Story
Chaplin is a delightful double dapple (double merle) mini dachshund. She was a stray languishing in the Hondo shelter before pulled by God’s Dogs Rescue. Chaplin got her name because of the distinctive little “mustache” ( ) on her upper lip. Despite her diminutive size (11.4#), she is 100% dachshund! She loves to play, to chase, and to burrow. No pile of unfolded laundry is safe! Finding her in the clothes pile becomes akin to a “Where’s Waldo” puzzle. Given her coloring pattern, she is hard of hearing. She has minimal hearing in her L ear only. Chaplin is ready for her forever home that will adore her for the treasure that she is. Attributes: Loves children Special needs - hard of hearing Local adoption fee is $200(in TX)Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.  Meet Waldo Waldo is a sweet, soulful 7-year-old Dachshund with the kind of personality that instantly makes you feel at home. He adores curling up under blankets, snoozing in a cozy dog bed (or yours!), and spending quality time relaxing in a recliner with his people. His gentle, affectionate nature makes him a wonderful companion. Waldo gets along well with dogs of all sizes and has a calm, loving demeanor. He’s truly a cuddle-bug who just wants to be close to his humans. Medically, Waldo has Degenerative Valve Disease (advanced) and is currently classified as Stage B2. He is stable and doing well on Vetmedin 1.25 mg, one tablet twice daily, which he takes without issue. His medication is very manageable and costs approximately $125 for 100 tablets through Chewy. Waldo recently had a dental cleaning with five problematic teeth removed and is feeling much better. A few things to note: Waldo can be a bit of an escape artist, so he’ll need to be supervised when outside. He is looking for a home with no children under the age of 10, where he can enjoy a calm, predictable environment. Waldo may have some medical needs, but he has so much love to give. If you’re looking for a devoted little companion who will happily snuggle beside you and warm your heart, Waldo may be your perfect match. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Medical Notes: Neutered Vaccinated Dewormed Microchipped Heartworm Negative ProHeart 12 Injection Senior Exam + Bloodwork (all levels within normal limits) - diagnosed with Degenerative Valve Disease (advanced)  of the heart, maintained on Vetmedin 1.25 mg - 1 tablet orally twice a day (costs $124.78 through Chewy.com for 100 tablets) Dental Cleaning with 5 problematic teeth being removed Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 25, 2026, 2:42 pm

Ever since he was taken to our vet. Now he sits in boarding still pretending to not notice that nice people are trying to help him feel loved again. Finally lifting his head a minute when he hears voice coming to adopt a different dog. When they leave his little head drops back down. Sineed time to recover.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Hank “Tater”!   Hank Tater is the definition of easygoing charm. With his adorable low-rider Basset-style build and sweet, laid-back personality, Hank is the kind of dog who instantly makes himself at home wherever he goes. He is easy to handle, friendly, and wonderfully relaxed, making him a great companion for both first-time and experienced dog owners.   Hank is a smart boy who is crate trained and enjoys having a cozy space of his own. He’s incredibly affectionate and loves being close to his people — one of his favorite things to do is gently rest his head on your neck for extra snuggles.   Despite his Basset-inspired look, Hank will surprise you with his voice — instead of the traditional howl, he has a cute little “poodle-style” bark that perfectly matches his playful personality.
