Story
Welcome Waylon to CCPAL Rescue. Waylon is a 6- pound Dashchund mix pup. That is Dashchund/Chihuahua. He is 10 weeks old. He has the traditional markings of the Dashchund. He has a little longer legs and body. He is good in a crate, likes to be held. He is learning the wee pad and gets toys and treats from our adopters. He will get grooming and nail trims at the rescue so he will be fine with that. He would be a great dog for a lover of this breed. A smaller yard would be fine. He would be fine in a doggy daycare as he is very social. He was found as a stray. He is getting neutered and all his vaccinations at the Rescue. He is ready for his forever home. He would be best in a home with someone that doesn’t work all day everyday as he will need to finish up his puppy training. He would also be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. He is currently in the CCPAL Rescue in Texas. He can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is $600 and transport is $200 to move him to another state. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1869 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org See his cute video!! https://youtu.be/GaO3A3UJ_ok

If you are looking for a pocket-sized sidekick with a massive heart, look no further than Boots! This adorable 9-month-old, 18 lb Dachshund mix made an incredible journey all the way from Salinas, Puerto Rico, and is now settled at Zani's Furry Friends River Sanctuary waiting to meet you. Boots has a truly touching rescue story. He was found as a tiny 4-month-old pup alongside his brave mama, Honey, in a remote area. Thanks to his wonderful rescuers, he has spent the last few months learning how grand life can be. He has blossomed into a fun-loving, high-energy, and incredibly sweet puppy who loves his daily walks and thrives on playtime. Boots is a social butterfly! He gets along beautifully with other dogs of all shapes and sizes, having successfully shared a home with his mom, a playful Pittie, and a majestic German Shepherd. He is already neutered, fully up-to-date on his vaccinations, and has tested negative on all his health screenings (including 4DX and fecal tests). Boots has his bags packed, his health certificate ready, and is purely looking for a family to shower with puppy kisses.
