She has quite a story and has been through so much. We received an urgent plea from a county shelter to save her. Poor Daisy was a stray in a neighborhood for weeks and the saddest part is she was born with luxating patella's aka her knees were out of the joint. It was so painful to watch her even walk when we rescued her. The fact this scared dog was a stray with this deformity broke our heart. Fast forward to today our rescue paid to have her surgery done and it was a success. Daisy is doing great is no and is no pain anymore and very happy Daisy is nervous at first and is a typical chihuahua, fearful at first and then strongly protective and loving. Daisy loves to cuddle on our extra large pet bed we have. She is healthy and loves our foster dad dearly. We are looking for that special perfect family with a fenced in yard and love and empathy for our girl Daisy to give her a forever home. Daisy is estimated to be about 3 years and is 14lb. Daisy is a female tri color chihuahua mix. She is spayed, up to date on all her shots, heartworm flea preventatives, dewormed and microchipped!  Please only apply if you are willing to be patient and let her decompress. Daisy is the definition of perseverance and hope. We love her so much and we know you'll love her too Daisy is housetrained and great with dogs and cats. Daisy's adoption donation is only 300.00!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Sally is the sweetest girl! She tolerates her leash/harness but her nose is the lead on her walks. Sally is the original gossip girl and is very curious about sounds and things around her. She spends the day napping and then gets zoomies after walks—she is still trying to figure out how to greet other doggies on a leash so she will need patience on greeting other dogs. She loves people and loves being petted, physical touch is her #1 love language…maybe after treats!   She’s very smart and food motivated—already learned how to sit! But if you don’t pay attention, she’ll snatch a chicken nugget from you. She lets you know when she needs to go potty by standing at the door and has only had 2 accidents indoors. She would do well with one other companion as she seems lonely. She’s still trying to figure out her crate but slowly getting into it.    At night she will snuggle in bed with you and sleep in with you.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 4, 2025, 5:07 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Bonnie is a very sweet 6 year old spayed female Beagle weighing in at just 12 pounds. She came to TBBR from a hoarding situation. She was very timid upon arrival but has really come out of her shell this week. Bonnie’s vocals are the cutest. She whines (sounds like a meow) when she wants your attention for belly rubs. And she recently started barking when playing outside with the other dogs. Housetraining is going well. She has not yet learned to walk with a leash. She’ll chase after balls but is otherwise uninterested in toys. Bonnie might be suited best in a home with another dog(s) to continue building her confidence and for companionship. She loves to explore, as Beagles do, so a fenced yard is recommended.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Your favorite shows might pause, but TiVo’s love never will! A 5-year old love bug who's fully house-trained, handles crate time like a pro (within reasonable limits), and is a star at the dog park. He adores playing with all dogs and proudly announces his presence with his signature beagle bay. He gets along with his foster brother, but annoys the cat. Considering his energy and age, TiVo’s best suited for an active individual/family or a home with another dog and a fenced yard. Structure and routines are a must. We're still working on his manners; TiVo tends to forget personal boundaries when any food is involved. When he's bored, he will get into mischief, but a good run in the dog park will tire him out and have him snuggling with you for the night. He’s so adorable and full of love to share. If you're ready for non-stop action, hit play - TiVo's ready for you! Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 6, 2025, 12:20 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Sheldon Cooper is a sweet submissive boy. He will take a couple days to open up to you, but then he will come to you for snuggles. Cooper is scared of sudden movements but he is learning that not be scared anymore when someone wants to pet him. He loves sun bathing and curiously is not interested in treats!   He is great with other dogs and he loves kids.
