Story
Meet our handsome goofball, Tres Zuma! His previous owner dumped him at the shelter after saying he was "allergic to everything, even the grass and air." Well Tres Zuma sure proved her wrong: as it turns out, omitting chicken-based food from his diet took care of all of his skin issues and he's showing improvement every day! Tres Zuma spends his days in one of the shelter offices soaking up all the attention he can get. His favorite activity? Zoomies and playing ball in the yard! Truly, this boy LOVES a tennis ball! His permanent smile is contagious and his playful antics are sure to keep you laughing. He knows how to sit, shake, and he's ready to be your best friend and forever lap dog! Come meet Tres Zuma today!

Story
Say hello to Whiskey! He's not a drinker himself, but he'll gladly join you at your favorite watering hole! His ears appear to pick up satellite reception, although we have yet to try to get a signal from him. Whiskey loves to chase balls and play tug-o-war as much as he enjoys a good stuffed toy. This confident young man is a quick learner and very treat-motivated. He already knows "sit" and "down"! This energetic pup would love a home with a big yard or beach access where he can run and play and join you in an active lifestyle. If you're considering adding a 4-legged member to your family or need a hype man for daily walks, jogs, or runs, Whiskey is your guy!

Story
Meet Lola, a sweet and mild-mannered lady in search of a new home after her current owner's housing situation changed. Lola is fully house-broken, crate-trained, good with kids, cats, other dogs, and about as easy-going as they come! She may be well past her puppy years, but she still loves her toys and will even entertain herself by tossing them around and playing on her own. Not a fan of thunderstorms and fireworks, Lola would prefer a calm and quiet household where she can feel safe and be loved endlessly. If you're looking to add to your family a sweet shepherd lady with all the bells and whistles already attached, consider Lola!

Rudy

Pomeranian

Female 9 yrs
Galveston, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Rudy is an approximately 9-year-old, 15-pound sweetheart with the kind of gentle soul that makes you want to sit down and stay awhile. He came to rescue after being found running loose, and despite posters and social media posts, no one ever came forward to claim him. Their loss is truly someone else’s gain. Rudy is a total couch potato who loves cuddling and being close. He is calm, affectionate, and incredibly easy to have around. He does well with pottying outside as long as he’s taken out regularly and settles into a routine with no fuss. He gets along well with other dogs, ignores cats, and travels beautifully in the car. He walks on leash and enjoys taking his time to explore the world at his own pace. Rudy has limited vision in his right eye, but it does not slow him down or impact his quality of life. He navigates just fine and goes about his day happily. Rudy is a good eater, especially when treats are involved, and has a preference for canned food. Overall, he is a low-maintenance, loving companion who truly just wants a warm lap, a comfy couch, and someone to share snacks with. Rudy is fully vetted, including a full exam, neuter, dental, vaccinations, deworming, and fecal testing. He is current on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Rudy is located in Santa Fe, TX, and his adoption fee is $450. Apply to adopt at www.tpsrescue.com

Story
Kenzie is a 5-year-old, 4-pound cream and white Pomeranian with a gentle heart, a silly streak, and a whole lot of love to give. She may be nicknamed Krazy Kenzie, but once she settles in, she’s more sweet than spicy. She can be a little shy at first and usually needs about a week to feel comfortable, but once she does, her personality comes out in the best ways. Kenzie loves going on walks, riding in the car, being carried around, playing with toys, and handing out enthusiastic kisses. She enjoys spending time outside and isn’t shy about using her voice while she explores. At home, she thrives on routine and is doing very well with potty training. She does well with other dogs and enjoys companionship, but she will be happiest in a calm home without small children. Kenzie responds best to gentle structure and a patient adopter who understands that trust takes a little time. Once that bond forms, she is affectionate, loyal, and incredibly endearing. Kenzie is looking for a patient, loving family who will give her time to feel safe and secure, appreciates her silly personality, and doesn’t mind that her fur feels like a bunny. Kenzie is fully vetted, including a full exam, spay, dental, vaccinations, deworming, and fecal testing. She is current on monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Kenzie is fostered in Houston, TX, and her adoption fee is $550. Apply to adopt at www.tpsrescue.com
