Story
Hershey was surrendered when her owner had to move and could not take her along. Hershey is calm, quiet, and very low maintenance. She keeps her kennel clean and is happiest parked on a soft bed or right in your lap. She is definitely a lap dog! She loves playing with her squeaky ball and her stuffed Lamb Chop toy. She does not go looking for entertainment and is content just being near her person and relaxing.She can be a little shy in new environments and does not enjoy a lot of commotion. She may get nippy if someone tries to pick her up, so she needs a home that respects her space and lets her come to people on her own terms. Once she settles in, she is affectionate and will happily become your shadow.Hershey is leash trained, crate trained, and potty trained. She is very skittish outside and will need slow, patient introductions to new outdoor environments. She also really dislikes wearing a halter when outside, so her future home should be prepared to work with her gently and help build her confidence over time.Hershey loves treats and will always show up when food is involved. She would do best on a structured diet to help her get to a healthier weight. She can be protective of her food and toys. She is currently learning to play fetch — she enthusiastically chases after the ball but has not quite figured out bringing it back yet! She also enjoys sitting by the patio door and barking at bunnies and squirrels.She does not need another dog and is perfectly fine on her own. She has lived with kids before, but she would do best in a calm, low-traffic home without a lot going on. Hershey is an easy companion for someone looking for a quiet, steady presence and a dedicated lap dog.

Story
Ahoy there! Captain Crumbs reporting for duty. 🫡 I’m a 3-year-old Dachshund/Terrier mix, professionally trained in following my humans from room to room and conducting important neighborhood inspections. At the perfect portable size, I’m basically the canine version of carry-on luggage—ready for road trips, errands, adventures, and any mission that involves snacks. I’m a sweet guy with a curious little brain and just enough energy to keep life interesting. I love walks, yard patrols, and investigating every blade of grass like I’m solving a mystery. If you need a sidekick, I’m already three steps behind you making sure you don’t wander off without me. Now, I do have one slightly embarrassing hobby: leaving my signature in places I probably shouldn’t. Look, a lot of dogs have passed through my foster home, and somebody has to make sure history remembers I was here. The humans call it "marking." I call it interior decorating. Thankfully, I’ve been improving every day, and I wear my fashionable belly band when unsupervised like the confident trendsetter I am. When adventure time is over, I transform into a world-class cuddle expert. I love snuggling on the couch, sleeping through the night, and keeping my crate clean. Although between us, if you offered me a spot in your bed, I wouldn’t exactly file a complaint. I get along great with the small dogs in my foster home, but I’d also be perfectly happy soaking up all the attention as your one and only. I’ve done well with kids, though I can get a little mouthy during playtime. Nothing serious — I just occasionally forget that human fingers aren’t chew toys. Older kids who understand my goofy ways would be best. I’m not a huge barker, but I do believe every delivery driver deserves a formal announcement of their arrival. I may also join the neighborhood dog choir if everyone else starts singing. Team spirit matters. Because I love my people so much, I’d thrive with a family that’s home more often than not. I’m still learning the rules of house life and will do best with humans who can continue teaching me good manners, giving me daily exercise, and helping me channel my curiosity into productive activities instead of unauthorized home inspections. One more thing: I’m currently going through heartworm treatment and doing great on my road to recovery. My foster mom can tell you all about it. So if you're looking for a sweet, silly, curious little sidekick with a gentle heart, excellent cuddle credentials, and only a minor obsession with leaving his mark on the world, I’m your guy. Signed, Captain Crumbs 🐾 Professional Explorer • Amateur Interior Decorator • Full-Time Best Friend ***** Captain Crumbs is from Texas. This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease. Activity must be restricted for several weeks during recovery. RSR will cover the full cost of treatment. RSR will provide heartworm preventatives until the retest is due. The adopter will be responsible for scheduling the retest and obtaining any follow-up prescriptions through their veterinarian.

Story
Hubby is naturally shy, and loud or very busy environments—especially with noisy children—would be overwhelming for him. He’s also a little too curious about cats, so a cat-free home would be best. In a calm, patient setting, though, Hubby’s personality is already starting to peek through in the most adorable ways. As he comes out of his shell, Hubby shows off full-body wiggles, hides around corners just to peek at you, and will even army crawl over for food and treats—a sure sign that trust is building. Every small step feels like a big victory with this sweet boy. Hubby came from a crowded shelter in Texas and is still learning that the world can be kind. He needs time, warmth, and patience to truly blossom into the dog he’s meant to be. With gentle encouragement and a steady routine, his confidence will continue to grow. If you have a quiet home and a soft spot for sensitive souls, Hubby is ready to reward your patience with loyalty, wiggles, and a whole lot of love. Hubby is from Texas. Hubby is from Texas.

Story
Meet Eevee! Eevee is a sweet, gentle girl who is settling into foster care beautifully and showing more of her personality each day. While she can be a little timid at first, she is incredibly kind, curious, and eager to be near her people. One of Eevee's favorite things is keeping an eye on what her family is doing. She especially enjoys following her foster mom around the house and likes being close to her trusted people. She is very observant and alert to her surroundings, taking everything in as she learns that the world is a safe place. Eevee has done wonderfully with house training and has consistently used the yard for all of her potty needs. She has a great appetite, enjoys her meals, drinks water well, and is taking her medications like a champ. She has met men and done well, including spending time with her foster family's stepson. Eevee has also gotten along nicely with the resident dog and has enjoyed spending time together in the yard. While she can bark a little when left alone, she has shown that she can settle in a crate when needed. Out in the yard, Eevee has shown a lovely balance of independence and companionship. She enjoys relaxing on her own but is equally happy to spend time with the people and dogs around her. She has been calm around passing people and dogs and has not shown any reactivity. At night, Eevee settles in calmly and rests comfortably when a person is nearby. She is a quiet, thoughtful dog who seems content simply being part of the family. Eevee is from Texas. ---- This pet is currently undergoing treatment for heartworm disease. Activity must be restricted for several weeks during recovery. RSR will cover the full cost of treatment.

Story
Rolando is an easygoing, affectionate pup who loves spending time with his people and canine friends. He absolutely adores other dogs and would be thrilled to have a playful companion to romp around with. His favorite part of the day is greeting his foster mom when she gets home from work, and he's always ready for some playtime, attention, and cuddles. With his sweet nature and laid-back personality, Rolando is just a joy. He has not been exposed to cats or young children in his current foster home, so slow, thoughtful introductions will help set him up for success in a new environment. As a young dog, Rolando is still learning the basics and will benefit from continued leash training and general manners training. With consistency and patience, he's sure to blossom into a wonderful companion. If you're looking for a loving, dog-friendly pup with a gentle heart and playful spirit, Rolando may be the one for you! Rolando is from Texas.
