Story
Meet Smudge! ❤️ Smudge is a 10-month-old, 25 lb. Chihuahua Terrier mix with a gentle heart and a playful spirit. She’s looking for a patient, loving home where she can continue to grow into the confident little dog we know she’s capable of becoming. Smudge can be a little anxious, jumpy, and timid around new people, but with time, patience, and a predictable routine, she continues to come out of her shell. Once she trusts you and chooses you as her person, she’ll be your most loyal little shadow, happily following you wherever you go. Smudge does best with medium to large, friendly dogs and would enjoy having a confident canine companion to help her feel secure. She is looking for a cat-free home and would do best with children ages 9 and older who can be patient, respectful of her space, and allow her to build trust at her own pace. She’s still a puppy at heart and loves to play, but she will thrive in a calm, supportive home where she can settle in and continue gaining confidence. Watching Smudge blossom and learn to trust is incredibly rewarding, and she’ll make a wonderful companion for someone willing to give her the time, patience, and understanding she deserves. If you’re looking for a sweet, loyal little dog who just needs a chance to shine, Smudge might be the perfect addition to your family. Smudge's adoption fee is $295, and she is spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. Come meet Smudge today!

Story
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)

Story
These adorable Chihuahua/Cattle Dog mix puppies got a rough start after being found living under a house in a rural Texas town. Thankfully, those days are behind them, and now they're safe, healthy, and ready to find the loving families they deserve. Their mama weighs about 22 pounds, and while we don't know who dad was, we expect these pups to stay under 25 pounds when fully grown. These little ones are happy, playful, and full of personality! They love to romp around the yard, wrestle with their siblings, and soak up all the attention they can get. Whether they're exploring, playing with toys, or snuggling up after an adventure, they're always ready to bring smiles wherever they go. If you're looking for a fun-loving, affectionate companion to share life's adventures with, one of these sweet puppies could be the perfect addition to your family!

Story
Rocky is available through Project POOCH. If you are interested in adoption, learn more and submit an application at pooch.org/adoptable-dogs This dapper young man is quite the gentleman and loves to be greeted each morning. He asks that you come to him and crouch down so that he might say hi. He loves playing, he will bring you his stuffies to tug with, or even throw for a round of fetch. But most of all, he loves you! Rocky is the kind of dog who just wants be involved. He would love to be your little shadow and a part of your life. Whether that is playing tug, romping in the hard, or binge watching The Office for the umpteenth time, Rocky is down to be your buddy. Rocky came to Project POOCH with his littermate, Bullwinkle. While they were originally considered to be a bonded pair, we have seen both dogs shine with some solo time and they've really enjoyed not being lumped in with the other. While they might do good in a home with space for them each to be their own, they have been flying solo at POOCH and blossoming into their own dogs. Interested in meeting Rocky?

Story
Asphalt is available through Project POOCH—learn more at pooch.org/asphalt Asphalt is an adventurous little guy! Don't be the one to try to tell him that little dogs don't do big dog things. He is always eager to join the guys on the walks, is a blast to train, and believes in balancing his work with equal enthusiasm for play. At only 6 lbs, Asphalt rewrites expectations that small dogs are only purse dogs. He joins in on the walks and is a good partner to strut with. The youth are perfecting his leash manners, and he continues to learn more each day. He is, however, still very much ok with being catered to when the time is right. (He even trained some of the youth to wear the sling during chore time so he could stick right by them.) Due to his small stature, Asphalt is looking for an adopter who will respect his autonomy and get consent before attempting to pick him up or leash him. He needs someone who will give him time to warm up and get comfortable in his new environment. If you are willing to do that, he will be your best friend! If you're looking for a pint-sized dog to show up big dogs in the trick department, Asphalt could be a great fit for you. He is incredibly treat-motivated and learns quickly. He's been working on adding to his trick list while at POOCH and would love to show them off to you! Because of his small size and his desire for humans to move slowly with him, a home with small children would not be a good fit. Asphalt is available through Project POOCH—learn more at pooch.org
