Story
Young, energetic, and all around the epitome of cuteness! Dylan is a happy and energetic 9 month old dachshund mix. He is 35 lbs now but may have a bit of growing to do.. He has joined our rehoming program as he is a bit too energetic for the old dog in the home. A new home where he can get his energy needs met would be great! He is not a barker, is very sweet. He has been with a 5 year old without issues but we always have the whole family meet. Please contact Our Companions Animal Rescue at 860-242-9999 or e-mail us at helpline@ourcompanions..org

If you are seeing our pets posted in your state, that's because you live near a transport stop, they are not currently at that location. Petfinder lists our pets as 'Out of Town' pets at other locations, and Adopt-a-Pet lists our location as a Transport stop. Those are currently the only options they offer to make this clear, so we put this description we've put at the bottom to explain it. You can read more about transport here: www.charmingpetrescue.org/transportWe understand transport is not an option for everyone, but we offer it at the cost we pay the transport company for those who wish to adopt from us.April 30, 2025, 11:39 am

Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. &#226&#151&#143 Energy level: high &#226&#151&#143 Potty training: trained (when let out often) &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard: needed &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls ok: yes (mostly quiet) &#226&#151&#143 People: adults preferred &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: can be an only dog &#226&#151&#143 Other: has some separation anxiety   Overview Meet Marcus, a cuddly 8-year-old red short-haired pup who's looking for his forever cuddle buddy!   Marcus is a sweet 14-pound gentleman who loves nothing more than curling up for a good snuggle. This little guy found himself at Little Paws through no fault of his own after his previous owner developed dementia. Now he's ready to bond with someone new and shower them with affection.   Environment Marcus has a mix of energy needs—he enjoys his daily walks (and he's great on a leash!) but also values his downtime. While he's fully potty trained when given regular outdoor access, he appreciates having a fenced yard to explore and do his business. Marcus will bark briefly to announce visitors but is otherwise mostly quiet, making him suitable for homes with shared walls.   He does experience some separation anxiety and prefers not to be left alone for extended periods. He'll use a crate when needed but it's not his favorite place to be. Marcus is looking for someone who can give him the time and attention he deserves.   Pets & People Marcus tends to bond quickly with one special person but gets along fine with other adults in the home. He hasn't been tested with children. He's done well in public settings like the vet's office and pet store.   As an only dog for most of his life, Marcus is still learning proper playtime manners and may try to establish himself by jumping, though he’s not aggressive. He's gentle with food and treats, making training a pleasant experience. For a bit of entertainment, watch for his occasional "zoomies" when playful energy strikes.   Location Marcus is available for adoption from Cumming, GA. Please email nadinedenise@att.net with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Marcus is $325.00.&#226&#128&#139&#226&#128&#139&#226&#128&#139&#226&#128&#139&#226&#128&#139&#226&#128&#139&#226&#128&#139&#226&#128&#139&#226&#128&#139&#226&#128&#139  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 2, 2025, 4:44 pm

Story
****SPARKLES IS BEING FOSTERED IN BROOKLINE, NH**** Sparkles is a beautiful, rambunctious, outgoing wirehair dachshund mix that has so much love to give. She is approximately 11 lbs and is about 12-14 weeks old. She is VERY long and very short to the ground, so we know she has some sort of dachshund in her. Her wirehair causes for minimal/no shedding, so we believe she could be considered hypoallergenic. This girl has got it all going on. She is beyond friendly, super playful and is a mini energizer bunny. She is currently being fostered with other dogs and cats, and she gets along wonderfully with all of them. While she is not fostered with children, she would do wonderful with them. She will keep children and everyone in the family entertained and laughing for years to come. Sparkles loves to play and loves her toys. She gets the zoomies and will run around the house with toys in her mouth, squeaking them as she goes. She’s more than happy to get the other dogs up and going too. She LOVES other dogs and would thrive in a home with other ones. Sparkles is learning house training and with time, will master it completely. An ideal home for Sparkles would be one that is a little more active as Sparkles enjoys being on the go and exploring new things. She’s one for adventures and seeking out new activities, and would love to go on trails, to dog parks and just wherever her new family will take her. If you think Sparkles is the perfect dog for you, please fill out an application today! You can do so on our website at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org Sparkles will be spayed, she is current on vaccinations, current on dewormer, current on heartworm/flea tick meds, microchipped, and has a clean bill of health from a veterinarian.

Story
Available for adoption is our delicious Mexican dish puppies! These sweet babies are about 12 weeks old and are the gentlest furbabies. Nacho, Tamale, Fajita and Birria are ready to find their forever homes. They have not had an easy life. They grew up under a house, where they had no human interaction. The owners of the home wanted nothing to do with them. A good Samaritan had seen them and offered to help. Over the course of a few days, they were able to get all 4 puppies to safety and in a foster. There are 2 males and 2 females: Tamale – Female – Schnauzer/Dachshund mix – Tri Color – Wirehair – Minimal shedding – 5.5 lbs as of 4/28/25 Fajita – Female – Dachshund/Chi mix – Black/tan – Shorthair – Runt of the litter – 3.0 lbs as of 4/28/25 Nacho – Male – Dachshund/Chi mix – Black/Tan – Short hair – biggest of the litter at 7.5 lbs as of 4/28/25 Birria – Male – Schnauzer/Dachshund mix – Tri Color – Wirehair – Minimal shedding – 5.8 lbs as of 4/28/25 These babies are very timid. They have been fostered with cats and other dogs, and we strongly suggest having another FRIENDLY, confident dog in the home to help them come out of their shell. When you baby talk them or talk sweet to them, they wag their tails and want to trust you, but they just don’t know how yet. They are very gentle babies. Not aggressive at all, just unsure. We do not recommend small/young children with these babies. They are too nervous and loud sounds, too much going on in a household will only cause them to withdraw further. An ideal home for these babies is one that is calm, quieter and very patient. We know with lots of love and time these puppies will thrive. They are just learning what everything is – toys, treats, play time, cuddle time, and love. If you think you have the perfect home for one of these babies, please consider applying to adopt – You can fill out an application at www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org They are current on vaccinations, dewormed, current on flea/heartworm/tick meds, microchipped and will have a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to adoption.
