Story
PIPPA UPDATE: Pippa loves toys and loves to play. Content to play by herself or with other small dogs. She is scared of large dogs. House broken and crate trained. She table surfs, will steal your schrunchie in a minute, so she is crated when we are out of the house. We have established a routine for being picked up that is working which causes less stress for her. She rides well in her car seat but has to be buckled in to prevent her from roaming the car. —————————————————————— Pippa came into rescue as a stray. She has been traumatized at some point and takes a bit to warm up but once she does, she is such a sweet cuddle bug. Her main issue is when you try to pick her up, she rolls on her back, screams and pees. She is going to need a very quiet home with a lot of patience to help her be her best self. If you have time and patience then she will come around and be the best pup ever. She is very treat motivated! Her adoption fee is $300.00 (plus 6% KY sales tax)

Shrimp — a little gentleman with a big heart, weighing in at just 8 lbs. This 10-year-old Chihuahua–Maltese mix we think, is as sweet as they come. Shrimp is a gentle, happy boy who loves nothing more than being close to his person. He’ll happily follow you from room to room, just to make sure you don’t get lost without him. Even though he doesn’t have any teeth, Shrimp is a true foodie at heart — mealtime is his favorite time! He’s crate trained and sleeps well, though sometimes he can’t quite make it through the night, so he wears a diaper just to be safe. House training is still a work in progress, but he’s learning. If you’re looking for a loyal little shadow who will fill your days with love and quiet companionship, Shrimp is ready to wiggle right into your heart. Local Only adoption fee is $200(in TX)

Story
Meet Spice Spice is a sweet baby girl with a big personality packed into a tiny body. She doesn’t quite realize how little she is — she carries herself like a confident big girl — but when she’s scooped up, her soft, cuddly side comes out immediately. She adores affection and will happily melt into your arms, gazing up at you with those classic puppy-dog eyes that are impossible to resist. Spice loves playing with other pups and does great in social settings. One bonus? She’s a slow eater, so no messy, frantic mealtimes here. She’s currently working on potty training and is already doing really well for her age. New toys are her absolute favorite — she gets so excited and curious, which is adorable to watch. Spice is looking for a loving home where she can grow, play, and be cherished. If you’re looking for a puppy with confidence, sweetness, and endless charm, Spice might be your perfect match. 💕 Local adoption fee is $350 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

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)
