Story
Tammy, Tessa and Tex are 3 gorgeous chi mix pups that are approximately 15-17 weeks old and weigh around 6-7 lbs. While we do not know their parents, we estimate they will be no bigger than 12-13 lbs once full grown. Tammy and Tessa are both female and Tex is a male, they are all siblings. They were found along the Texas/Mexico border – no parents in sight. They were starving, dehydrated and fighting just to live day to day. Now these babies are safe, well fed and loving life. They are happy little rugrats that love other dogs and would thrive in a home with or without other dogs in it. Their current home does have doggies, and they love playing with them. Given these babies’ background, they can be a little shy, but it doesn’t take long for them to come around and come out of their shell. They have met kitties and they are more scared of cats than anything else. They love to play but also love to sleep and they are learning cuddling is a wonderful thing. Tex, Tammy and Tessa would do great with children 5+ as they are very small and can be timid at first, but once they are comfortable, they are little energizer bunnies that keep going and going. These babies are current on bordatella (kennel cough), parvo/distemper boosters, rabies vaccine, dewormed, microchipped, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, and will receive a negative fecal test and a clean bill of health prior to adoption. To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org PLEASE NOTE: This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals out in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We do adopt in Central US and the East Coast. The adoption fee listed ($595) INCLUDES transport from Texas to the location where this animal is posted in. Transport goes to the following locations every 2-3 weeks Albany, NY Wells and Brattleboro, VT Willington, Enfield, New Haven and Dayville, CT Port Chester, NY Dayon and Akron, OH Grove City and Bloomsburg, PA Ridgefield and Mt Laurel, NJ White Marsh, Elkton and Falls Church, MD We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is best fit for your home.

Story
Abandoned with a Broken Heart:(Literally, this sweet but confused senior was brought to animal control and never claimed. He doesn't hear or see too well but bonds quickly and is a sweet sensitive boy who loves short walks and attention. His medical work-up revealed a heart murmur and significant heart disease- he's not in heart failure just yet but getting there. He's on 3 medications longterm to hopefully keep that from happening for as long as possible, but we don't know how long that will be. We are hoping to find him a quiet home in which to retire and enjoy whatever quality time he has. He's not too fond of other dogs and would probably prefer to be an only pet or have his own separate area away from others. Please submit an application to meet Tyler Primary Color: Tan Age: 12yrs 8mths 3wks

Sweet Pea's Woof Facts:Meet Sweet Pea - an 11-year-old distinguished lady looking for a peaceful retirement home. Fully house and crate trained.IDEAL HOME: Quiet environment with patient, experienced dog owners Fenced yard for independent exploration No small childrenShe’s not looking for a cuddle buddy, she’s looking for real estate. Preferably with a fenced yard, minimal chaos, and zero sticky-fingered toddlers. Her vibe? Think “grandma who likes her tea hot, her routine respected, and her porch undisturbed.” House & crate trained (because she’s a lady)  Enjoys independent yard strolls  No kids, no nonsense, no needy humans She’s not reactive – she’s selectively enthusiastic. If you speak fluent dog body language and don’t take it personally when she walks away mid-pat, you might just be her person. Her perfect match will be someone who: Appreciates a dog who doesn't demand constant attention Can provide consistent routine and boundaries Values giving her space when she signals she needs itREQUIREMENTS: Fenced yard No young children Dog-savvy home Patient and understanding ownerMay 9, 2026, 1:16 am
