Story

Daisy13 is bonded with Roscoe4 and they will only be adopted together. &#226&#128&#139 Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. &#226&#151&#143 Energy level: low &#226&#151&#143 Potty trained: mostly (needs attentive human) &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard needed: preferred &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls ok: no &#226&#151&#143 People: all &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: all &#226&#151&#143 Other: bonded with Roscoe Overview Looking for a beautiful, devoted soul who wants nothing more than to be your constant companion? Daisy is that girl. Daisy is a 12-year-old red dachshund weighing just over 9 lbs. She was surrendered by her previous owner and has completely transformed in her foster home, where she’s discovered the joys of yard time, freedom to roam, and all the cuddles she could want. Environment Daisy is the ultimate companion dog who will happily stay snuggled beside you all day long, giving sweet kisses and soaking up your love. She’s thriving without a crate and absolutely adores having yard access—she loves exploring, sniffing all the interesting smells, and taking her time investigating her surroundings. Her human should be attentive to her potty cues, and reusable pee pads can be put out at night as backup. She enjoys walks and is learning her leash skills. Daisy loves being wherever her people are, and when left inside while her humans are outside, she’ll let you know she wants to join you. She does best with someone who’s home most of the time and can give her the companionship she craves. Pets & People Daisy starts out cautious with new people but warms up beautifully once she realizes she’s safe—then she loves any and all attention. She’s wonderfully calm and accepting with other dogs, showing a passive and curious demeanor. At mealtime, she’s a perfect lady—her foster feeds four dogs at once and Daisy politely eats her own food without bothering the others. She’s a quick learner too—when she’s been caught digging (those yard smells are just so intoxicating after her previous indoor life!), she stops immediately when redirected. Health Daisy has manageable skin allergies that respond well to fish oil and occasional Benadryl when she’s itchy. She also takes glucosamine to keep her senior joints comfortable and mobile. Location Daisy is available for adoption from Chocowinity, NC and she rides well in the car. She may be a little nervous at first but settles right down next to her human for the journey. Please email msbakeragc@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Daisy is $250.

Story

Minnie (Minerva) Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. • Energy level: medium • Potty training: in progress/pads • Fenced yard: not needed • Shared walls: suitable • People: calm adults and older children • Dogs: all • Other: Minnie has a heart condition that requires monitoring but no medication at this time; mild IVDD, special diet for pancreatitis Overview Looking for a gentle companion who’ll stick by your side? Minnie the senior dachshund might be the velcro pup you’ve been looking for. Minnie is a sweet, determined little lady with black and white coloring. Her estimated age is about 11 years old and weighs just under 8 lbs. She was found wandering alone in a parking lot in Little Havana, and a kind person got her checked out by a vet and groomed before she came to Little Paws. Environment Minnie is a calm, easygoing girl who loves her daily walks and gets excited the moment she hears the leash. She’s still learning the pee pad routine and does well most of the time, though she has occasional accidents. She sleeps peacefully through the night and can be left alone for short periods—she’ll pace a bit, relax on the couch, then pace again. Crate training hasn’t been needed as she’s been comfortable and well-behaved without one. Pets & People Minnie is gentle and enjoys being around people, especially when there’s quiet affection involved. She’s very easygoing with strangers, both at home and in public. She gets along beautifully with other dogs and even likes to share a bed with her foster sister. But fair warning: she’s very food-motivated and can be a bit of a food thief if given the chance! Health Minnie has Stage B1 (mild) mitral regurgitation secondary to chronic valvular disease. She doesn’t require any heart medication at this time, but she will need periodic re-checks with her veterinarian to ensure her condition remains stable. She has received the care of a neurologist for mild IVDD, where she was prescribed meds and rest. Minnie eats a special low fat diet to control pancreatitis. Location Minnie is available for adoption from Doral, FL and she’s very calm in the car, usually falling asleep during rides. Please email cory_wg@hotmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Minnie is $250.00.

Roscoe4 is bonded with Daisy13 and they will only be adopted together. Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. &#226&#151&#143 Energy level: low &#226&#151&#143 Potty trained: yes (with consistent human) &#226&#151&#143 Fenced yard needed: preferred but not required &#226&#151&#143 Shared walls ok: yes &#226&#151&#143 People: all &#226&#151&#143 Dogs: all &#226&#151&#143 Other: bonded with Daisy Overview Meet Roscoe, a gentle old soul who’s ready to bloom in a patient, loving home where he can relax and be himself. Roscoe is a 14-year-old red dachshund weighing just over 19 lbs. He was surrendered by his previous owner and has been steadily coming out of his shell in foster care, where he’s discovered the simple pleasures of freedom, outdoor time, and human affection. Environment Roscoe is a classic couch potato who’s perfectly content with the low-key life. He’s making wonderful progress in his foster home—getting more interested in exploring, more comfortable with humans, and learning to trust again. He finds comfort in his cozy blanket when he needs to decompress. With a consistent routine, he’s reliably potty-trained and gives clear cues when he needs to go out. He’ll also use washable pee pads at night as backup. He’s loving his crate-free life and adores having a fenced yard to enjoy at his leisure. He’s interested in walks and is working on his leash skills. Roscoe does best with someone who’s home most of the time and can provide the steady companionship he needs to continue building his confidence. He’s quiet enough for shared walls. Pets & People Roscoe is a gentle, calm boy with people who just needs a little time to feel secure. Once he knows he’s safe, he becomes more comfortable and affectionate. He’s wonderfully peaceful with other dogs—no drama, no confrontation, just an easy-going guy who gets along with everyone. At mealtime, he’s polite and respectful, eating his own food and leaving others to finish theirs. When he’s uncertain about something, he’ll retreat to his safe space (usually under his blanket) until he feels ready to reengage. Health Roscoe manages age-related allergies and joint stiffness with glucosamine for mobility, fish oil for skin health, and occasional Benadryl when he’s scratchy. These simple supplements keep him comfortable and happy. Location Roscoe is available for adoption from Chocowinity, NC and he rides well in the car. He may be a little nervous at first but settles right down next to his human for the journey. Please email msbakeragc@gmail.com with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Roscoe is $250.

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.

The adoption fee is $150.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 12, 2025, 6:43 pm
