We don’t know who gave Shorty Spuds permission to be THIS cute, THIS happy, and THIS good at dancing… but we’re really glad they did. If you’ve been waiting for a tiny best friend who brings big joy, will instantly put a smile on your face, Shorty Spuds is about to steal your heart in record time. Watch his video and fall in love with this little cutie: https://youtu.be/xa-He4dnQjc?si=GTB61InK5agmF89h Shorty Spuds is a 1-year-old Dachshund/Chihuahua mix (and with rescue, it’s always a bit of a mystery!) weighing in at about 15 pounds of pure personality. He may be small, but this little guy is packed with happiness, charm, and the kind of love that instantly makes your day better. From the moment you meet him, it’s clear. Shorty loves people. Like, really loves them. He’s the kind of dog who would choose cuddles over toys every single time. While he’ll happily accept a tasty treat (and will absolutely show off his adorable little dance moves for one), what he really wants is you. Your attention, your affection, your lap. His favorite place in the world is curled up right next to his person, soaking up all the love he can get. And speaking of adorable… his face alone is enough to make you melt, but add in his little happy dances and the way he snuggles into your lap like he was made for it? Game over. Shorty is crate trained and doing great with his potty training. He’s still learning, but he’s making progress every day and just needs a little continued guidance in a new home. He’s eager to please and very food motivated, which makes training both fun and rewarding. When it comes to other dogs, Shorty is a great little companion. He enjoys playing, running around, and engaging in lighthearted games of chase. He’s also respectful and fair, shares treats and affection nicely and reads other dogs well. If a dog comes on a little too strong or plays too rough, Shorty will politely advocate for himself with a low growl, basically saying, “hey, i’m a little guy. Let’s keep it gentle please.” It’s all part of his good communication skills. Shorty also met our house cat Biggie and met him appropriately and was very respectful around him. He did not chase Biggie, nor was he bothered by Biggie jumping or doing what cats do. Biggie also felt comfortable around him as well. We do not know if he has ever lived in a home before with a cat and this was our first time seeing him with a cat. If you have a cat in the home, we can arrange for him to have a sleepover with a cat upon request. Just let us know! Shorty would thrive in a home where he can be close to his people, whether that’s lounging on the couch, tagging along for daily activities, or showing off his signature dance moves for a treat. He’s fun, lovable, and full of that contagious happy energy that makes life just a little bit better. If you’re looking for a small dog with a huge heart, endless affection, and the cutest little personality to match, Shorty might just be your perfect match. We are willing to test Shorty Spuds with anything you need in order to ensure it's a perfect match. We can make anything happen! Just let us know. Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

He's particularly fond of balls and tugging toys, and he'll happily play with you for as long as you're willing. His foster family describes him as super sweet, and it's easy to see why. Environment Willie has a medium activity level and enjoys short walks and playtime. He's fully potty trained and does great on the leash. Willie has no need for a crate except for travel purposes. He's very content being left to his own devices and can be alone without any anxiety or issues. He's not too noisy, making him perfectly suitable for homes with shared walls. He rides great in the car and is an excellent travel companion for any adventures or errands. Pets & People Willie is very good with people. He greets anyone happily and is friendly with strangers.

Linnie Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: high Potty training: in progress Fenced yard: yes (tries to escape) Shared walls: suitable People: all, though wary of men initially Dogs: all Other:  Overview Looking for a delightful companion who takes joy in absolutely everything? Linnie the red dachshund might be your perfect enthusiastic partner. Linnie is an 8-year-old purebred red dachshund with a smooth short coat, weighing 20 lbs. He was pulled from a southern West Virginia county shelter by a Little Paws foster and has been thriving ever since. This boy is fun, smart, enthusiastic, and absolutely full of life! Whether it's walks, playtime, or just hanging out with his people, Linnie radiates happiness and positivity. Environment Linnie is a high-energy guy who needs daily walks and playtime to stay happy and healthy. He's working on his potty training and making good progress. He loves walks but is still learning his leash manners, so he'll need patient adopters who can help him polish those skills. He would enjoy time in a fenced yard. He's very content being left to his own devices and can handle alone time without anxiety. He's not too noisy, making him suitable for homes with shared walls. Linnie only uses a crate for travel and doesn't particularly need one otherwise. He transported well when his foster picked him up and seems to handle car rides just fine. Pets & People Linnie is great with women and children—friendly, enthusiastic, and happy to make friends. With men, he pulls the bluster card initially, but if the men ignore his posturing, he takes a beat, realizes he needs to make friends with them, and quickly warms up. It's all show, and once he gets comfortable, he's just as loving with the guys. With other dogs, Linnie is wonderful! He moved into a multi-dog household without any incident and has even developed a sweet romance with an older Dalmatian mix girl in his foster home. His behavior around cats is unknown, but he definitely has herding instincts—he really likes to try to herd deer, which is both entertaining and something to watch for on walks! Linnie isn't a beggar, but he's definitely an opportunist when treats are being handed out—he'll snatch them at every chance! He's enthusiastic about food but not pushy about it during regular mealtimes. This boy adores toys and would absolutely love to play with squeaky toys. A home where he can enjoy all the squeakers would be a dream come true for Linnie! Health & Special Needs Linnie is a little chunky at 20 lbs and has been on Hill's Perfect Weight to help him reach a healthier size. With continued portion control and plenty of exercise, he'll be in great shape. Beyond weight management, he's a healthy, active boy with no other medical concerns. Location Linnie is available for adoption from Fairmont, WV. Please email sydneypringle@yahoo.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Linnie is $325.00. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 1, 2026, 1:20 pm
