Story
At about 8 years old, Tod is a distinguished Corgi–Chihuahua mix with the shortest little legs and a surprisingly big personality tucked into his sturdy, compact frame. He’s equal parts gentleman and character - a thoughtful, independent little guy who knows exactly who he is and would very much like to be appreciated for it.Tod came back to rescue with some history, but in his foster home he has been nothing short of wonderful. Over the past several months, he’s proven himself to be attentive, responsive, and delightfully easy to live with. He’s housebroken, quiet, good in the car, listens well, and settles beautifully in his crate. He truly thrives when life is calm, consistent, and predictable. He’s the kind of dog who quietly fits into your routine and somehow makes it better.Like many dogs who’ve had their routines disrupted, he can be a bit reserved when meeting new people - he prefers polite introductions and a little time to decide you’re worthy - but once you’re in, you’re in. Tod becomes deeply loyal and wonderfully devoted. He’s very much a “my person” kind of dog who will happily coexist nearby, keeping you company with his steady, reassuring presence.Tod is reportedly cat-friendly (though his foster doesn’t have cats to confirm), and he would do best in a home without young children. He could potentially live with another calm, independent dog in an experienced home, but truthfully? He shines brightest as the only dog, soaking up the peace and the quiet attention.He would love a home with a yard to explore on his adorable little legs, a couple of dependable meals a day, and people who appreciate a dog with charm, independence, and a whole lot of heart. He’s not needy or chaotic - he’s cool, composed, and quietly charismatic.Tod isn’t looking to be everyone’s dog. He’s looking to be someone’s dog. And for the right person, he’s going to be absolutely irresistible.If you’d like to take Tod home, please fill out an adoption application at this link – https://animalalliesrescue.org/dog-application. The adoption fee is $150 and covers all expenses needed to prepare dogs like this one for their forever homes. By the time you meet them, they’ve already been spayed/neutered (if age-appropriate) and microchipped. They’ve been checked by a veterinarian and are up to date on necessary vaccinations, including Rabies and DHLPP. They have also been tested for heartworm and tick-borne diseases and have start

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
Name: Monkey Sex: Female Estimated Age: About 9 years old Best Guess for Breed: Chihuahua/Dachshund Mix Weight: About 15 lbs Lives With: Dogs, cats and all people (including kids)! Housebroken? She’s potty trained! Special Medical Considerations:  Monkey has degenerative heart disease and is considered a hospice case, with an estimated 1–2 years ahead of her. She takes daily medication and will need two specialist visits per year. Monkey was rescued from a shelter in North Carolina, and we are so grateful she’s now safe and cozy in a loving foster home in the DC area. Monkey is a happy, gentle sweetheart who adores people and gets along beautifully with other dogs, puppies, and even cats. She’s mastered the art of getting comfy on the couch with her humans and would love to join you for leisurely walks and neighborhood strolls. Her favorite things? Belly rubs, mealtime, and burrowing under the covers at night to be your own personal, snuggly heater. Don’t let her sweet gray face fool you — she still gets playful bursts of energy, complete with zoomies and games of catch with her favorite mouse toy! Monkey is potty trained, does wonderfully in an apartment setting, and is perfectly content relaxing at home while you’re out running errands. She’s truly the best mix of playful and peaceful companionship. Monkey does have degenerative heart disease and is considered a hospice case, with an estimated 1–2 years ahead of her. She takes daily medication and will need two specialist visits per year. We know this means her time may be shorter than we wish — but we also know it can be incredibly meaningful. Monkey is looking for a compassionate adopter who is ready to open their heart to a hospice dog and give her the love, comfort, and stability she deserves for the rest of her life. In return, she will offer endless devotion, warmth, and tail wags every single day. Like all dogs, Monkey will thrive with continued positive reinforcement, mental enrichment, gentle exercise, and lots of patience and love. There is no adoption fee for Monkey thanks to a generous volunteer donation, which covers her vaccines, spay, collar, transport to DC, and foster care. She is up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines. Monkey doesn’t need perfection — she just needs her person. Could you be the one to give this very special girl the soft landing she deserves?       March 1, 2026, 10:08 am

We adopted Festus in 2022. He's been a good company for us, but I travel every couple of months, and it has costed me quite a bit paying for a pet boarder and a walker when I go into the office. He's very good around children and very loyal. Festus will be a good companion for a dog lover who doesn't have to travel as much.

📌 Important Adoption Information All of our dogs are currently living in private shelters or foster homes in South Korea. Once an adoption is approved, dogs will travel to the United States through legal and approved international transport procedures. Video calls are available prior to adoption, and adopters can communicate with our rescue team in real time through our official organization and app-based messaging channels throughout the process. Meet Lylla :) • She rides so well that if you open the car door she gets in by herself, and she doesn't get car sick at all. If you like traveling she would make a really good buddy! • She loves playing with other dogs, running in the park, cuddles, kisses, sleeping with you, walks, hikes, and delicious food (fruit, sweet potatoes, pumpkin, cheese, meat) and treats! • Personality: She is affectionate, full of energy, loves to have fun, and adapts well to new things. She likes both people and dogs and cats (she'll play with them). She also loves to play in the park or the mountains. When she's excited, she'll purr to show her excitement. She loves to be held - she wants to fall asleep with you in your arms. She's the best dog ever! 💙 Adoption Fee Information The adoption fee already includes all major expenses, such as: International transportation, Customs and export documentation, Medical care (spay surgery, vaccinations, health certificate, deworming, etc.) For this reason, we kindly ask that you refrain from requesting a breakdown or negotiation of the adoption fee. Your support directly helps us continue rescuing and caring for dogs in need, and we sincerely appreciate your understanding.
