Story
🐾 TEDDY: YOUR COPILOT IS READY. 🚗 Big smile. Little guy. Excellent taste in people. And a standing reservation at the passenger-seat window. Meet Teddy, a 10-month-old Dachshund mix who believes life is better with friends, car rides, a cozy couch, and someone to love. He’s a doggie-daycare regular who genuinely enjoys hanging out with other dogs, knows his commands, and is ready to put his kennel days behind him. Teddy has the smile of a dog who thinks every day is going to be a great day. And honestly? We’d love to help him make that happen. This handsome boy has already had a couple of false starts, through no fault of his own. He was adopted as a puppy, but his previous home became a stressful environment for him, and he developed a significant fear of one member of the household. Despite efforts to help him adjust, it ultimately wasn't the right fit, and Teddy is back with us looking for a home where he can feel safe and settle in for good. Here's the important part: Teddy has plenty of wonderful dog to him. He just needs the right environment to let it shine. When Teddy is comfortable, he's a happy, social, affectionate young guy. He loves other dogs and heads off to doggie daycare to spend time with his canine buddies. He enjoys car rides, likes being around his people, and wants to be part of whatever is going on. Going somewhere? Teddy's interested. Taking a ride? He's ready. Hanging out on the couch? He can make that work, too. He’s still young, with plenty of life ahead of him and lots more to learn. He knows his commands and is kennel trained, so he already has a few useful life skills under his belt. Now he needs someone willing to help him build confidence at his own pace. Teddy would do best in a calmer home with a patient, kind person who understands that trust isn't something you can rush. He needs time to settle in, learn his new routine, and feel secure. A home without the kind of stress that overwhelmed him before will give him the best chance to show off that big personality and bigger smile. He also enjoys the company of other dogs, so a compatible canine friend could be a lovely bonus. Teddy isn't looking for a perfect person. He's looking for a person who will give him the time and understanding he needs to feel at home. In return, you get a funny, loving, dog-friendly little sidekick who may well appoint himself your official copilot, couch companion, and supervisor of all household activities. At just 10 months old, Teddy deserves to grow up knowing that home means forever. No more starting over. No more wondering where he belongs. Just a safe place, a kind human, a few adventures, and a lifetime of being somebody's very good boy. Teddy is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, and kennel trained. 🚗 His bags are packed. His smile is ready. Who's taking Teddy home? 🐾

Dewey Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   Energy level:  medium Potty training:  pee pads Fenced yard:  not required Shared walls:  suitable People:  all Dogs:  all Other:  none Overview Dewey is an incredibly sweet 1-2 year old tan purebred dachshund who just wants love! He loves to cuddle and will happily follow you around everywhere you go. He is a little nosey and loves to snoop around wherever he has access, keeping things entertaining. Environment Dewey is very content to be left to his own devices and is a happy camper in his crate. He would do well in a home with shared walls as he is not too noisy. A fenced yard is not required for him, as he loves walks and is great on a leash. He is fine riding in the car. Pets & People He can be a bit shy with new people at first, but he warms up quickly and has no issues with biting or snapping. He gets along great with other dogs, playing all the time with his foster brother (though he does bark at other dogs on his walks). He has no resource guarding issues around food. Health & Special Needs Dewey has no medical needs. He uses pee pads but sometimes marks spots in the house, so some patience and continued reinforcement with potty training will be helpful. Location Dewey is currently being fostered in Miami, FL. Please email applications@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or submit an application at the button below. Dewey’s adoption fee is $450.00.

Louie Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   Energy level:  medium Potty training:  trained (with quirks) Fenced yard:  required Shared walls:  suitable People:  all Dogs:  selective- bonded to Fritz WILL BE ADOPTED TOGETHER  Other:   Overview Meet Louie, a sweet 8-year-old, 30-pound Wild Boar Dachshund. Louie came to Little Paws as an owner surrender when his previous owner could no longer devote enough time to him due to their schedule. He is an incredibly affectionate boy who loves to give kisses, get the zoomies, and make sure he is touching you at all times. Environment Louie has a medium energy level, enjoying short walks or playtime, and is great on a leash. He will be adopted with Fritz who requires a secure fenced yard due to a high prey drive and flight risk. He considers his crate to be his happy place and is very content when left to his own devices. He is not too noisy and doesn’t bark much. While he is potty trained, he is a bit of a shy pooper and may try to hide or go in the house if he isn't being watched closely outside. Pets & People Louie is very bonded with his brother Fritz. He is exceptionally sweet with his foster family and during transport, though he hasn't been tested with strangers yet. He loves attention and will playfully nip when he gets super excited, sometimes giving a drive-by foot lick. He is highly food motivated and can eat quickly, occasionally trying to push Fritz away from his food, so he requires supervision and guidance during mealtimes. Health & Special Needs Louie's foster noted that he is a bit bowlegged but it doesn’t seem to cause any issues. He lays down and is very relaxed during car rides. Location Louie is available for adoption from Hendersonville, NC. Please email applications@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above.   The adoption fee for Louie is $375.00 Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 23, 2026, 11:30 pm

Libby Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying.   Energy level:  high Potty training:  pee pads Fenced yard:  required Shared walls:  unsuitable People:  adults preferred (needs time to warm up) No small children.  Dogs:  all (prefers another playful dachshund) Other:  requires twice-daily anxiety medication Overview Meet Libby, an adorable 2-year-old, 9.8-pound mini Red Boar Dachshund with a huge heart. Libby came to Little Paws after her previous owners gave her away on Facebook. Though she needs a little time to settle in, she is a wonderful, affectionate companion who loves to play and is a fantastic cuddler when sleeping with you at night. Environment Libby has high energy and loves daily walks and playtime. She is a great walker on a leash and loves exploring the outdoors. She would love a fenced yard to run and play safely, but would do well if exercised regularly on a leash and harness. Because she can be quite chatty and bark loudly when strangers approach, she is not suitable for living arrangements with shared walls like apartments or townhomes. She relies on pee pads and is not currently crate trained, crying the entire time if placed in a kennel. Pets & People Libby does wonderfully with other dogs of all sizes and loves playing with her foster's 2-year-old dachshund. Another playful dog in the home helps greatly with her anxiety and would be her ideal setup. With people, Libby needs about two days to warm up and prefers women, as men have not always been kind to her in her past. We will not place her with small children. While she barks loudly at strangers to protect herself, she has done wonderfully at large adoption events when given patience and time. She can be greedy with treats and eats separately from other pets. Health & Special Needs Libby is currently on anxiety medication which she needs to take twice a day, though her foster believes she may be able to wean off of them once she settles into a stable forever home. She is still learning how to ride comfortably in the car and gets nervous, doing best when secured in a dog car seat. Location Libby is available for adoption from West Columbia, SC. Please email DeeAnn Jones at  deeann.jones2010@gmail.com  with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above.   The adoption fee for Libby is $400.00  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 23, 2026, 11:30 pm

Betsy Bio Please ensure you understand and can meet the needs of this dog before applying. Energy level: moderate Potty training: pee pads and goes outside on a schedule Fenced yard: yes, required Shared walls: not suitable People: adults and older children Dogs: dogs her age/size or the only dog Other: currently doing well on a weight management plan   Overview Betsy has a personality that fills any room she walks into. This sweet 3-year-old long-haired red mix is game for just about anything life has to offer, as long as she gets to be part of it.   Betsy  came to Little Paws after the heartbreaking loss of her owner. She deserves nothing less than a loving forever home, and she's ready to pour every bit of her affection into the right family—she’s waiting with many kisses.    Environment Betsy  has moderate energy levels and loves her daily adventures. She happily keeps pace with big dogs on woodland walks and is a joy on leash. She'll need a securely fenced yard to roam and burn off that enthusiasm. She uses pee pads indoors and is still working toward fully outdoor potty habits, so patience and consistency will help her get there.   S he is currently gated into a large area when left alone. When her foster leaves, she does protest. She's happiest with canine housemates around. Because she can be chatty, she'll do best in a home without shared walls.   Betsy  is also currently on a weight management plan; a combination of regular exercise and a weight control diet is already showing results, and she just needs to shed a few more pounds to reach her healthy weight. Her new family will want to keep that momentum going.   Pets & People Betsy  has settled into a multi-dog household. She's social with her canine crew but would do best with a dog her size and around her age. She's a little rambunctious for older and smaller dogs. With people, she can be wary when meeting strangers on the street. She does have some separation anxiety so someone home more often than not would be ideal. She does best with older children because she’s a very food-motivated girl and small hands holding snacks could be tempting for her.   Location Betsy  is available for adoption from Christianbsburg, VA. Please email Juliejohnson@littlepawsdr.org with any questions or complete an adoption application at the button above. The adoption fee for Betsy is $375.00.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.October 23, 2026, 11:30 pm
