Story
About Me Meet Missy, a devoted senior lady with a heart full of loyalty and love. At 13 years old, Missy is the definition of a faithful companion—she’ll be your shadow, always close by and ready to keep a gentle, watchful eye on her favorite person. She favors men, but she’ll happily share kisses and affection with others in the home. Missy’s daily routine is simple and sweet: she starts her mornings with a trip outside, enjoys her breakfast, and then spends the day following her foster dad around. She’s leash and potty trained, and sticks to a schedule—no accidents here! Missy loves her squeaky toys, socks, and treats, though she prefers not to share with other dogs. She’s also protective of her person and may bark to let you know she’s on duty. Missy can be selective with other dogs and likes to be in charge, but might do well with a laid-back canine companion. She also likes kids but would do best with older, considerate children as she prefers calm environments. She would do best with someone who is at home often as she does have separation anxiety and does not like to be in a crate. Missy is happiest when she’s with her person, snuggled up in bed at night or relaxing in the living room after a long day.  If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate friend who will always have your back, Missy is ready to fill your days with companionship and love. Ready to welcome Missy into your heart and home? Apply today to become Missy's person!    WHERE IS THIS PET LOCATED? The Rescue Crew is a foster-based rescue, which means all of our pets are cared for in homes throughout Minnesota.

Story
Age: 6 years old Weight: 16 lbs Dog friendly: Yes, requires companion dog in the home Cat friendly: Yes Kid friendly: Older/Considerate kids Potty trained: See below Adoption fee: $525 Meet Slim Jim 🌭! Slim Jim is a dachshund who spinal walks, wears diapers, and has somehow decided that none of those things are nearly as important as making sure everyone knows exactly what he wants at all times. 😂 He is a very typical doxie when meeting new people. Slim prefers a slow introduction and needs a minute to decide that you’re not a murderer. Please don’t take it personally. He’s six inches off the ground and the world is a scary place down there. Once he decides you’re safe though… ohhhhh buddy. You now own a wiener dog. Or, more accurately, a wiener dog owns you. Slim is a MAJOR Velcro dog. He wants to be touching you at all times and sleeping in bed is basically his reason for living. He is an absolutely incredible snuggler and will happily spend hours tucked under the blankets against you. We even have a bedside bassinet for him because sometimes we have the audacity to do things that require both hands. 😂 He’ll wiggle his little body into it and go to sleep next to us until we remember our actual job is holding Slim Jim. He lives with a giant pack of dogs and LOVES his friends. His best friend is another paralyzed dog because she is the second-best snuggler in the house. We did not conduct a competition. Slim just knows. He gets around by spinal walking and has gotten pretty damn good at it. He uses a ramp to get down from furniture and we are currently working on going UP the ramp. Slim’s current position on this is: I have seen you pick me up before. Fair. Because of his paralysis, Slim does not have control over his potty. His bladder needs to be expressed 3–4 times a day and he wears a diaper. We’ll teach his adopter everything they need to know. And yes, changing a dachshund’s diaper will eventually become so normal that you’ll find yourself having a full conversation with another adult while wiping a wiener and not even notice what your life has become. 😂 Cats are fine. Slim has no beef with the kitties. He would prefer a home without small kids. He doesn’t hate children; he just finds all the running around VERY exciting and gets himself way too worked up. Honestly, same. He also does not need a fenced yard, which feels like one of the very few perks you should get when your dog requires multiple diaper changes a day. 😂 Slim Jim needs someone who will be patient while he gets comfortable, learn his pretty simple care routine, let him sleep in bed, and understand that once he loves you, personal space is over. He’s a tiny, opinionated, diaper-wearing sausage with questionable leg function and absolutely nothing wrong with his ability to be dramatic. We love him so freaking much. ❤️🌭

Story
Your future best friend just spun her way into town, and she’s ready to steal your heart (and your leftover wet food).   Meet Lucita (or Lucy, or Lucy Lou, or just "The Potato"). Here is the lowdown on this Dachshund-mix masterpiece:    Her Signature Moves The 360-Degree Spin: Why walk in a straight line when you can twirl? Lucita literally spins through life. She can walk straight, she just prefers to put a little spice on it. (Bonus: The more relaxed she gets, the less she spins!)   The "No Teeth, No Problem" Smile: Thanks to a wild underbite, Lucita recently had 17 teeth removed. She’s fully healed and totally unfazed. She can still crunch kibble, but she will absolutely sing you the song of her people for some wet food.   The T-Rex Hops: When playtime hits, she does these adorable little bunny hops and pounces on her toys. She can get a little mouthy when she’s hyped up, but since she has no front teeth, she really just gently gums you.    Social Status & Vibes "I love humans. Other animals are... fine, I guess." — Lucita's Review of Life   The Fun Police: She currently co-exists with two dogs and three cats. She’s totally fine sharing a roof with them, but she’s not looking for a party animal. If other dogs start playing too loudly, she goes into "Mommy Mode" to break up the fun.   The Management: Lucita excels at micro-managing her humans. If you aren't giving her enough attention, she will lock eyes with you and give a tiny, dramatic whine until you fix your behavior.   The Routine Queen: She is a car-ride champion, quiets down like a dream in her kennel, and is semi-potty trained. Keep her on a good routine, and she’s golden! Because of her spunky play style, older kiddos are best.   When she isn't busy being a total comedian, Lucita just wants to be your 27-pound weighted blanket. She is perfectly content to curl up in your bed, nestle into the couch cushions, or trot along with you on a walk.   Ready to add some literal spin to your life? Apply to adopt Lucita today!        Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue. Adoption fee:  $450.00Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 3, 2026, 11:30 am

Story
Welcome Drummer to CCPAL Rescue. Drummer is an 8-year-old wire-haired Dachshund. He was adopted out by us 4 years ago. He was 4 at the time. He has been loved and bonded deeply to the woman that adopted him. He would love another home with a quieter home that would allow him to get the attention he needs and deserves. He has found himself in need of a new forever home. His owner has been put in hospice and can no longer care for him. The immediate family cannot care for him so we stepped up and will find this precious boy his new forever home. He is trying to adjust to the Rescue again. The treats from our friends in New Jersey helped him today along with all the nice gifts. His owner has been put in hospice and can no longer care for him. The immediate family cannot care for him so we stepped up and will find this precious boy his new forever home. 5.5 may sound out but it truly is middle aged in Dachshunds lifespans. They can easily live to be 17 years old. If you love the breed, you know how loyal and bonded these dogs are to their person. They are a single dog person dog. They may love other people but they are loyal to one. He sheds some but not over the top. He is a good weight and his teeth are not too bad for his age. You can tell he was cared for and that he is disoriented with his new arrangement at the Rescue. He is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states. Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions. Online applications at www.ccpalrescue.org See his cute video

Story
Welcome Annabelle to CCPAL Rescue. She is a 20-pound sweet Dachshund/Havanese is our best guess. She has a curly coat and curly hair on her tail. She is about 5 months old. She is very sweet. She was found on the streets. She doesn’t jump up, is good with other dogs, good in a kennel, very non reactive around lots of dogs and a busy shelter. She is a very mellow and lower energy dog. She is what we call “perfect” temperament in Rescue. Since she is relatively quiet, she would be fine in a condo, apartment or shared wall situation. She is sturdy and would make a great walking companion. She won’t need lots of walks or exercise to be happy. She is getting spayed soon and is topping up and getting her vaccinations. She could go to a moderately to lower active family. She would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. She is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get her to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. Her adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

Story
Welcome Cosmo to CCPAL Rescue. Cosmo is an Dachshund/Beagle is our best guess. He is about 18 pounds now and should be small sized full grown. We think 25 full grown. He is very sweet, has good eye contact and has a soft coat and down ears. He is active and the group is vocal but not over the top. He is one of the shyer pups and would be great for a family or person that is moderate to less active. He won’t be the social butterfly but will be a fantastic companion pet for someone. If a person is a quieter person wanting an easy and loveable pup that is content being with you, this is your match. A person that does not work all day every day for 5 days a week is the best for a puppy. Someone that can work from home some or has partial days or some days off to spend to help your new puppy acclimate is best. You need time to be with your puppy to socialize them and to finish off their puppy training. Cosmo was very easy to handle taking his photos and he wasn’t afraid of new people and liked being held. He sat on the table with confidence while we worked with him. He is getting daily attention and holding at the Rescue. He is getting his DHPP vaccinations and dewormed. He is good in his play group. He is kenneled in the evening and is learning to go potty on a wee pad. He is currently at the CCPAL Rescue in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. He would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. His adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.
