Story
🐾 Meet Snoopy & Koda 🐾 💛 Looking for Their Forever Home 💛 A couple of months ago, we were made aware of two dogs in urgent need of rehoming. At first, we were not sure we had the capacity to help—but after meeting them, it was clear they needed immediate care, safety, and a second chance. With the help of an incredibly compassionate foster mom and a generous donor, Snoopy and Koda received full veterinary care and have been learning what it means to feel safe, loved, and part of a home. ✨ Now they’re ready for their forever family! ✨ 🐶 Koda
 Koda is an approximately 2-year-old female pug—and she is everything you love about pugs. She’s petite, playful, and incredibly sweet. She comes with:
• A tiny tongue that peeks out when she sleeps
• The cutest little “vampire” underbite
• A squishy muffin head that’s impossible not to kiss She’s full of personality and love, and she will absolutely steal your heart. 🐶 Snoopy
 Snoopy is an approximately 5-year-old dachshund mix—affectionately described as a “little land seal” 🖤 • Short, chunky legs
• Big soulful eyes
• Much smaller than he appears in photos Don’t let his pictures fool you—he’s actually very petite and loves being close to his people. 💛 Their Personalities
• Both dogs are incredibly sweet and affectionate
• Great with people and children
• House-trained and adjusting well to home life
• Learning how to play, relax, and just be dogs 🚫Snoopy is believed to not be suitable for homes with other pets aside from his friend Koda. Koda is believed to be good with cats and other dogs. Both dogs have been evaluated by a professional trainer. 🏡 Adoption Details: 
Ideally, we would love for Snoopy and Koda to be adopted together—they share a strong bond and came from the same situation. However, we understand that may not be realistic, and we are open to applications for one or both. Both Snoopy and Koda are up to date on vaccinations and have been spayed/neutered/microchipped. We are committed to finding the absolute best homes for them. 📋 Adoption Requirements • Completed application • Personal and veterinary references • Proof of home ownership or landlord approval (verbal & written) • Meet and greet/Home visit 📩 Interested in adopting? Please email: sdbpctrescue@gmail.com An application will be sent to you.

Story
Meet Lili, a cutie who will fill your home with kisses, cuddles, and endless entertainment.   Lili is a 3-4 year old dachshund mix with a gorgeous short red coat. Lili weighs 25.6 lbs and is working on reaching a healthier weight.  She is the confident leader of the pack—a huge love bug who's always ready with kisses and attention. She's curious, easy-going, and loves to sniff everything on walks.    Environment   This high-energy girl needs a long daily walk and play sessions to stay happy and healthy. She's fully potty trained and doesn't require a fenced yard, though outdoor time for exercise is important.  Lili is very sweet and gentle with people. She loves attention and is usually the first one to approach for pets and kisses. She had family visitors over and was friendly and happy the whole time.     Pets & People   With strangers, Lili sometimes does a "preventive bark" during walks—one or two barks as if to say "I'm here, stay back." Once she sees that her people know and trust the person, she becomes friendly and comes closer for greetings.   During walks, Lili has strong reactions toward other animals—she pulls the leash and is eager to get closer, requiring redirection. She's done the "preventive bark" at stranger dogs from a distance. She has prey drive and will need experienced owners who can work on her leash reactivity, with prior knowledge or with a professional trainer.   Health Lili will benefit from continued training, particularly around leash manners and reactivity. An experienced adopter who can provide structure, patience, and positive reinforcement will help her thrive.   Location Lili is available for adoption from Coral Springs, FL. Please email virginiabyron20@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. Her adoption fee is $300.

Story
Alfred Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: medium Potty training: fully trained Fenced yard: preferred but not required Shared walls: suitable People: all Dogs: all Other: grain allergy and GI issues    Overview Who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks? Alfred certainly hasn't gotten the memo. This fluffy white 11-year-old mix is every bit as playful and snuggly as a puppy—just with a lifetime of good manners already built in. At 17.2 lbs of soft, white fluff, Alfred is an owner surrender who came to Little Paws through no fault of his own. What he lacks in backstory drama he makes up for in sheer charm: he loves cuddles, he loves play, and he is endlessly patient and gentle with everyone around him.   Environment Alfred is a wonderfully easygoing housemate. He's fully potty trained, so no accidents to worry about. He uses a pen rather than a traditional crate, and he is genuinely content to entertain himself—he's very happy left to his own devices for longer stretches, making him a great fit for working households. He enjoys short walks and playtime to keep that puppy spirit alive, but he's not demanding about it. A yard would be a nice bonus, but it's not a must. He travels happily in the car and loves watching the world go by from his window seat—a tall car seat works great for him!   Pets & People Alfred is a social butterfly who has been perfectly content living alongside three other dogs in his foster home. He's gentle and easy with everyone he meets—people included. He loves to lick his doggy housemates' ears. Whether they asked for a grooming session or not. He is patient and well-mannered around food, waiting calmly when asked. He's the kind of dog who makes you look like a great trainer without even trying.   Health & Special Needs Alfred has a grain allergy and some GI sensitivities that his foster is actively managing. This simply means he'll need a grain-free diet going forward—something his new family will want to continue. His foster can share more details about what's been working well for him.   Location Alfred is available for adoption from Raleigh, NC. Please email kellinashawaty@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Alfred is $250.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 24, 2026, 3:23 pm

Story
&#226&#151&#143 Energy level: low-moderate &#226&#151&#143 Potty trained: needs assistance &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard needed: no &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls ok: no &#226&#151&#143 People: no young children &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: friendly with small dogs &#226&#151&#143 Other: special needs with mobility and bladder expression   Overview Meet Printz, a sweet 7-year-old red smooth coat dachshund who's looking for a special family to cherish him. At 17.2 pounds, this loving boy proves that good things come in medium packages! Despite facing some mobility challenges, Printz maintains a wonderfully positive attitude and has a heart full of love to share.   Environment Printz is seeking a patient and nurturing home where someone can be present most of the time, as he gets a bit anxious when left alone. While he's currently on crate rest due to a back injury and needs help with mobility, he still enjoys the simple pleasures in life. He does well walking with assistance using a sling and is perfectly content in homes without a yard. He's well-behaved in his crate when his family needs to step out, but he can be vocal so shared walls are probably not a good idea. His reasonable energy needs and gentle nature make him an excellent companion.   Pets & People Printz is a very loving dog who thrives on human connection and wants nothing more than to be near his person. While initially shy, he quickly warms up to show his affectionate personality. He's a social butterfly with other small dogs and does very well in multi-dog households but is untested with children or cats. Therefore, only applicants with older, considerate kids will be considered. He can be vocal around larger dogs, but this is likely due to his size and mobility situation. He is food aggressive and eats his meals and treats in his crate. He's happy to go in the crate and comes out when the other dogs in the home have finished their food. He will growl and nip if disturbed when he has food or a valued toy.    Health Printz has some special medical needs that require a dedicated family. He currently needs assistance with bladder and bowel expression due to his back injury. He can take trazodone as needed to help manage any discomfort or anxiety. His mobility requires some extra support, and he uses a sling to help him walk comfortably. These needs are manageable with the right care routine, and his sweet personality makes it all worthwhile.   Location Printz is available for adoption from Gastonia, NC. Due to his special needs, he would prefer a home within a reasonable driving distance, as he can find long car rides challenging. Please email autenlinda@yahoo.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee is $150.00  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 7, 2026, 4:53 pm

Sammy Bio   Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   • Energy level: medium • Potty training: trained • Fenced yard: no but does need frequent potty breaks • Shared walls: no  • People: no young children • Dogs: good with slow moving dogs that will respect his space • Other: Sammy does well when he wears a soft cone; it helps him to navigate his surroundings as well as gives him a barrier in his personal space.   Overview   Meet Sammy, a beautiful ~10 year old, 10 lb golden-coated dachshund who proves that love sees beyond physical limitations.   Sammy came to Little Paws as a stray found in Miami, but this sweet boy has nothing but affection to give. Despite being somewhat visually impaired due to cataracts, Sammy navigates the world with his heart wide open and is absolutely craving human connection and love.   Environment   Sammy is a gentle soul who enjoys short walks and playtime. He’s potty trained with regular potty breaks, doing best with a consistent routine. He’s great on the leash and loves his walks. Sammy is not a fan of the crate and does bark when left alone. He needs a home without shared walls. This love bug just wants to be near his people! His happy place is the sofa, left to relax without interruption.   Pets & People   Sammy is incredibly sweet with adults and older children, but he wouldn’t suit living with young children as he can be easily startled. He has shown some guarding of his space but after recent eye surgery his disposition has improved. Sammy doesn’t like to be moved when he gets comfortable and is best when left alone in "his space". He will need an adopter willing to let him be in his happy place; he will come to the human for affection on his own terms. Because he is easily startled and needs this space, he would be ok as an only dog or with another small, calm dog. His nature makes him wonderful with patient family members who understand his needs. Due to his vision, he’s very gentle around food and needs to be guided to his food and water bowls, but he manages beautifully once he knows where everything is. Sammy has come a long way since the shelter and has recently discovered his love of squeaky toys and has developed a bond with his foster sibling, Cosmo, a small easy going doxie mix.   Health   Sammy has cataracts that cause visual impairment, and he recently had eye surgery to repair a lens. He sometimes bumps into things and needs gentle guidance to his food and water bowls, but he manages well. Wearing a soft cone helps him to navigate his home. He tries to use potty pads but can not always see them. He takes a joint supplement, omega for his skin, and probiotics. He is on a low fat diet and must continue on this food. His visual challenges don’t slow down his loving spirit one bit.   Location   Sammy is available for adoption from Miami, FL. Please email siriad81@aol.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Aspen is $250.00.
