Story
Rosy is a sweet girl who has been thru a lot in her life. People have let her down over and over so this time we will make sure her new family knows all about her, has experience with dogs and will love her forever and ever. Rosy would do best as an only dog or with a large very calm dog. Once she bonds she will become your shadow so someone who is home most of the time is preferred. Sorry no kiddos for Rosy. She is a great walking companion and loves playing fetch so a yard is a must. If you are interested in meeting Rosy and want more information about this girl please complete the adoption application on our webpage www:MuttlyCrew.org Rosy is 8 years old and 32lbs

Story
Finnegan is an approximately 9-year-old, 30-pound bundle of love with a DNA mix of Dachshund, Chihuahua, and Poodle—though we think he’s 100% adorable! This charming boy is looking for a special someone to share his life with. Finnegan recently had cataract surgery and he’ll need daily eye drops for life.  He also gets a once a month injection for Addison’s disease, which is caused by a deficiency in steroid hormones. But don’t worry, he’s a champ with his care routine and can live a normal life. Finnegan is incredibly affectionate and thrives on companionship. He loves people and enjoys being near you, though he takes a little longer to warm up to men. He’s a devoted little buddy who will follow you around and make every day brighter just by being by your side. He’s not suited for apartment living and may bark when left alone, so he’d do best in a quiet, single-family home with someone who works from home or is around most of the time. Finnegan can get overwhelmed on busy walks, especially with lots of people and noise, so he needs a calm, confident leader who can help him feel safe and avoid stressful situations. To help with this transition, we’ll provide professional training support upon adoption. Finnegan gets along well with other small, calm dogs and can even live peacefully with cats. He’s ready to find a home where he can relax, feel secure, and shower his person with unconditional love. Could you be the one to give Finnegan the forever home he’s been waiting for? If you are interested in meeting Finnegan please complete the adoption application on our website, www.greatpets.org. Once your application is received and reviewed you will be contacted to discuss if Finnigan would be a good fit for you. Finnegan's $250 adoption donation includes his vet exam, vaccinations, blood work, cataract surgery, microchip and fecal exam.October 22, 2025, 4:59 pm

Story
TO APPLY FOR HER, GO DIRECTLY TO OUR WEBSITE, https://www.karmicrescue.org Rosa has the softest little curls of hair and tufts sticking off the ends of her ears! She reminds us of a fox, a friendly fox. Rosa is not afraid to show her affection with her foster mom or her teenage daughter. Rosa lives with another dog and a cat, so we know that with patient and respectful intros, Rosa can live with both. Of course like so many rescued animals, she can be shy at first; that's a part of her persona, but once she trusts you, she is a happy little girl. Pee pad trained however, with this simple skill in place, it will be easy to transition to the next step; read the following.

Story
Hey There Future Family!! My name is Savannah and I am a beautiful white chiweenie girl. I and my sweet funny sister Sierra are available for you to adopt together. We were born in rescue on 12.12,18, where Dad was there with Mom. Rescue trapped Mom and Dad in the high desert, they were dumped and almost starved to death and completely terrified of people. They look just like my sister and I and are still in rescue too and still learning social skills.and will be available for adoption one day. I and Sierra have learned to trust and be loved by humans, but still very shy. We think that my sweet sister may be the equivalent to autistic, but she doesn't know any different, she is just the happiest girl, runs and plays and acts like a nut, we have a great time together and we like to cuddle at bedtime. I watch over her so she doesn't get into trouble. Rescue said its time for a very special family to take us under their wings and love us, and teach us that people can be kind and patient. We are peepad trained, doggie door trained and are still learning to walk on a leash. We are friendly but timid/shy and we LOVE Treats!! We are fully vaccinated, spayed, and have a prepaid international microchip so you can take us on vacation with you to other countries!! :D If you are an amazing doggie family who gives the underdogs a chance at a loving home, please complete the application process so our rescuers can make plans for you to meet us. Until then - Happy Tails and LOVE from Savannah

Hey There Future Family!! My name is SIERRA and I am a beautiful white chiweenie girl. I and my sweet sister Savannah are available for you to adopt together.

They look just like my sister and I and are still in rescue too and still learning social skills.and will be available for adoption one day. I and Savannah have learned to trust and be loved by humans, but I am even more shy than my sister. I am very loved here in rescue, they tell me I am a special girl and say the word 'autistic', Rescue mom says a special pup who is pawtistic 😁 I dont know what that is, but I feel like I am just a normal dog who loves life and I dont know any different, I am a good girl, I enjoy running and they say I hop like a bunny when I run, thats funny. I like to chase the dogs when they chase the ball, and I like to step in the kibble bowl to find just the right piece of kibble that is yummy for me. I am told I am silly, but I am just happy, we have a great time together and we like to cuddle at bedtime. My sister stays close to me and watches over me, I like to know where she is most times, she doesn't want me to get into trouble. Rescue said its time for a very special family to take us under their wings and love us, and teach us that people can be kind and patient.
