Story
Meet Eve !!! Eve is a beautiful 7-month-old Dachshund/German Pointer mix with a heart just as lovely as her soulful eyes. Though she was sadly abandoned at a young age, Eve has shown incredible resilience and is now happily settled with her foster family. She's learning that the world can be kind again - and she's ready to find a forever family to call her own. Eve is: 1. Wonderful with other dogs 2. Affectionate and eager to bond 3. Young, playful, and full of potential! 4. Spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, heartworm negative and and micro-chipped. With her pointer curiosity and dachshund charm, Eve would thrive in a loving home where she can enjoy outdoor time in a secure garden and daily long walks to explore the world. She's at that perfect age - still a puppy at heart but old enough to start showing her loyal, devoted nature. All she needs now is a family who will promise her what she deserves: stability, kindness, and love forever. Could Eve be the missing piece in your home?

Story
Meet Maggie - 9 Years Young & Professionally Loving !! Hi, I'm Maggie - a Whippet mix with a PhD in Loving Humans. At about nine years old, I've mastered the art of companionship. Need a couch buddy? I'm in. Want a walking partner? I enjoy walking on and off leash. Have other dogs? I'm dog-friendly. Have cats? I politely pretend they don't exist. I am a lady, after all. My biggest talent? Adoring my people. I don't just like humans - I specialize in them. I believe in close supervision of all household activities and will gladly follow you from room to room to ensure you're never lonely. What am I looking for? Nothing fancy. Just a soft patch to land, a comfy bed, and someone who appreciates a loyal, affectionate girl who still has plenty of tail wags left. Best of all I am heartworm negative and on monthly preventative meds. If you've been thinking, 'My life needs more unconditional love and less drama,' I might just be your perfect match. Apply today - I'm ready to move in! Please contact Hannah 512-466-4129 for more information. A $75 donation is required for medical and food expenses.

Story
I adopted Tinsel from Animal Friends Alliance in Colorado. He was rescued from a farm that used him as target practice for paint ball. Despite all he a very good dog. Super smart. He knows all the parlor tricks. But has a hard time with stay. turnaround, etc. He knows go potty. He;s not a dominant dog, hes submissive so he need a strong dog parent. He is protective of his people and new comers into his home should ignore him until he settles in. Hes a barker! He be first to let you know if anyone is around. Hes good with cats, he currently lives with 3. He does best with older children. Hes very, very loved. He;s also a foot licker 😅 he needs to be by your side as well. And hes a bed hog! Hes not really a chewer but he does like to play tug of war. The ball is his best friend. It;s his binky. He takes his ball everywhere! The vets love him ❤️ he does shed! I could really write a book about him! He does best off leash, he will follow you.

Story
Bolt (white/grey), Junior (brown/tan) 9 months old (approx bday April 23, 2025) 16 diff breeds, mostly chihuahua, partially daschund,pitbull,collie) Should be 20-33lbs when fully grown. Energetic,playful,sweet I’m helping my sister rehome her puppies. We’ve had them since they were about 4-6 weeks old. Unfortunately, and it breaks my heart, they need a new home as I work a changing schedule and my sister travels a lot. I don’t like that they have to be in cages and wait to be fed until someone is able to come home. They are puppies and they need a proper schedule. They do not like collars/harness and need house training. URGENTLY rehoming! Reduced fee, we have had them neutered so the price is lower.

Story
Abby is a good dog, the only reason I'm looking for a home for her is because I can no longer take care of her for health reasons. She is playful and very loving, she is used to being inside the house and does her physiological needs outside. I don't ask for money for her, I just want a home where she is loved and cared for.
