I made the difficult decision to rehome her because I am currently in college and working full-time, and I’m not able to give her the time and attention she truly deserves.💲 A small rehoming fee is asked to help cover vaccines.
