Story

Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: medium Potty trained: yes Fenced yard: preferred but not required Shared walls: suitable People: all Dogs: all Other: barks at cats, so a home without them is best Looking for an easygoing companion who loves to snuggle? Chewy the chiweenie might be your perfect match. Overview Chewy is a 9-year-old smooth-coated brown chiweenie who weighs 11 lbs. She was surrendered by her previous family due to circumstances unrelated to her behavior—she's simply a sweetheart looking for her next forever home. Chewy is the definition of easygoing: she gets along with everyone, loves to cuddle, and enjoys a good balance of activity and relaxation. She even does an adorable little stand on her back legs when she's excited for her favorite treats (Blue Buffalo Nudges Grillers, in case you were wondering). Environment Chewy is fully potty trained and does well both on leash walks and in a secure fenced area. While a fenced yard would be nice for her to roam and play safely (just make sure there are no gaps at the bottom where her small self could wiggle through), she's equally happy with leash walks. She loves her crate and will hop right in, especially if there's a treat involved. Chewy has been left alone for up to 8 hours in her crate without issue and does well in a home with shared walls—she's not a noisy neighbor. Because she's so small, her foster family recommends using a good harness for walks to keep her safe and secure. Pets & People Chewy is wonderful with both adults and children—no issues noted at all. She did great at the vet (a little scared, but no hostility), and while she hasn't had much exposure to strangers in her current foster home, her previous family reported she did fine with everyone, even a newborn infant. Chewy gets along beautifully with other dogs and hasn't shown any problems. She's gentle when taking treats, never snatchy or greedy, even when other dogs try to steal hers. She's also very food motivated, which makes her a joy to train. That said, Chewy does bark at cats, so a home without feline friends would be best for everyone's peace of mind. Location Chewy is available for adoption from Forest, VA. Please email stacyp@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Chewy is $325. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 17, 2026, 11:55 am

Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter,

Story

Located in Tennessee but can be transported to you through Rescue Riders. This girl was brought in with babies when her owner couldn't take care of her. She was not socialized very well so will need some work. She will need a very patient person to get her to come out of her shell. She was kept outside so she has no house manners, nor has she been with cats. She does do well with dogs her size and seems to like to play with them. She deserves a new chance to be a loved dog and companion. She will take a lot of time and investment but deserves a chance!

Story

Are you looking for the sweetest thing on 4 legs? Then look no further cos I am just a perfect, sweet pup, ready for my forever home. My name is Rosie and I am a 4 yr old Dachshund mix, around 23 lbs. I was found by a kind human while I was homeless with my puppies. The RTL rescue took us all in and got homes for my puppies and now it's my turn. I love everyone and everything. Sweet as a peach and just wanting a wonderful home with maybe a doggie friend. I also love cats and kids to play with. At the end of play time though, I love nothing more than cuddling up with my special person as the perfect little lap dog. I can be the dog you want and need, Don't waste any time... this awesomeness doesn't last long, there will be a stampede of potential adopters for me *All of The Right to Live dogs are fostered locally in San Antonio Texas and will be transported to other states to their new families upon adoption. We believe fostering dogs and not having them decompress in a kennelled environment is more beneficial for the dogs and builds their trust and companionship in a family situation. Adoption fee includes transportation costs, previous/current medical treatment (spay/neuter, etc.) and a health certificate for cross-state travel*

Story

Meet Star ✨ – a shy but soulful Chiweenie puppy ready to bloom Star is a 5½-month-old Chiweenie who came to us from a hoarding situation. Because of her past, she is understandably very shy at first and needs a patient, experienced home that will give her the time and space she needs to feel safe. Star tends to bond more quickly with women, and once she trusts you, she is incredibly gentle, sweet, and devoted—a true little shadow who wants nothing more than to be near her person. When she feels comfortable, her personality really shines. She loves chew toys, enjoys playing, and absolutely thrives in the company of other dogs. Having a confident, social dog in the home is a must for Star. A doggy role model helps her build confidence and learn the routine of home life. She is potty trained, crate trained, and is generally quiet, rarely barking. Star loves to run and play in the yard, so a securely fenced yard is required, as she is still working on leash training. Star would do best in a calm home with teens or adults only, where her boundaries can be respected and her confidence can continue to grow. If you’re looking for a special puppy to nurture—one who will reward your patience with deep loyalty and love—Star could be the perfect addition to your family. APPLY HERE: www.pprct.org
