Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Regina found herself unwanted and surrendered in West Texas. She is good with other dogs, kids and cats are unknown. All dogs and puppies require supervision and training. Gigi is perfection. Sweet and loving, she can't get enough attention, kisses, or pets. She gets along with other dogs and is good with kids but would do better with older kids. If you're having a lazy day she will cuddle all day long. If you're full of energy, she'll keep right up with you. She will be your best friend and stick to you like glue.  She's shown a little bit of human resource guarding or protective nature. She would do good with an experienced dog owner.  She loves to play with her two foster brothers and she doesn't let them get the better of her. She will entertain herself with toys or play for ages with other dogs. She's feisty, sweet, and full of love to give. She is very treat motivated and eager to learn new things.   She's great on a leash, but she does get distracted by squirrels or other small animals. Simply remind her to 'look at me' and attention goes back to you. If she sounds perfect for you, please submit an application on our website mattysheartandsoulanimalrescue.rescuegroups.org.      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 19, 2024, 11:26 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.***$250 of adoption fee is sponsored. Approved adopter is responsible for the remainder and taxes on full adoption fee*** Mom of Pippi's litter was bitten by a skunk on a SD Reservation, and the owner and vet they took her to suspected rabies.  Mom was euthanized and rabies exam came back negative.They were left without a mom at less than 4 weeks of age.  One of our amazing fosters said yes and became their momma.  They are looking for foster to adopt homes until spay/neuter date and then will be able to finalize adoption.  They are good with other dogs and cats. All dogs and puppies require supervision and training.  Hi! I'm Pippi! I'm one of an orphaned litter that has been raised by Matty's Heart and Soul Rescue. Our mama was a Jagdterrier mix, but we don't know about our dad. I look like a standard Jadgterrier!  They say I am a really sweet pup. I give hugs and licks but don't overwhelm you with all that. I also love good belly rubs or just leaning on you. I am crate trained and good on potty training. I really love it when you get home and I badly need to count my people once I get out of the kennel! Sometimes I do that before heading outside...oops! Working on that. I play and keep myself entertained but settle down nicely when my foster family is working. I love nose games and fluffy or squeaky toys. I was off leash a lot at the first foster home I lived in and I recall when you call me. I am fine with those leash things too.  I haven't been around a lot of children. I had a lot of brothers and can roughhouse well, but I can get along with pretty much all dogs. I love to play with my other foster dogs by running and doing zoomies in the yard. It's fun to chase my foster cats but just to play with them. They don't really like it, but I do! I am respectful of the paw and accept the correction that comes along with my choices.    So if you're ready to gain a new best friend, I'm on the market, so hit me up!  Please put in your application on our website mattysheartandsoulanimalrescue.rescuegroups.org.      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 19, 2024, 11:26 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Midnight Lagoon found himself unwanted in a  high kill shelter in West Texas. He is good with other dogs and kids, cats are unknown.  All dogs and puppies require supervision and training.  Midnight Lagoon is a big knucklehead. He's sweet as can be but can sound a little rough. He's very vocal when he plays and that might put off some dogs. He looks like a tough guy but he's just one big sweetie pie. He loves to snuggle, give kisses, get belly rubs, and he's very, very smart. His life started out a little rough He's got the scars to show it. He is human selective and dog reactive but can go on to be best friends given slow introductions.  His best friend is his foster sister and he really wants to be friends with his bigger foster brother, but his big brother doesn't really want to have much to do with him. Midnight is a food snob who prefers his dry kibble to be complimented with wet food or gravy.  Midnight is making strides everyday. He's great on walks in low traffic times and areas. He's working on his reactivity and getting desensitized in many different situations. He would do best with another dog (after slow intros) who doesn't mind his vocal play because doesn't like to be alone. He loves stuffy toys and chew toys. He's still learning how to dog everyday and is looking for his human to love.some fun additional information about Middy Midnight just loves trailers. He loves to jump in and inspect the inside and outside of trailers any time he sees one. He is very inquisitive!  Midnight would love a human who is a runner or someone who likes to take long walks or hikes. He enjoys burning off energy as much as a good belly rub. Midnight is nuts for a flirt pole. He likes chasing the fox but enjoys catching it even more. He is getting better and better at 'leave it' so we can continue playing. He is also learning 'enough' for when he gets too excited about the little boy next door running up and down the hall. A firm 'enough' and a treat quiets him right up. Please put in your application on our website mattysheartandsoulanimalrescue.rescuegroups.org.      Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 19, 2024, 11:26 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fiona found herself unwanted in a high kill shelter in West Texas She is good with dogs and kids, cats are unknown.   All dogs and puppies require supervision and training.  . This smiley girl is Fiona. She is such a joy to foster and would make the perfect addition to any family. Fiona’s three favorite things are people, couches and cars. She loves all people, and is patient with kids . She shows her love by covering you with slobbery kisses. Showing off toys to her people and playing tug-o-war with them is fun. She does resource guard toys and treats so when playing with other dogs they need to be removed and the interactions need to be watched. While she is fine with other dogs, including at her foster home and she played well with other dogs while in boarding, being the only dog in the house would be the most ideal situation. No cats please. Fiona thinks couches are the best place to snuggle with her people, and sleep away the day. She will patiently wait for you to join her on the couch, and will stare you down with her adorable face as a way to communicate it is time to sit down. A bonus is she is not interested in human food and will not try to share snacks with you while on the couch. Wish my resident dogs would take note that this is appropriate behavior! She also loves a car ride. While she does well on walks she will approach any parked car and would happily jump in. A previous foster drove for Uber and Fiona accompanied them for a ride checking off her daily to do list of a car ride and interacting with as many people as possible. During the day she is left unsupervised while I work in a different part of the home. She does not get into anything she is not supposed to, and spends a great deal of time sleeping. She is house broken and kennel trained. If you are interested in learning more about Fiona...

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Lila and her siblings were surrendered by a wonderful local Minnesota family.  They took on their momma's dogs after she passed and one, Rosie, was pregnant.  Rosie was spayed now when her litter was fully weaned. All dogs and puppies require supervision and training. Lila is a sweet pup who is potty and kennel trained. She loves to overwhelm her humans with kisses and affection. She’s very smart and still has that puppy energy. Lila is very eager to please so training comes with little effort but better with treats. Her fosters have been working on socialization and engagement with her thru various methods. Lila will be a good fit for an active household. She can be around other respectable dogs and cats but with slow & proper introductions. She would be best as an only dog in the home as she doesn't like dogs in her face which is hard to watch when at home off leash. Could you be searching for her? Because she’s been searching for you.
