Story
Penny When I first came to the animal control place, I was covered with spots! And to make matters worse, my mom and sisters were covered with spots too! I guess we all had the same thing, but I didn’t think that we were that scary that people wouldn’t want to touch us or anything! Then we came into the God’s Dogs and started getting treatment for ringworms, which isn’t’ really worms but a fungal infection on our skin due to our previously poor living conditions. We are still taking a pill and getting baths for our skin, but we shouldn’t be contagious anymore. So, we have been here for 3 weeks now, and our spots are getting smaller, and our hair is coming in nicely. We still don’t have a super full coat, but it is getting there, but what we lack in hair cover, we make up for in personality! My spots are slowing going away and they don’t itch or anything. So, there is no need to be afraid of my spots. I am a happy girl and love to play! I am the middle size of the sisters and am the one with the straight tail. Not sure how that happened. But it doesn’t bother me much anyhow as I don’t look at it that much. I love to play with toys and run. I love to run and bounce around. It is a fun game to play with my siblings, especially keeping away with toys. I am a chihuahua dachshund mix foster mom thinks and since we don’t know anything about our dad, our breed is only a guess. But I have these huge radar ears, that I can hear every time you open the refrigerator door. I am already fixed and my weight on 5.5.25 was only 5 pounds, so I will be on the small side. But good things come in little packages, right? I am over 3 months old now and would like to find myself a permanent home soon! Will it be with you? $250 In State Adoption Fee (in Texas) $500 Out of State Fee (includes Transportation to your area) $50 Temporary fuel surcharge.

Spots! Spots and more Spots!! When I first came to the animal control place, I was covered with spots! And to make matters worse, my mom and sisters were covered with spots too! I guess we all had the same thing, but I didn’t think that we were that scary that people wouldn’t want to touch us or anything! Then we came into the God’s Dogs and started getting treatment for ringworms, which isn’t’ really worms but a fungal infection on our skin due to our previously poor living conditions. We are still taking a pill and getting baths for our skin, but we shouldn’t be contagious anymore. So, we have been here for 3 weeks now, and our spots are getting smaller, and our hair is coming in nicely. We still don’t have a super full coat, but it is getting there, but what we lack in hair cover, we make up for in personality! I am a happy girl and love to play! I am the smallest of the sisters and am the quickest, I think! Anyhow, I love to play with toys and try to sneak them away from the siblings. My spots are slowing going away and they don’t itch or anything. So, there is no need to be afraid of my spots. I am a chihuahua dachshund mix I believe, and I have mom’s curly puggy tail too so there has to be some pug in our background somewhere. We don’t know dad, so our breed is only a guess. I am already fixed and my weight on 5.5.25 was only 4#10, so I will be on the small side. But good things come in little packages, right? I am over 3 months old now and would like to find myself a permanent home soon!

Story
Name: Angel Breed: Terrier/American Pit Bull Gender: Female Age: 7 months Weight: 29.2 lbs.....she is an eater While my halo might be a little crooked sometimes, my name says it all. I'm mostly an Angel and will be a blessing to any family that loves me and protects me from the mailboxes I see on our walks. Hey I didn't mean to bump it... :) I love to play outside. I love to play tug with my other doggie friends or with my humans. If I'm by myself outside it's ok; I'm pretty good about entertaining myself. I am very smart. So smart I know how to trick my foster mom into giving me more treats. I know how to sit...that one was easy. I'm learning down and spin. I'm also learning how to stay in place. I'm a little scared of going in the car. It might be because the last time I was in a car I was dumped somewhere. But once I'm in the car I'm ok. I've even started looking out of the window and I kinda like to feel the wind. Just be patient with me. BTW I love pupcups. I haven't learned about the cheese tax or the ice tax but I definitely know about the blueberry tax. I love blueberries. I'll even wait by the fridge until someone opens it. So, if you can promise to always stock the fridge with blueberries and play tug with me then I think it's a match made in heaven. (Get it...I'm Angel/Heaven). Oh don't forget about the pupcups :) Good with kids Good with dogs Never met a cat Potty trained Crate trained (with treats) Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
