Story
Let`s introduce you to Keena!This sweet girl is around 3 yrs old and thought to be a dachshund mix. Keena is hoping for a quieter home where her humans are around throughout the day. She seems fine without having a doggie friend in the house and might even prefer it...... all the attention and treats for herself is not a bad thing in her book.She`s completely house trained, sleeps soundly through the night, and already knows commands like `stay,` `no,` and `down.` She loves spending time outdoors, keeping a watchful eye on squirrels without feeling the need to chase them. She walks beautifully on a leash especially when no there are no distractions but can easily be startled by unfamiliar people or canines that cross her path, and is still working through some separation anxiety. She`s a quick learner who wants nothing more than to make her people proud!Keena enjoys a simple routine and is perfectly satisfied with a comfy bed near her favorite humans. If you`re looking for a loyal companion whose courage shines through in everyday moments, Keena may be the little sidekick you`ve been waiting for.We love our dogs. We want happy lives for all of them and are looking for the home that provides the best fit for each dog`s individual needs. Please understand that there may be multiple families interested in this dog. Also, please know that the breed mix listed is simply a guess. In most cases, we don`t know their background.

Story
Meet Thorin, the Master of Mighty Small Dogs! And possibly a fill-in for Yoda on his off days! Thorin is a seasoned citizen, around 10 yrs old, and would do well having someone with him most of the day to help establish a regular potty schedule. He enjoys rolling in the grass and playing with small stuffy toys. He is not enamored with crates and has been spending time in a pen when left alone.Thorin is dentally deficient and has been eating a mix of canned food and soaked kibble to soften it. He does well with other dogs and, once he gets over his shyness, loves to be picked up and held! We do not recommend a home with smaller children. Will you help this capable warrior reclaim Lonely Mountain so he can relax and enjoy his later years? If so, he promises to protect you from all dragons, both real and imagined!Interested in meeting this dog? Fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend.

Story
STOP SCROLLING — Izzy is looking for her forever family! She may greet you with quite a bit of excitement, but give her a little time to settle down... and you’ll have a sweet, loving girl by your side.Meet Izzy! This 9-year-old girl is affectionate, smart, and an absolute gem in the home. She’s house-trained, non-destructive, crates well, eager to learn and please, and knows how to relax. No counter surfing, no table begging, no household destruction—just a really good girl who loves being near her people.When Izzy meets someone new, she can get very excited! But here’s the secret to Izzy: give her a little time, introduce her slowly, have some snacks in your pocket, and let her get comfortable. Once she realizes you’re someone she can trust, she settles down—usually within about 15 minutes—and her sweet personality shines through!A little positive praise, plenty of yummy treats, and patience go a long way with this girl. She doesn’t need someone to change her; she needs someone willing to help her learn how to manage those big feelings.Once you’re her person, Izzy LOVES being close and soaking up affection. She’d love to be your one-and-only pet and would do best in a calm home without young children.She enjoys leisurely walks and sniffing adventures more than playing fetch, and she’s perfectly happy to come home afterward and relax with her favorite human.Izzy is proof that sometimes the best things in life take a little patience. Give her a few minutes, a few treats, and a little trust—and you’ll discover a wonderful dog who has SO much love to give.She’s ready for her person.?She’s ready for her forever.?She’s ready to come home.Interested in adopting this dog?Visit our website (http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org) to fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend.We love our dogs.

Story
Meet Nyla! Nyla is a 4-year-old poodle mix with a big personality tucked inside a cautious little package. She hasn’t always been treated with the kindness she deserved, so she may take a little time to decide that you’re one of the good ones. But once Nyla feels safe, get ready - her goofy, playful, energetic personality comes bursting out!Nyla loves going for walks and exploring, but she’s just as happy curling up on the couch for a good snuggle with her person. And if you really want to win her over? Squishy toys are the way to her heart. Nyla is absolutely obsessed with them and is always ready for a little playtime with her favorites.She’s still working on perfecting her potty-training skills, but she’s learning and would love a patient family willing to keep helping her along.When it comes to other dogs, Nyla is pretty indifferent and is happiest with canine friends closer to her own size. More than anything, she’s looking for someone who understands that trust takes time - and that the best relationships are sometimes the ones you have to earn.Nyla has already made it through the hardest part of her story. Now she’s ready for the part where she gets to be loved, spoiled, surrounded by squishy toys, and completely herself. Interested in meeting this dog?

Questions? Email us at adoptions@sccrescue.org. Hope to see you become part of the SCCR family!Once Nyla feels comfortable, her sweet personality starts to shine. She enjoys walks—as long as they’re on the sidewalk (wet grass is apparently a five-star hard NO)—and may even break out the occasional squeaky-toy play session. She’s fine with children ages 4–10, is indifferent to other dogs, and does well when left alone without a crate. She’s still working on housetraining and learning her signals, so patience will be important there, too. Nyla may take a little time to “achieve” her full potential, but with a calm, understanding home, this little winner could be on her way to claiming the greatest prize of all: a forever family.Fill out an application and find out how to meet this dog.We love our dogs.

Story
Mello is a sweet, smart, happy puppy who is already proving what an amazing companion he can be. Around 8 months old, he’s affectionate, eager to please, and adapting quickly to life with his foster family and their resident dogs. He is completely house trained and comfortable in his crate, sleeping in it peacefully, although he prefers to be curled up on a lap.Mello is a chill and relaxed puppy, rarely barking unless loud noises or approaching strangers get his attention. He loves meeting new people, even the vet! Mello enjoys the company of other dogs and has been wonderful about sharing his toys and food and shows no resource guarding. Like any puppy, he can get a little mouthy during play, but he responds well when redirected to a toy.When it comes to adventures, Mello is all in! He loves looking out the window and is confident and curious once he’s outside. Walks are one of his favorite things, and he is already such a good little walking buddy—no pulling! He hasn’t been exposed to cats or children yet, so those introductions will be new experiences for him.Mello is exactly as his name describes and the kind of puppy who makes it easy to fall in love.Interested in meeting this dog?
