Story
This adorable 3-year-old Dachshund has the cutest name and an even sweeter personality! 🥹 Rexceratops came to us with IVDD (Intervertebral Disc Disease), a spinal condition that can affect mobility. He's currently experiencing a flare-up, and while he's still able to walk, his back legs aren't quite working the way they should. But don't let that fool you, this little guy still gets around and has SO much love to give! ❤️ Rexceratops is an absolute cuddle bug who loves nothing more than snuggling up with his favorite humans, and he's currently soaking up all the love and comfort of a wonderful foster home! 🥹💕

Story
Thrown out like garbage on the highway, this poor girl and several other dogs had to fend for themselves in the hot summer with no food or shelter. Thank goodness someone was kind enough to stop and help pick them up and get them to safety. She is heartworm positive so she need to go through treatment first before she can be adopted. She is sweet and kind. Loves pets and is quite. She is housetrained . If you are interest in her please email us at helpaoochrescue@g,mail.com

Story
Meet Fifa, a 4-year-old who is ready to score the ultimate goal: finding his forever home! He is completely house trained, knows all his basic commands, is easy to train, and is wonderfully calm and affectionate. Fifa’s favorite activities include snuggling with his people, napping nearby, and stretching out in a sunny spot. He isn’t much of a player—he’d much rather hang out beside you than chase a ball—and he’s perfectly content to spend the day relaxing with his favorite humans.When it’s time to hit the field, Fifa is an excellent walker and has become a real pro on leash, with one notable exception: other dogs. Seeing another dog can send him into “full match mode,” and he may pull, dart toward them, and bark, so he’ll need continued training. Off leash and with proper introductions he is happy to interact with other pups. Fifa is exceptionally gentle, easy to redirect, and has been trusted to roam freely in the house without chewing or getting into trouble.Fifa would love a family that understands his favorite game is Cuddle & Chill. He’s happiest in a calmer environment with no young kids where he can follow his people around, curl up beside them, and occasionally head outside for a little sunbathing. When life gets busy, Fifa is perfectly happy to find a quiet corner and take a nap. If your ideal teammate is affectionate, mellow, well-mannered, and always ready for a relaxing day at home, Fifa may just be the one you’ve been waiting to draft!Interested in meeting this dog?

Story
Bonaventure means `good fortune,` and it will be your good fortune if you adopt this gentle, wiggly seasoned citizen! Around 12 yrs old, he loves the outdoors and going for walks and indulges in all the wonderful scents that mother nature has to offer. Inside, he enjoys the company of other dogs and watching them play. He also does well with older kids and teens. Bonaventure has been eating two softer meals during the day and will sit by the door when it`s time for relief. Crates and dog beds are no problem.Bonaventure is a gem who had a rough beginning to his story. He can be a bit hesitant at first, but once he knows you`re on his team, he will become your loyal sidekick-- and when he does that, his good fortune will be your good fortune!Interested in meeting this dog?
