Meet Amaya, the sweetest, most lovable tripod you’ll ever meet! This beautiful black-coated retriever mix has a heart every bit as big as her adorable smile.

Story
Paige is located in Texas but can be transported once adopted. The transport fee is $230 in addition to her adoption fee.Meet Paige… a spunky 5 year old who is looking for a family to love and snuggle with. Paige was surrendered to us by a woman after she had been abandoned at her house for a year by a sibling. She has been an outside dog and is learning to be housed trained. She has been introduced to numerous dogs at her foster family and has had no trouble adjusting. Her favorite activity is sleeping… either in your lap, or on the back of the couch. When it’s time to go outside… she spins in circles with excitement then quickly runs outside to explore and sniff everything. She has excellent recall and comes back quickly when called if not on a leash. She is happiest when her person is near. She will make an excellent companion to anyone looking for unconditional love.*Disclaimer: This pet is located in Texas. Once adoption is finalized the pet will be transported to the adopters location for an additional fee (currently $230-$250).* The adoption fee helps to cover some of the cost of vetting the animal prior to adoption (spay/neuter, microchipping, and up to date vaccinations).Please fill out an adoption application to be considered for adoption. https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=ch2817&method=online_form_html&formid=41

Story
Autumn Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   &#226&#151&#143 Energy level: medium &#226&#151&#143 Potty trained: mostly outside/pads as backup &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard needed: no &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls ok: yes &#226&#151&#143 People: all (older or well-mannered children) &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: most (may need slow introductions) &#226&#151&#143 Other: high prey drive for cats and small animals, pending spay with hernia repair.   Overview Sweet, easy-going, and always ready for cuddles—Autumn is a lovebug looking for her forever family.   Autumn is approximately 2  years old. She is smooth shaded red mini dachshund weighing 11 lbs. She has blossomed in foster care, showing what a wonderful companion she can be.  Environment Autumn is happy and easy-going with medium energy—she enjoys short walks or playtime and is great on leash, though she’ll bark at cars and anything interesting she spots along the way. She’s mostly potty-trained and uses the bathroom outside, with pee pads as backup. She loves her crate and sleeps quietly in it at night without making a peep. She’s content being left alone and doesn’t require a fenced yard, making her adaptable to various living situations including apartments with shared walls. Autumn is a foodie and gets excited at mealtime, but for treats she’s patient—waiting her turn and sitting politely.    Pets & People Autumn loves all people, including children. Her foster home has two boys ages 8 and 14, so she’d do well with older or well-mannered children who are comfortable around dogs. She’s a little shy at first with strangers but warms up within minutes. She’s sweet and loves to cuddle, plus she’s wonderfully cooperative—letting her humans trim her nails and check her teeth and ears without any fuss.   Autumn does well with most dogs. She could benefit from slow introductions with new dogs, though she’s done fine with most she can be a little snappy at first if rushed. She’s definitely a hunter at heart and has high prey drive—she’ll bark at cats through the sliding glass door and pull on leash if she spots one. She even barks at her foster’s tortoises on the balcony, so a home without cats or small animals would be best.   Health Autumn has manageable skin allergies and has an umbilical hernia that will be removed when she gets spayed.   Location Autumn is available for adoption from Miami, FL and she does great in car rides, staying calmly in her seat. Please email juliejohnson@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Autumn is $375.00.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 3, 2025, 3:22 pm

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!
