Story
Spots! Spots and more Spots!! When I first came to the animal control place, I was covered with spots! And to make matters worse, my mom and sisters were covered with spots too! I guess we all had the same thing, but I didn’t think that we were that scary that people wouldn’t want to touch us or anything! Then we came into the God’s Dogs and started getting treatment for ringworms, which isn’t’ really worms but a fungal infection on our skin due to our previously poor living conditions. We are still taking a pill and getting baths for our skin, but we shouldn’t be contagious anymore. So, we have been here for 3 weeks now, and our spots are getting smaller, and our hair is coming in nicely. We still don’t have a super full coat, but it is getting there, but what we lack in hair cover, we make up for in personality! I am a happy girl and love to play! I am the smallest of the sisters and am the quickest, I think! Anyhow, I love to play with toys and try to sneak them away from the siblings. My spots are slowing going away and they don’t itch or anything. So, there is no need to be afraid of my spots. I am a chihuahua dachshund mix I believe, and I have mom’s curly puggy tail too so there has to be some pug in our background somewhere. We don’t know dad, so our breed is only a guess. I am already fixed and my weight on 5.5.25 was only 4#10, so I will be on the small side. But good things come in little packages, right? I am over 3 months old now and would like to find myself a permanent home soon! Will it be with you? $250 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $500 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.

So, there is no need to be afraid of my spots. I am a happy girl and love to play! I am the middle size of the sisters and am the one with the straight tail. Not sure how that happened. But it doesn’t bother me much anyhow as I don’t look at it that much. I love to play with toys and run. I love to run and bounce around. It is a fun game to play with my siblings, especially keeping away with toys. I am a chihuahua dachshund mix foster mom thinks and since we don’t know anything about our dad, our breed is only a guess. But I have these huge radar ears, that I can hear every time you open the refrigerator door. I am already fixed and my weight on 5.5.25 was only 5 pounds, so I will be on the small side.

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 5 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
Ready for a new friend? Meet Honey! Honey is a sweet dog, just like her name she is oozing with affection and love. She is a very medium/small sized beagle/chi mix, she is housebroken and likes to let people know when she needs to go out by pawing at your legs. Loves to cuddle with you, she can be a velcro dog sometimes and will make your couch her permanent home!. Honey doesn't like to share her affection with others and is adoptable into a single dog/animal home. She does tolerate the foster mom's kitties but honestly she would really love to be the center of someone's life. She has MORE than enough love and devotion to fill your heart every day. She is crate trained. She loves to sleep in the bed too! If you are looking for the yin to your yang, the bread to your jam or the pup to your life... HONEY is the ONE!!!! 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)
