Story
Hello, my name is: SallieApprox. DOB: 03/04/2022Weight: 13.4 lbsSex/Breed: Spayed female DachshundRescued From: Breeding kennelSallie is as sweet as they come! She came to All 4 Paws from a breeding kennel and is now getting to experience the comforts of life as a beloved pet. Sallie has a gentle, loving nature and gets along well with everyone she meets—big dogs, little dogs, cats, and even kids. Her favorite place is curled up next to her people on the sofa or snuggled into a cozy, fluffy donut bed. While she’s still learning about things like walks and being on a leash, she’s willing to give it a try. Sallie is doing well with house training, settles nicely in her crate, and shows her affection with the sweetest little kisses. She’s a loving girl ready to share her heart with a forever family! Please help us find this little wiener dog the forever home she so desperately deserves!

Story
Meet Ro, also known as Rosie! This 15 -year-old puggle may be up there in age, but she is still a very spunky and sweet girl. Ro loves to cuddle and explore, especially outside where she can sniff around and take in the world. The last four years in life, Ro spent most of her time in a crate with very little time outside of it. These days she still enjoys having a crate as her safe space, especially when it has a comfy bed and plenty of room. Ro is mostly deaf and does have some vision impairment, but she gets around just fine and still has plenty of personality. She’s a little spunkball who enjoys life at her own pace. She does well with other dogs and cats as long as they respect her space, and she has been great with young kids when they are gentle and respectful. Ro is looking for a loving home where she can enjoy her golden years with lots of snuggles, fresh air, and kindness. Apply at www.zoeshouserescue.com ❤️ Kennel license 9117 Reading Pa 19608
