Story
Meet Bob!Bob is 1 year old, neutered, and fully vetted Chihuahua mix. Bob is a lover at heart and the BEST snuggle-bug! He craves human connection and affection, although initially he is scared of people and needs time to trust and feel safe. Once he learns that he is safe, he wants to be your shadow! Nights will never be lonely again with Bob by your side!He’s dog friendly, but LOVES his human more. Bob is house trained with frequent visits outside and crate trained, but he’d rather stay with you.At a teeny 8lbs, Bob would make a great addition to an adults only household willing to let him decompress for a few days, as he gets to know you and your routine. As a timid Chihuahua, he’ll need a day or two to adjust and someone who is patient enough to allow Bob to come to them. After that he’s the best little companion.

Story
Meet Stromboli!If you’re looking for a low-maintenance dog, look no further! This boy is a well-behaved, cuddly companion with an appearance that’ll keep your house intruder-free! Stromboli is a 5 year old bully breed mix, fully vaccinated and neutered. He is potty trained, crate-trained, non-destructive, and a quick learner with treats. He can absolutely learn new tricks and responds quickly to leash training when he gets some one-on-one attention. He is a very loving boy, and his affectionate demeanor makes him a favorite of house guests. His favorite spot is sitting at your feet with his head in your lap. Stromboli was found as a stray and rescued after being attacked by another dog. He is all healed now but does need slow introductions to other dogs. He’s not a fan of dog parks or meeting dogs while on-leash; he needs a calm and comfortable environment to socialize. He has done well in a home with other foster siblings but still prefers humans to dogs. He has some mild skin allergies and does best with allergy-friendly kibble. Getting adopted as a bully breed has its challenges, but Stromboli is one that deserves rescue from a kind human who can give him the affection he gives so generously to everyone else. It just takes meeting him once to fall in love!To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Dakota!Dakota is a nine-year-old, 60-pound Terrier mix with a gentle heart and a remarkably calm spirit. Surrendered when her allergies became too much for her previous owners, she arrived with hair loss and years of discomfort. With proper care, antibiotics, and daily allergy medication, she has healed beautifully — and her skin condition is not contagious. She is heartworm-negative, spayed, fully vaccinated, and both house- and crate-trained.Dakota is a quiet, loving companion who enjoys treats and relaxing on a cozy blanket near her person. She gets along well with other dogs, doesn’t jump on furniture, and prefers peaceful days spent close by. After more than a year in foster care, she continues to thrive with steady care and affection.Dakota is a sweet, calm girl who has come a long way and is ready for a forever home that will give her the comfort, love, and stability she has always deserved.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Usher — the four-legged headliner you didn’t know you needed.Usher is a10-month-old Terrier mix with big energy, a bigger personality, and main-character confidence. Born to a mama named Madonna (icon status confirmed), he’s clearly destined for stardom — but he’s not riding anyone’s coattails. This boy is crate trained, house trained, leash trained, neutered, and up to date on vaccines. He’s smart, eager to please, and loves learning new commands.Usher is playful, goofy, and delightfully clumsy. He lives for swimming, morning walks, afternoon play sessions, and meeting the neighborhood kids at the bus stop. He adores other dogs and would happily have a canine sibling, but with an active family and plenty of toys, he could also thrive as the only pup.Favorite hobbies include sticks, golf cart rides, toys, treats, lake days, deer watching, squirrel surveillance, and perfecting his signature excited butt wiggle. He loves adventures — whether that’s tagging along to work, lounging on a coffee shop patio, or diving into the backyard pool.The resident cat currently provides top-tier chase entertainment, but with consistent guidance and a confident feline, he could likely learn to coexist.Usher needs an active home that will embrace his zest for life — and once he’s burned off that puppy energy, he’s a champion couch napper and blanket snuggler. He sleeps quietly through the night in his crate without a peep.If you’re looking for a joyful, adventurous, slightly chaotic best friend who will hype up your daily life and then crash beside you for cuddles, Usher is ready to take center stage.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Tadpole!Tadpole is a young (maybe about 3 years old) adult heeler mix who came to Saving Hope from a hoarding situation in Fannin, TX.Tadpole may start off a little shy, but give him some time and you’ll discover a total cuddle bug underneath. Rescued from a crowded home, he’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place.He is crate and house trained and has been neutered. He’s working on his leash manners and would thrive with a patient and loving adopter who can continue building his confidence.Tadpole does well with other dogs, although he can be dog selective so slow introductions are necessary. He also does well with kids.He would love a relaxed home where he can learn what it is like to be loved. He would probably enjoy having a doggie companion, but it is not necessary. He would not do well living in an apartment.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Spartacus!Spartacus is a 13 year-old senior Pekingese mix little guy. He may be 13 years old, but his sparkling eyes are still full of life, love, and personality. This sweet senior boy is house trained, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and is dog friendly. He would do best in a calm home with older kids or no kids, where he can enjoy a steady routine, lots of love, and frequent trips outside for potty breaks.Spartacus is a wonderful companion who loves being near his human. Whether you’re heading to the kitchen, the bathroom, or just moving from room to room, he’ll happily follow along to keep you company. With Spartacus around, you’ll never be lonely again.He’s also a little “talker” who loves to chat with his people and make sure he’s part of the conversation. Spartacus knows sit, spin, and shake, and he’s always happy to show off his tricks. Between cozy naps and gentle walks, he still has a playful side too—especially when there’s a ball to chase.Spartacus is a great little dog looking for a peaceful home to live out his golden years. However, an apartment would not be an appropriate home for this little guy. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion with plenty of heart and sparkle, Spartacus is ready to meet you.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt.
