What we do know is that this little boy has plenty of sweetness and silliness packed into his tiny body. Gideon can be shy when he first meets you, so give him a little time to settle in and get to know you. Gentle encouragement, kind words, and tasty treats help him feel comfortable enough to let his personality shine. Before you know it, you’ll have a cute little boy running around your house, showing off his toys, making you laugh, and scooting close for affection. Other dogs are absolutely Gideon’s kind of company! He is fostered in a multi-dog household with both bigger dogs and little ones his size, and he loves having buddies to play with. His adorable back-and-forth zoomies and little tapping feet make his invitations pretty hard to resist. Imagine watching him bounce around with a canine sibling, turning an ordinary afternoon into their own little playdate. A home with a friendly, playful dog would give him a buddy to share all that fun with. Gideon also loves toys and is happy to carry a favorite around or entertain himself with a little solo playtime. He is very food-motivated and takes treats from your hand with the softest, gentlest touch. Those tasty rewards are a lovely way to get acquainted and give him something to look forward to as he learns your routine. Once he feels at home, Gideon is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves cuddling and being close to his favorite humans. Picture little paws pattering through your house, a toy proudly carried into the room, and this precious boy settling beside you after a good round of play. Give him a little time in the beginning, and you’ll get to discover all the sweetness and silliness that make Gideon so easy to love.

Mylo Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   Energy level:  high Potty training:  trained Fenced yard:  preferred, not required  Shared walls:  suitable People:  adults preferred  Dogs:  selective Other:  tries to escape, prey drive towards birds Overview Meet Mylo, an adorable 1-year-old, 16-pound chocolate brown dachshund with tan and white markings. Mylo came to Little Paws after his previous owner had to move and change jobs. He is a rambunctious, happy little boy who loves going on walks and will make you smile every morning—especially with his quirky habit of spinning around at least three times before doing his business! Environment Mylo has a high energy level and loves daily walks and playtime, walking great on a leash. He will try to escape so gates at doors are a must. He also has some prey drive tendencies towards birds. An adopter must be aware of these tendencies and keep him secure and safe, whether on a leash and harness or a fenced yard.  Mylo uses a pen when left alone and handles it well, but he will whine (quietly) a little at first. Because he is generally quiet, he is suitable for living arrangements with shared walls. Pets & People Mylo does amazingly well with other dogs, matching their energy and respecting their space, though he may bark at male dogs on walks. With people, he is cautious at first but quickly melts into a loving mush, enjoying snuggling and putting his entire face on yours. He prefers not to have his paws touched or wiped by strangers, and his experience with children is not yet known. Location Mylo is available for adoption from Miami, FL. Please email applications@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above.   The adoption fee for Mylo is $500.00    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 14, 2026, 2:20 pm

Dewey Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   Energy level:  medium Potty training:  pee pads Fenced yard:  not required Shared walls:  suitable People:  all Dogs:  all Other:  none Overview Dewey is an incredibly sweet 1-2 year old tan purebred dachshund who just wants love! He loves to cuddle and will happily follow you around everywhere you go. He is a little nosey and loves to snoop around wherever he has access, keeping things entertaining. Environment Dewey is very content to be left to his own devices and is a happy camper in his crate. He would do well in a home with shared walls as he is not too noisy. A fenced yard is not required for him, as he loves walks and is great on a leash. He is fine riding in the car. Pets & People He can be a bit shy with new people at first, but he warms up quickly and has no issues with biting or snapping. He gets along great with other dogs, playing all the time with his foster brother (though he does bark at other dogs on his walks). He has no resource guarding issues around food. Health & Special Needs Dewey has no medical needs. He uses pee pads but sometimes marks spots in the house, so some patience and continued reinforcement with potty training will be helpful. Location Dewey is currently being fostered in Miami, FL. Please email applications@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or submit an application at the button below. Dewey’s adoption fee is $450.00.
