Story
Sometimes a name just fits, and Precious is definitely one of those dogs. At 10 years young, she's a sweet, gentle, low-energy girl who can be timid at first, but give her a little time and her affectionate personality begins to shine. Precious gets along wonderfully with other dogs and has settled right into her foster pack (3 large dogs and 2 other chihuahuas) she's even starting to play a little! She loves being near her person—curling up beside her foster mom while she works or occasionally deciding they should share the office chair. She enjoys cuddles but is also perfectly content relaxing on her own. Once Precious bonds with you, she becomes your little lookout and will alert you when she hears something unfamiliar. She's shy with new visitors and just needs a little time to warm up. She's crate trained, walks well and has the cutest little prance. She gets around great and even uses a stool to hop onto the bed. Precious is also discovering TREATS—and she's a big fan! She's got quite the nose for people food, too. One exception: peanut butter is unacceptable. Precious has standards. She's still working on potty training and will let you know when she needs a nighttime potty break. She has no known pre-existing medical conditions. Precious may be 10, but she's still discovering new things and showing us more of her personality every day. She's looking for a patient, loving home where she can enjoy plenty of cozy spots, treats (hold the peanut butter!) and companionship. Sweet, gentle and just a little shy—that's our Precious.

Meet Penny! This sweet girl may be a little shy at first, but once she gets to know you, her personality really starts to shine! Once she feels comfortable, she’ll happily share her thoughts and get a little vocal to let you know she’s there. She’s wonderful with other dogs and does well around cats, too! Her biggest wish is to make friends with absolutely everyone and turn every introduction into a playdate. With a little patience, love, and time to warm up, you’ll discover a playful, loving girl who just wants to be part of the fun. Penny is crate trained, working on leash training and is pretty well about going potty outside but still may have accidents. Penny ids also VERY food motivated! Could you be the one to help her come out of her shell and show her what forever love feels like? Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hi, My name is Charlie. I am the cutest LOWRIDER. I was born on a cold day in January. I had 11 siblings, but my mom couldn’t feed us all. I was taken in by my foster mom when I was just two days old. I was so small. Now I’m a big boy! Ok, I may be small in size, but I have a big personality! I’m not yappy like a lot of small dogs so I won’t disturb your neighbors. I love playing with other dogs. I also like to play outside where I can chase bugs and play with leaves and sticks. I love chew toys like my Nylabone. I also like tug and crinkle toys. I’m crate trained and do okay in a crate, but I prefer to be with my people. Ever since I learned to go potty outside, I’ve had the run of the house and I even get to sleep in bed with my foster mom and dad. Did I mention I loooove food? I’ll show you some cool spin moves when you bring my meals. I also know how to sit patiently and wait my turn for treats. I’m new to walking on a leash, but I’ve been doing really well. I ride really well in the car and would love to be your co-pilot and best friend. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I’m a great kisser 😉 Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Peanut has a big dog personality and if he sees other dogs, he gets super excited, and the yipping sounds scary, but he just wants to play!! He's a nipper and he likes to jump on you out of excitement and although he LOVES kids, he should be in.a home with older kids Peanut is still young, and has plenty of energy to play and run.He has been known to be a runner- He will take off and think, it's a GAME and it will be hard to catch him, so careful at the doors nd fences ;) But smart sweet pup loves kisses and lay on your lap . He walks good on a leash i put 2 one on harness and collar since I don't want him to get loose. (harnesses are too easy to get out of, so a martingale collar is his best collar) He can upset a bigger or smaller dog if they don't have a tolerance for nippiness.In the face kinda of thing he loved to play and he runs super fast lol 😆 they would have to be extra careful that he never gets out of front.Door or takes off he laughing fast 😅 Poor little guy almost got run over on these big streets all alone, and we NEVER want that to happen to him again. So now you know more about the firecracker named Peanut. He is a doll!! ADOPT....DON'T SHOP!! Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Name: Peabody Age: ‘ bout 2 Weight: 16 lbs of attitude and assertive love…( he forces hugs on you) Are you an adrenaline junkie? Like to jump outta planes… take brisk 10 mile runs at 5 am? Is your life too quiet? So if anyone’s down for a new exercise buddy that will wake you and all your neighbors up at 5:00 am singing the songs of his ancestors and ready for a muggy 10 mile run before you even brush your teeth…have I got the dog for you….meet Peabody…16 lbs of chaos, zoomies and Jack Russel terrier energy. He is great with all the dogs and cats. Kids? …meh, I’d not trust him with any of the ones you like and men… super judgmental, but totally willing to take a bribe. Does your insurance company not cover the Ozempic? Here you go! He is a cheap way to melt the pounds away!! Apply now with God’s Dogs. Peabody is a typical 16 lb , 2 yr old Jack Russel terrier mix with all of the energy. He is super loving and does eventually chill. He is in San Antonio TX, and can't wait to meet you.....really....he is READY!! Local adopt fee is 300.00 (in TX))

Story
Meet Tex Just over SIX pounds of pure tail-wagging happiness packed into one tiny, adorable package! This little guy is a professional snuggler who loves nothing more than wrapping himself around your neck and soaking up all the love. If you’re looking for a shadow, Tex is your guy! He’ll happily follow you everywhere and make sure you never have to do anything alone. Tex is still a puppy, so he's working on his potty-training skills. He can be a little shy or skittish when meeting new people or when things move too quickly, but once he feels comfortable, his friendly, attention-loving personality shines! He's great with dogs of all sizes and does well with cats, too. Tex came into rescue with some skin issues, but he's on the road to recovery and feeling better every day. He's believed to be a Chug (Chihuahua/Pug mix), although he seems to have inherited more of the Chihuahua body style. He's expected to stay a pretty little guy! If you have room in your heart and a spot around your neck for a professional cuddle buddy, Tex is ready to wrap himself right around you! Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Brock!This little guy is looking for a patient, understanding home where he can settle in at his own pace. He can be wary of new people and may need a few meet-and-greets before he feels comfortable, but once you`ve earned his trust, you`ll gain a loyal companion.He`ll do best in a quiet home with older teenage children who understand and respect his boundaries or a home without children. A secure fenced yard is required since he isn`t comfortable walking on a leash yet. He`s not fully potty trained but does well with potty pads. He can continue learning those skills with a consistent routine.We`re not aware of how he responds to dogs outside of the dogs he has previously lived with, so any introductions to resident pets should be done slowly and thoughtfully.If you`re willing to give him the time, patience, and space he needs to feel safe, this sweet Chihuahua is ready to find the forever family he`s been waiting for.
