Story
Hi my name is Cookee, and I'm the sweetest treat of a pup that you'll ever meet. People say I remind them of cookies and cream when I give them sweet kisses on the nose or bump up and snuggle with them when they're feeling down. I am a Dachshund-Basset mix, 8-years old, and medium sized about 30# full grown. Sitting on people's couches or laps is my favorite pastime as I get to snuggle close to the people I love, which is practically everyone! I LOVE OTHER DOGS TOO!! I definitely want a home with other dogs :) As I am a bit on the older side and lived on the streets until I was saved with my babies in my tummy. I have been living at my foster home and am ready for my forever HOME!! I will need a patient and loving family to give me a good life of exercise- LOL, playtime, treats, love, affection, and belonging. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Kevin is a favorite here at the rescue. He came to use completely terrified and would scream if you reached out toward him. Fast forward 4 months, Kevin is now excited when people come in to the office for a visit. He is still shy with new people and will let out an occasional scream, but will warm up with the right person. He will need a person who is willing to allow him time to adjust and trust in his new environment. He is heart worm positive and will go home with the medication to cure it. If you are interested in meeting him, please go to our website www.adoggie4you.org to complete an application. Kevin was born around 08/2018, weighs 21 pounds, and is $300.00 to adopt.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 29, 2023, 10:31 am

Story
In the heart of bustling San Antonio, where the streets echoed with the sounds of city life, there lived two inseparable companions named Judas Priest and Iron Maiden. They were a unique pair of dachshund/terrier mixes, each with their distinctive personalities and a bond that could weather any storm. Judas Priest, with his soulful brown eyes and a heart as warm as the Texan sun, was the elder of the two. His silky coat shimmered like polished bicolored metal :), and his gentle disposition made him the perfect match for his spirited partner. Iron Maiden, on the other hand, was a whirlwind of energy with a coat as dark as midnight. Her playful nature and boundless enthusiasm for life were contagious. Together, they were a yin and yang, perfectly complementing each other in every way. Their story began on the mean streets of San Antonio, where they faced the harsh realities of life as strays. Despite the odds, they had each other, and their unwavering love and support kept them going through thick and thin. One fateful day, a kind-hearted passerby noticed the inseparable duo, huddled together for warmth beneath a tattered cardboard box. Touched by their devotion and the spark of hope in their eyes, the Good Samaritan decided to rescue them from the streets. Judas Priest and Iron Maiden soon found themselves in a loving foster home, where they flourished. They were house trained, well-behaved, and showered their foster family with affection. However, it was clear that their bond was unbreakable, and they simply couldn't bear to be apart. Judas Priest and Iron Maiden bring boundless joy and endless laughter to their foster home, proving that love, loyalty, and the unbreakable bond between two souls could overcome even the toughest of beginnings. They are now ready for YOUR HOME!!! Adopt these two and you will seal the deal for them for the rest of their lives :) Local adoption fee is $400 (together in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $800 (together and includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)

Story
Hello. Knox here. I was recently rescued from a hoarding situation and am now looking for a foster or forever home. At my old home, there were around 50 of us living together. Because we did not get a lot of one-on-one time with people, most of us are quite shy, including me. But even though I'm shy when I first meet you, I warm up quickly and am a cuddly boy. I get along with other dogs and am used to having friends around. I am looking forward to having a home where I can get all the cuddles I missed out on previously! Please fill out an application for me if you'd like to meet, or email fosteradog@almosthomefoundation.org if you have questions.Adoption fee is $320Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation's adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence owner;(4) Have valid ID with current address;(5) Be approved by Almost Home Foundation as a suitable adoptive home; and`(6) Live in the suburbs surrounding Schaumburg (Illinois Residents only)*** Please note that Almost Home Foundation accepts only cash or checks for adoption fees; we do not accept debit or credit cards. ***

Story
Jimmy and Jetson were abandoned in the parking lot of a Walmart. They were terrified and leaning into one another for comfort. It’s clear that they are bonded and we would love to find them a forever home together. They are good with other dogs and sweet with people of all ages. They need someone to love them and see them through for the rest of their lives. Jimmy and Jetson have adorably long bodies and short, stumpy little legs. They’re a joy to watch roam around as they play with one another. Jimmy – brown and white Jetson – black and white

Story
My Requirements:-Must be only pet-Kids 10 years or olderHi, I'm Acorn and I've got a ton of personality in my little dachshund body! I've been living the high life in a foster home and they have lots to say about me:"Acorn is super sweet and loving- he gives kisses like crazy. He LOVES to cuddle with his humans. He's very smart and trainable, and does well when left alone. Acorn loves toys and chewing bones keeps him occupied. He's fully potty trained!"Sounds like I'm an affectionate little guy with people! You've heard the best about me, now here's the rest: I need to be your only pet because I do not like other animals. I love the sound of my own voice and will bark, if you have shared walls, I might not be the dog for you. Any kids in my new home should be 10 years or older. I would be an amazing backyard dog if you have a fenced in yard, but it's not a requirement. Take a chance on me, I'm an amazing little companion!

Story
Dolly is truly a charming little dog; she is thought to be a Dachshund Mix, possibly Dachshund-Black Lab. She’s a great size weighing 18 lbs, and is low to the ground like a Dachshund. Dolly is fully grown, at 3 years old. Dolly has a great personality. She loves attention and affection and will constantly seek it out. On the other hand, she can occasionally be timid and shy. She is fine with other dogs but can be intimidated by larger dogs, or dogs she is not acquainted with. She is scared of small children or those who are loud or overactive. Dolly is not an apartment-dwelling dog. She’d really enjoy a secure, fenced yard of her own, to run, play, and relax whenever she wants to do so. Dolly is fully vetted, up to date on all vaccinations, heartworm tested and on heartworm prevention, spayed and microchipped. If you are interested in meeting Dolly and possibly adding her to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895 to obtain an adoption application. Note that BAARK is located in Barrington and adopts only local to the Chicago area.

Story
When Irish eyes are smiling, does that mean they are happy? Or maybe they had too many pints at the pub? My eyes are smiling, and I am a non drinker, just want to have full disclosure here! Even though my eyes were smiling in these pictures. I was desperate for help for my little one, Lewis. You see, he was dying...full of internal and external parasites he really had no fight left in him and I knew it as his mother... so I used my Irish eyes to get us saved. AND IT WORKED!! Our lives are do amazing now, Lewis is alive and well after some very intense care, and ADOPTED INTO AN AMAZING HOME!!! I am not ever producing more babies, so it is all good! Now I get my turn for love, comfort and safety and a FOREVER HOME!! I am an adorable girl, about 50# of low-rider basset/heeler-ness. I am great with other dogs and like to play keep away! I am ready when you are, do your stuff so we can ride off into the sunset, in air conditioning, of course!
