Story
Meet Freshman! 🐾💙 Freshman is a sweet Dachshund mix who may be a little shy at first, but underneath that initial hesitation is a pup who is learning that the world can be a safe and wonderful place. Freshman appreciates a little patience and time to get comfortable with new people and new surroundings. Once he feels secure, he can begin to show more of his personality and let his sweet side shine. He would love a calm, patient family who understands that building trust takes time and is willing to let him set the pace.

Story
Meet Oscar 🐾 Oscar is a one-of-a-kind little guy who is part Dachshund, part Chihuahua part Pittie, part mystery, and 100% lovable! With his long body and short little legs, he’s basically a hot dog with a Pittie smile. 😂❤️ Oscar is super affectionate, playful, and cuddly. At just barely a year old he has plenty of energy and loves to play, but when playtime is over, he’s more than happy to curl up with his favorite person. He also does wonderfully with other dogs and sleeps like a champ in his crate. 💤 He’s mostly potty trained and is learning more every day. He’s also apparently pursuing a career in interior design—he loves rearranging the dog beds and toys to create what he believes is the perfect layout. 😂 Oscar does have a mischievous side. He LOVES food and may occasionally jump on tables or go looking for snacks. In fact, this little genius has figured out how to open Tupperware! We believe some of this comes from his history of food insecurity, so he’s still learning that he doesn’t have to worry about where his next meal is coming from. ❤️ Oscar is sweet, silly, energetic, affectionate, and just the right amount of naughty. He’s looking for a family who will give him patience, structure, cuddles, playtime, and most importantly, the chance to finally feel safe and loved. Oscar may rearrange your furniture, steal your heart, and possibly figure out your Tupperware… but we promise he’s worth it. 🐶❤️ Local adoption fee is $350 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Needing to rehome my best friend with my first child on the way. He’s been with me for the last 9 years since he was a puppy. He needs to be with a solo couple with no kids or other dogs. He would also thrive with a single person who works from home or just wants a buddy. He’s super loyal to his owner which causes issues with other dogs and or activities that he thinks is threatening towards the owner. He did have IVDD surgery which cost around 12 grand I paid for about 3 years ago. He moves around really well and even runs full speed. I’ve had him on pets smarts insurance plan since he was around 3 with all his shots and everything up to date every year. I hate to put him up for adoption because he’s my best friend, but I have to do what’s best for my future family.

Story
Wendell is a young VERY SWEET daschund mix so has short little legs. He is mixed with who knows how many other breeds but he is cute as heck!  Wendell has come to us Heartworm positive and has entered the treatment phase of that process. He also does have an old injury to his hindquarters that will require an FHO surgery once he is through the HW treatment so probably early Winter of 2026. He also has a neurological issue from that injury (the vet and surgeon agree that he was probably hit by a car and not treated) that does effect his sciatica and causes his little butt to shift out from underneath him sometimes. But please know that NONE of this stops this little guy!!! He is an active, fun little dude who seems good with other dogs and interested in cats. He would probably make a great family pet and is suuuuch a good boy! He is also crate trained and does great in one! The one thing it is important to note for Wendell is that he does have some fecal incontinence which is probably a direct result of his injury and will most likely not improve which is sad because he is only three. BUT. We have learned that if Wendell has a doggie door he can use to access a yard (while you are home of course) then he does seem to have enough notice and time to get out to the yard to potty. This would probably not make him appropriate for an apartment setting though since it would be challenging for them to have a doggie door and a yard. If that were the case, we think he could be in an apartment. Also know that Bonaparte's would be happy to continue the cost of treating his HW and also the surgery when we got to that point.October 15, 2026, 12:03 pm

Story
Miss Mavis is as sweet as your grandma! This beautiful baked bean could fit in your bag and go to work with you! She’s the sweetest little land seal this side of the Cumberland River and is ready to make you her person! Mavis very much enjoys walks as well as rolling in the grass like a little bug. She has whale eyes at first with new people and can read a little shy, but with a day or two, opens up like a sweet rose! She is also a fan of zoomies, so if you have a yard, an obstacle course could prove very entertaining for both of you! She prefers the calm life, and that includes other dog’s energies as well. She gets a little flustered with overstimulated or intense dogs, so peaceful pals are best! She gets along with dogs perfectly and is cohabitating with a few of all sizes and ages in her foster home. If you have kitty friends at home, Mavis has proven non-confrontational with her whiskered encounters. Need to take a road trip? No problem! Mavis likes the 4 wheel life as well, and prefers to take a back seat, literally! And of course, like any good dog, she’s a lover of all things snacks. Meet Mavis today and start living your best life together tomorrow!

Story
My sweet boy is having problems at home now with my mom’s health declining and recent accidental puppies. The back story from an animal over: I found his dad a few years ago and as it goes wound up with Tobi and his sister. They are a little over a year old but with me being my moms sole provider and her health declining he uses puppy pads and is terrified of outside or people. He is a really sweet dog but my mother has been in the hospital and now looking at Palliative care so with my limited money I have litter puppies and he is not doing well with them. He has never attacked people before but tonight, while I’m at work, he had an incident with the puppies. This kills me to do but I need him to go to a loving home to give him the attention he deserves. His full name is Tobias Charles, yes he knows it too. He is a really sweet boy and needs a loving home without the chaos of the mental decline for my mom and the stimulation of the puppies it seems.
