Story

Millie is a sweet loving active 5yr old! She loves to love and snuggle, she actually think she is a lap dog. She is potty trained, know a number of skills and is very intelligent. She would prefer to be on only dog, so she can get all your attention. She has not been around small children, so I am unsure of how she would be, but she will be your best friend for older kids and adults. I am getting married in a few months and I will be re-locations in a few months and cannot take her with us. She would make a great family dog!

Story

We adopted Austin 6 years ago. Three years ago we adopted another dog for comfort and companionship. Unfortunately they recently started showing aggression towards each other. This has created a very difficult family environment. She is a loving 6-year-old boxer/Terrier mix seeking a calm, stable home. Best as only pet. She bonds strongly with people and enjoys playing with toys and a good a good tug of war game. She is house trained and very affectionate. She thrives with exercise and walks.

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Larry was abandoned. We took him in as a foster but he did so well with our small dog and ferret we held onto him. That was 2 years ago and our home is small and with a new baby and Larry’s special needs for his skin allergies we can not give him the space and attention he requires anymore. We want someone with space and time to give this big teddy bear what he deserves. We don’t know his age but we guess around 7-8. He’s a good boy just needs some extra love

Story

TALLY 🖤If fun had a face… it would look like this.Tally is the kind of dog that walks into a room and immediately turns the energy up—in the best way.At around 2 years old and 28 pounds, this Pug mix is full of personality, joy, and just enough chaos to keep life interesting. She’s playful, silly, and always ready for the next adventure… or at least the next snack (because yes—this girl is very food motivated 👀).Tally didn’t get much structure early on, so she’s still learning the basics—but here’s the good part: she WANTS to learn. She’s smart, eager, and already showing how quickly she picks things up when there’s consistency (and treats… definitely treats).She would thrive in a home that’s ready to give her a little guidance and a lot of love. In return? You get a dog that will make you laugh daily and keep life anything but boring.She enjoys other dogs but can come on a little strong at first—she’s just excited to make friends. A tolerant dog buddy or a home where she can be the center of attention would both work great. Cats are likely not her thing.She’s doing well with crate training (may protest briefly, then settles and sleeps through the night), loves going for walks, and is working on housebreaking.And that face? Yeah… good luck saying no to that.⸻The details:• Approx. 2 years old• ~28 lbs• Pug mix (best guess)• 📍 Kewaunee, WI• Dog friendly (best with tolerant/playful dogs) ✔️• Cats: not recommended• Kids: older, dog-savvy ✔️• Crate trained ✔️• Leash skills: learning, but loves walks• Housebreaking: in progress• UTD on vaccines ✔️• Microchipped ✔️• Spayed ✔️💰 Adoption Fee: $450⸻Tally isn’t a couch potato—she’s your hype girl, adventure buddy, and daily dose of entertainment all in one.If you’re looking for a dog with personality… you just found her.👉 Apply at: www.biggiepawsrescue.org#BiggiePaws #RescueWithoutFluffDATCP # 494550
