Hi. I’m Chubbs  I’m 3 and a half years old.A Dachshund.Short legs. Big heart. Even bigger personality. If you’re looking for a dog who loves people… hi, that’s me. I like kids.I like dogs.I like everyone, honestly. If you walk into the room, I will notice. If you sit down, I will come over. If you’re giving out love, I will absolutely be first in line. I’m the kind of dog who wants to be part of the family. Not just nearby. Right there with you. On the couch, by your side, following you from room to room just to make sure I don’t miss anything important. Important things include snacks.And cuddles.Mostly cuddles. I’ve got that classic Dachshund charm. A little curious. A little silly. Very devoted. Once I’m yours, I’m really yours. I’m already up to date on my shots and I’m neutered, so I’m ready to go. No waiting. Just bring me home and let me settle right into your life like I’ve been there all along. They say I’m sweet and loving. I think that just means I know how to make people feel good. And I plan to do that every single day. And I’m ready to be your favorite part of coming home. ##2680250##

Story
Earle the Pearl: A Tale of Resilience and Joy Earle the Pearl is a delightful 20-pound bundle of energy, with a heart as big as his personality. At just two years old, Earle's journey began in November 2025 when he was found abandoned, tied to a fence outside a vet's office. Despite this rough start, Earle hasn't let it dampen his spirit. Personality and Activities Earle is the epitome of a “happy-go-lucky” pup. He loves to dive headfirst into activities, whether it's wrestling with his shepherd foster brother or snuggling on the sofa with his pittie foster sisters. Earle thrives on companionship and prefers to be in the midst of the action. Crate Training and Mischief While Earle isn't fond of being crated, it’s a necessary measure for his safety when his foster family is out. He can manage about four hours before he starts plotting his escape, accompanied by a serenade of canine tunes. When not crated, Earle is a curious explorer—checking out table tops, counters, and even attempting online shopping! Play and Exercise Earle is happiest with a playmate, whether it’s a fellow dog or an active family member. He enjoys exploring the fenced backyard and romping in the snow, especially when decked out in a cozy sweater. With his love for running and exceptional vertical leap, Earle needs space to expend his energy. Sleeping and House Training Earle sleeps comfortably in a crate in the bedroom at night, though he dreams of snuggling under the covers with humans and other dogs. He’s made significant progress with house training, but supervision is key due to his small bladder. His initial challenges were compounded by hookworms, but he's on the mend. Ideal Home Earle would flourish in a home with a yard and an active family. Older children and/or a canine sibling would be ideal companions for this lively pup. While his breed mix remains a mystery, his Dachshund-like physique and unique stature make him a distinctive member of any family. If you're ready to welcome a dog who’s “all in” with love and enthusiasm, Earle the Pearl might be your perfect match. Complete an application today to meet this extraordinary dog! www.k9ei.dog

Meet Ducky~ about 6 months old, not fully sure what breeds, any guesses? Heard daschund, corgi, basset. He is good with dogs, very playful and looks to the older dogs for guidance. We dont know about cats. He is great with kids, Hlhe has attached himself to the families daughter. He is in a home with 4 kids age 10 and up and 2 dogs. Housebreaking: Accidents have slowed down but they still happen. Yesterday we were accident free right until bed time. Keeps crate dry, goes in without a fuss and sleeps until it’s time to get up. We are working on leash training. Doesn’t pull but doesn’t want to walk. He loves exploring the back yard. He’s very sweet. Loves to snuggle, be held like a baby and get pats on his belly. He has lots of energy but settles down when it’s time. Has a lot of fun playing with the other dogs and the kids. LOVES tug of war. If you would like to meet him please go to our website Www.atailof4paws.org and fill out our adoption application
