Story
**Meet Maple! 🍁🐾** Small in stature, big on sweetness, and sporting the most irresistible little face, Maple is ready to find a family to call her own! Maple is a young, Dachshund-type mix who came to SDBP CT Rescue after being found as a stray and going unclaimed at Animal Control. She became our very first official Animal Control pull, and this little girl has already stolen quite a few hearts! Maple is an incredibly sweet and gentle girl, but she can be shy and timid when meeting new people or encountering unfamiliar situations. Once she begins to feel comfortable and realizes she's safe, her affectionate personality starts to shine through. She's the kind of dog who needs someone willing to earn her trust rather than rush her into situations she isn't quite ready for. **🍁 What we've learned about Maple so far:** Maple seems to enjoy the company of calmer dogs who respect her personal space. She can become uncomfortable when overly energetic or pushy dogs approach her too quickly, so any potential canine siblings would need to be thoughtfully matched and introduced at her pace. She's currently settling into her foster home, where we're continuing to learn more about her personality, preferences, and what makes her feel comfortable. **🏡 Maple's ideal forever home** We're looking for a patient, loving family who understands that building trust takes time. A relatively calm, predictable environment where Maple can settle in, establish a routine, and gain confidence would be wonderful for her. She may do well with another calm, respectful dog, but she could also enjoy being someone's one-and-only little companion. Her compatibility with cats and young children has not yet been established. Most importantly, Maple needs someone who will appreciate her for exactly who she is and give her the time and reassurance she needs to blossom. **❤️ Adoption information** Maple is currently completing her veterinary care and will be spayed before adoption. We are accepting applications now and carefully reviewing potential homes to find the best possible match. If you're looking for a sweet little companion and have the patience to help a shy dog discover just how wonderful life can be, Maple might be your girl! **Interested in adopting Maple?** Submit an adoption application through SDBP CT Rescue or contact us at [sdbpctrescue@gmail.com](mailto:sdbpctrescue@gmail.com). *Here for the Cause. Here for the Dogs.* 🐾

Story
Welcome Maverick to CCPAL Foster Program. Maverick is a 4-year-old Chiweenie. He weighs about 19 pounds. He is good on a leash, good in a car. He is potty trained and very loyal to his person. He knows “go for a walk”, “stop”, “leave it”, “It’s the neighbor” and a few other commands. He is in a home and the owner is having some very big financial issues and need to find Maverick a new home. Maverick has some allergies to food and the food that he can is a Duck and Potato kibble. He has some allergies to grass. He has take Apoquel successfully to handle the allergies. He warms up slowly and is very loyal and bonded once he has bonded. He would be great for a senior couple or single wanting a companion. A nice yard for him to get exercise in would be nice or someone that could have the time to take him on a couple of walks would be great. He isn’t the social butterfly that some dogs are so a matching owner would be the best fit. He would be a great dog to alert you to someone at the door or something being off in the environment. He is good on walks and would help a senior be more active. He is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. He could go with children but we would like them to be teens. I think a quieter home would be best for this boy. His adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1869 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org See his cute video!!

Story
This handsome hunk of a peanut is Frijol! He came into rescue with his sister Arroz (their names mean beans and rice!) when their family was going through a major hardship and was unable to continue caring for them. They came into the pound and were so scared, and the volunteers hearts just broke for them. Thankfully a wonderful couple who volunteers agreed to foster these two adorable little darlings until they find forever homes! Frijol is an incredible little guy who is 3 years old and weighs 14 lbs. He’s thicker like a doxie, and is just absolutely adorable! He’s been to the vets and had everything done! Hes now current on vaccines, deworming, preventative, and heartworm tested negative. He has also been microchipped and neutered! This guy is healthy and happy, and ready to start his next beautiful chapter in life! Frijol is white a ham. He is an avid snuggler and has fantastic house manners. When he came into foster care he was so scared, mourning the loss of his family and going thru so many transitions. He kept to himself for the first day and shortly began to really blossom. He’s a playful sweet little man who truly just longs to be someone’s devoted companion and snuggle buddy. He is excellent going potty outside and reliably will go on either pee pads or out in the yard. He enjoys his playtime with toys and loves his treats, but has an overall easy going activity level. He’s happy to take walks and go for car rides, he likes his toys, and gets excited about fun new things. That said, he is also happy to lay by your side snuggled up while you do work, read a book or watch a movie. His dream is to find a forever home that is easy going where he will be able to snuggle up on the sofa and in bed with his parents, and soak up lots of love! He’s living with other pups now but will do just fine as an only pup, he is also excellent with cats! Just looking for a warm, soft, peaceful, loving, happy home to call his own. If this darling little muppet has caught your eye and you’d love to rescue him and give him the life of his dreams, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org/applicationdogs and submit an application for adoption today!!! **NOTE** to ensure prompt response- please go directly to our website (www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org) to apply, or email (inquiries.rescuematch@aol.com) directly with any questions to ensure your inquiry/application is received by our organization.

Story
This absolutely adorable, silly, handsome little snugglebug is Chiclet! This sweet hunk of a baby boy came into a pound and everyone was absolutely smitten with this baby! He has just the best temperament and is so darling, they wanted to ensure that he would find an incredible home! When they reached out, fortunately a fantastic foster home opened their doors to give this guy lots of love and care until he finds his dream home! This boy is full grown at 8 months old and 21.8 lbs. He is a perfect size in that he’s small, but big enough to enjoy hiking, play dates with all size dogs, lots of snuggles, and he’s easy to walk on a leash and take anywhere! He’s had all medical work now completed and he’s current on vaccines, deworming, preventative, heartworm tested negative, and he’s been neutered and microchipped! He’s a healthy stout adorable little fellow and is officially ready for adoption! Chiclet arrived to foster care and instantly settled in and did amazingly well. He’s a social butterfly who enjoys the company of all kinds of animals, he’s great and playful with other dogs, he is good with cats, you name it and his personality has just been so friendly and outgoing. He picked up the household routine quickly and has had great manners reliably going potty outside. He enjoys toys and has medium active puppy play energy. He loves to romp with his doggy friends, but he also absolutely cherished his time snuggled up on the sofa cuddling with you and giving you lots of kisses! This guy really is the perfect quintessential pup in that he’s so reliably happy and outgoing, social with all animals, great on leash and with potty training, playful and fun, but also easy going and snuggly! He will stay beside you gratefully snuggled up at bedtime through the night, and enjoy whatever the next day brings. Car rides, walks, playtime, of a cozy autumn movie night- this boy will be your best friend and most devoted companion! He’s so adorable and has just the best traits anyone could long for in a new baby. If you’ve fallen for sweet Chiclet and would love to have this perfect sweetheart by your side for many years to come, please visit www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org/applicationdogs and submit an application for adoption today!!! **NOTE** to ensure prompt response- please go directly to our website (www.greatdivideanimalrescue.org) to apply, or email (inquiries.rescuematch@aol.com) directly with any questions to ensure your inquiry/application is received by our organization.

Story
Meet Lilly — A Tiny Heart Looking for Her Safe Person Born: January 8, 2023 Breed: Chiweenie Sex: Female Personality: Incredibly sweet • Sensitive • Shy • Devoted Lilly may be little, but she has an enormous heart. She is quite possibly **one of the sweetest dogs you could ever meet**. Once Lilly trusts you, she loves deeply and wants nothing more than to be close to her person. But there is something important her future family needs to understand: **Lilly is scared. Really scared.** New people, unfamiliar places, sudden movement, noise, and changes in her surroundings can overwhelm her. Her first instinct is not aggression—it is to **run, hide, and make herself disappear until she feels safe**. That means Lilly does not need someone who expects her to become their best friend in five minutes. She needs someone patient enough to let **her decide when five minutes becomes five days—or five weeks.** And when she finally comes to you on her own? That trust will mean everything. Lilly would do best in a **quiet, predictable home** with adults or calm older children who understand that frightened dogs cannot be rushed. A securely fenced yard and careful handling around doors would be especially important because a frightened little dog can bolt before anyone realizes what happened. She doesn't need somebody to “fix” her.

Story
Meet Arkie — Tiny Body, BIG Personality Born: December 18, 2025 Breed: Yorkie / Chiweenie Mix Sex: Male Status: Available for Adoption through GreenePets Foster Network Arkie came to GreenePets Foster Network on February 23, 2026 when his owner was unable to keep him because of landlord restrictions. Since then, this little guy has grown up around the kennels and turned into one seriously fun dog. Arkie is a high-energy little scamp who loves being outside, exploring, running and being part of whatever is happening. One of his standout qualities is his excellent recall—when Arkie is called, he pays attention and comes running. For a young dog with this much enthusiasm for life, that's a pretty terrific foundation. He is bright, energetic, people-oriented and ready for someone who will actually enjoy having a lively little dog around. Arkie is not completely house trained yet, so his adopter needs to be willing to finish the job. The good news? He loves going outdoors and is very willing to learn. With a consistent schedule, supervision and positive reinforcement, he has all the ingredients to get there. This isn't a little dog looking to spend his entire life decorating a sofa. Arkie wants adventures, training, playtime, outdoor time and his own person. If you're looking for a small dog with plenty of personality, brains, energy and potential, Arkie may be your boy. Adopt Arkie through GreenePets Foster Network GreenePets.org Small dog. Big adventures. One forever home needed.

Meet our adorable little puppy boy named Kernel! We believe Kernel is about 9 months old, and he came to our shelter after he was found running around through an apartment complex in town. He is a very entertaining little guy and we think he could be a Dachshund/Chihuahua mix, also known as a Chiweenie. Kernel is a very outgoing and affectionate boy who loves to get attention! He is an energetic little puppy who is very food motivated. Kernel is an escape artist, and he is a small guy, so his new family will need to keep an eye on him around any doors/gates/fences. Kernel has lots of love to give, and he would love a family to share this with! Kernel seems fine with other dogs and he can go to a home with children 10 years old and older.
