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.

Story
💛🐾 TEDDY 🐾💛 “Same Teddy. One more chapter. Still looking for his people.” Meet Teddy. At 10 months old, Teddy is a Dachshund mix with a big personality, a big heart, and absolutely no shortage of opinions about where he would like to be: with his people. This little guy has had a couple of false starts in life, but here's what we know for sure: Teddy is a really, really good dog. He loves people. He loves other dogs. He loves car rides. He knows his commands. He's kennel trained. And he genuinely enjoys being part of a family. Teddy originally came to us as a puppy and was adopted into a home. Unfortunately, the household environment became stressful for him and he developed a significant fear of one family member. His family worked to help him, but ultimately the situation wasn't the right fit for Teddy, and he's now back with us. And that's okay. Because Teddy isn't broken. He's not a bad dog. He's not a difficult dog. He's a young dog who needs the right environment to feel safe and confident. When Teddy feels comfortable, you see the real guy. The happy guy. The playful guy. The guy who heads off to doggie daycare and happily hangs out with his canine friends. The guy who loves attention and wants to know what everyone is doing. The guy who would much rather be riding in the car with you than sitting home wondering where you went. Basically... Teddy is looking for a person with a passenger seat. He would do best in a calmer home with someone who understands that trust is built over time. He doesn't need a circus. He doesn't need a dozen people coming through the door every day. He needs his person. Someone patient. Someone kind. Someone who will let him settle in, learn the routine and discover that he's finally landed somewhere safe. Once that happens, I have a feeling Teddy is going to be one of those dogs who wants to be involved in everything. Laundry? Teddy's available. Netflix? Teddy's watching. Going for a ride? He's already in the car. Another dog wants to play? Excellent. Teddy is now 10 months old, small-to-medium sized, healthy, neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, kennel trained and knows his commands. And he's ready. Not for just any home. For his home. The one where he gets to stop starting over. The one where he gets to finally exhale. The one where he can be goofy, loving, playful Teddy for the rest of his life. 💛🐾 Teddy has been waiting long enough. Let's get this boy home.
