Story
I am looking for the right home for my sweet dachshund girl. She is 11 years old and has been with me for the last 3 years after being rescued from an overcrowded shelter in Oklahoma. She is spayed and previously had puppies before coming to me. She is a true lap dog who loves to be close to her person. She enjoys sleeping in bed with you, snuggling during the day, squeaky toys, and going for walks. She’s wonderful on a leash and loves exploring. She is housebroken, but she does need regular potty breaks, as she can have accidents if left too long. She has mild grass allergies that are easily managed with a medicated shampoo. She would do best as the only dog, as she can be a little bossy with other dogs. She is okay with cats. Her ideal home is with someone who is home often and wants a cuddly, loyal senior companion.

Story
Poncho is a sweet, loyal guy who loves to cuddle up on the couch and take short walks. He is an older rat terrier. At his last check up, the vet found that he has a heart murmur (common in smaller, older dogs) and he is on medication for that. He is also on a daily low dose pain killer to help with those small aches and pains that come with age. He walks great on a leash, responds to his name, and sits on command. He is currently learning 'stay.' Poncho is very affectionate and always wants to be beside his person. He loves tomatoes and bananas! Poncho does okay with other dogs but does tend to be possessive over food and toys. He reacts well to our 2 cats but does need a slow introduction. He is 26 pounds.

Story
Meet Ford! Ford joined our family from a Texas shelter when he was about 5 months old, and he’s now just over a year old. He’s grown into a sweet, energetic, and fun-loving young dog who’s ready to find his forever home. Ford has been around children, other dogs, and a cat since he’s been with us. He gets along well with everyone, though his enthusiasm can sometimes be a bit much, especially when he’s excited. He is kennel trained and housebroken, which is a great start for a young pup. Because he’s still learning, Ford can be mouthy and jumpy at times. It’s never out of aggression, he’s just playful, curious, and eager for attention. With consistency and positive reinforcement, he’ll continue to grow into his best self. Ford will thrive in a home with someone who has the time, patience, and space as he matures. He has so much potential and is ready to become the amazing companion he’s meant to be.
