Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Nessie! Nessie was found as a stray with her one puppy, and now she's ready for a loving home of her own. This sweet girl is full of smiles, happy tail wags, excited little hops, and plenty of kisses for everyone she meets. Nessie has a calm, easygoing personality and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. She loves being close to her people and is happiest curled up in a lap soaking up attention.  We are unsure how Nessie does with cats or children, but her gentle demeanor suggests she may fit well into many homes. She currently uses a doggy door, though her potty-training status is unknown. Nessie is spayed, microchipped, 4DX negative, and current on Bravecto and ProHeart 12. Her adoption fee is $400. Apply to adopt at www.adoggie4you.org. Nessie is located in Texas, but transport is available to Washington, Portland (OR), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington (KY), and along the East Coast for an additional $250 transport fee.

Since moving into a loving foster home, Sanders has been thriving and learning what it means to be a happy, confident dog in a safe environment.

Story
Greetings, Muggles! My name is Sphynxee, but around here they sometimes call me Dobby's long-lost cousin because of my adorable oversized ears. Seriously, if you've ever wanted your very own house elf, I might be the next best thing! My foster family believes I spent most of my life outdoors, so the magical world of living inside a house has been a brand-new adventure. At first, things like couches, crates, and all the strange human routines seemed as mysterious as the Room of Requirement. But I'm a clever witch-in-training and have been learning quickly! I've already mastered my crate, walk beautifully on a leash, and absolutely love exploring every corner of my kingdom. I'm still studying advanced spells like potty training and figuring out which treasures are acceptable chew toys and which ones belong to my humans. Progress, not perfection! One thing is certain: I've fully embraced my inner princess. These days you'll find me proudly strutting through the house, ears bouncing, following my favorite people from room to room to make sure no magical adventures happen without me. I get along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and am great with kids too. Whether it's joining the pack for playtime or soaking up attention from my humans, I'm happiest when surrounded by friends. When I first arrived, I had some hair loss that made me look a little less magical than I felt, but after treatment my beautiful coat is growing back nicely. Every day I become a little more fabulous—and trust me, I know it. So if you're looking for a sweet, loyal companion with Dobby ears, princess energy, and a heart full of love, wave your wand and say the magic words: "Sphynxee, you're home." 🏰✨🐾 Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Cedric! This adorable Chihuahua/Beagle mix puppy, born around 3/11/2026 and fully convinced life is one big party. This little one came into rescue with six siblings after they landed at a city shelter and sadly ended up on the euthanasia list while still just babies. Thankfully, rescue stepped in and now they’re safe, happy, and ready for forever homes. This pup has all the typical puppy energy — playful, curious, always excited, and constantly looking for the next toy to carry around. Shy is definitely not part of the personality here. They love everyone they meet and are always ready to make a new friend. Like any young puppy, they’ll need continued training including housebreaking, crate training, leash walking, and basic manners as they grow up. This puppy is fixed, current on vaccines, microchipped, and current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. Adoption fee is $400. To apply, please visit www.adoggie4you.org Currently in Texas but can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, KY, and locations along the East Coast for an additional $225 transport fee. We are unable to transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state regulations.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 12, 2026, 6:46 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi there! My name is Bonnie, and I’m one of the Mother’s Day save babies. I was born on 03/21/2018, and before rescue, I found myself wandering the streets all alone until a kind family found me and kept me safe while they searched for help.  I’m a sweet Chihuahua mix girl with a gentle soul. I get along well with other dogs and enjoy a quiet, peaceful life. I do still like to play with toys and my doggie friends from time to time, but since I’m a more mature lady now, I much prefer cozy naps and relaxing by your side. I’m the kind of companion who will happily keep you company without demanding too much. I am spayed, vaccinated, 4DX negative, current on ProHeart 12, and protected with Bravecto, so I’m all ready for my forever home! My adoption fee is $250. If you think we might be the perfect match, you can apply for me through A Doggie 4 You. I’m currently in Texas, but I can travel to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington, Kentucky, and along the East Coast. If I need transportation, there is an additional $225 transport fee. (Unfortunately, I cannot travel to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state regulations.)Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 12, 2026, 6:46 pm
