Story
Miles is 7 years old and was adopted from a local rescue at 10 weeks old. He bonded to our older dog without any issues but definitely calls the shots. As he has gotten older he has become more aggressive and intolerant of other dogs and house guests. We adopted a puppy last August and he does not tolerate him and must be secluded unless he goes outside to the bathroom. If you have him 1 on 1 he is a sweetheart but he needs a quiet home where there are no kids and no other pets. We love him but want what is best for him and our home environment is no longer suited for his needs.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.OSKAR Breed: smooth dachshund Age: 8 years Weight: 15 pounds Adoption Fee: $375 Vetting Status: neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, dewormed, heartworm negative and maintained on preventatives, recent dental ~~~~~ OSKAR is a sweet & sassy wiener who is looking to settle into a furever home.   He is a professional snuggler & loves most humans, just no small ones please!   Oskar's hobbies include sleeping under covers, sunning himself on the deck, watching TV & batting his BBE's (big brown eyes) at you for any snacks you may want to share?   Canine minions are cool and chilln' with his foster fur-brother is fun. However, very large dogs or hyper-happy alpha types who want to be all up in his face are not Oskar's cup of tea.  Oskar did have some injuries from his prior life when he came to rescue, but has fully recovered & ready to go home. His canine dentist (ok, vet) also says his teeth are in great shape.    He is housetrained and leash trained, loves to go on walks, & ride in the car.   Oskar is okay with crates, but much prefers hanging around the house & would LOVE to snuggle with you in the "big bed" at night if allowed.    Oskar would be suited to apartment living provided you agree to carrying HRH (his royal hound-ness) up & down any stairs, as all nobility should be!     P.S. If you think OSKAR is the dog for you, please fill out an adoption application today! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~  OSKAR  is available for adoption through K-9 Rescue of the  Eastern Shore.   An adoption process is required to include filling out an online adoption application available at the following link --  https://www.k9rescuees.org/info/adoption  ` Veterinary and personal reference checks, and a home visit/meet-n-greet are required PRIOR to being approved to adopt.   The time frame for completing this process depends largely on how quickly references respond, your vet office is able to speak to us (some want written permission first), your landlord or HOA (if applicable) confirms their approval for a pet, & how your schedule aligns with that of our volunteer(s) for the Home Visit. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ PLEASE NOTE ~ All of our rescue members are volunteers with many obligations. While we may not be capable of immediate response, we will respond to all inquiries and application submissions as soon as possible. Thank you for thinking adoption! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ #dachshundsofinstagram, #adoptme, #brokennomore, #sausagedogVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 29, 2025, 6:32 pm

Story
PLEASE READ ENTIRE BIO TO THE BOTTOM Opie and Pearl are 2 gorgeous chi/terrier mix pups that are as sweet as can be. Opie is the male and he weighs approximately 14 lbs. Pearl is the female, and she weighs right at 9 lbs. We believe they were born around September 30th, which will put them around 4 months old. We do not believe they will get much bigger than they are now as they have already hit their growth spurt. They are siblings but they are not bonded. One of our volunteers was driving down the road in Texas, by the Mexico border, when these 2 puppies ran out in the road and almost got ran over. They were not street smart. Our volunteer followed the puppies and found the home they belonged to. We found out these 2 puppies (and the momma dog) belonged to a couple who had gotten them for their adult autistic son. The puppies and mom had never seen a veterinarian, and they did not have a fence to secure them, so they would just open the door and let the dogs out to go running the streets and neighborhood. Thankfully, they agreed to surrender the puppies to us, but unfortunately, they would not let us have the mom. The mom weighed around 18 lbs. These pups are very sweet, and very submissive. They act shy, but once you baby talk them, they become jello and just start wiggling their butts, rolling over for tummy rubs and just melt. Pearl is a little more outgoing than Opie, but they are both learning to love humans. They love other dogs and get along great with them! They have met cats and do fine with them. They have toys and enjoy playing with them, but they enjoy mischief a little bit more. When they are in their crate, they think the best game is which one can pull more stuff into the crate from outside of the crate. Pearl and Opie love sleeping on the bed/couch! They are crate trained, and working on full house training. We recommend kids 5+ years for these 2 as they may shy away from younger children. If you’re looking for a smaller dog that doesn’t shed too much, enjoy being held, will be the most loyal companions and follow you everywhere and cuddle when you let them, please look no further than Opie or Pearl. These babies are FIXED (spayed/neutered), current on parvo/distemper vaccinations, current on bordatella, current on annual rabies vaccine, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, current on dewormer, microchipped, fecal test, will receive a clean bill of health from a veterinarian. To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals out in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We do adopt in Central US and the East Coast. The adoption fee listed INCLUDES transport from Texas to the location where this animal is posted in. Transport goes to the following locations every 2-3 weeks: Albany, NY Wells and Brattleboro, VT Willington, CT Port Chester, NY Dayon and Akron, OH Grove City and Bloomsburg, PA Ridgefield and Mt Laurel, NJ White Marsh, MD and Falls Church, VA We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is best fit for your home.

Story
We adopted Lola in 2020. She was estimated to be around 5 or 6 years old. Lola has been the sweetest girl to us and just loves cuddles and snacks. However with our busy schedules and her being a senior dog it was been super difficult to care of and stay on top of her needs. Hoping to find someone who can provide her unlimited cuddles and love as we unfortunately are too busy and barely home to care for her. Our jobs are super demanding and has forced us to make such a tough decision
