Miss Red is ready for adoption having had two sets of puppy vaccines and deworming. Miss Red is a puppy of Cinnamon, Valentine #16, a beautiful chocolate and tan dachshund mix about 18 lbs who was surrendered to a local shelter on Valentine's Day along with 15 other adults, her puppies, and one other litter, all from the same home. Cinnamon has the sweetest, most easy going nature and did a great job with her puppies. All the dogs in the home were between 5-18 lbs, chihuahuas, dachshund mixes, and a small scruffy terrier. Among these would be the dad of the puppy. Miss Red is a playful, friendly pup. She is active and alert. Miss Red is outgoing and loves attention.

Story
Shiner is a male white with black chihuahua. He is age-guessed as 1-3 years old and he weighs 11 pounds. Shiner is recently neutered. He is vaccinated including rabies. Shiner is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Shiner is ready for adoption. Shiner is Valentine #2 from our group rescued on Valentine’s Day, all pulled from the same overcrowded home. He is one of the few with a name recorded on his paperwork, but it is quite a fitting name, worthy of a giggle every time you see him. Shiner was a tad skeptical on day one, offering a growl or two in a highly stressful situation, but he was over it in about 20 minutes and has shown himself to be a very loving, loyal fellow. Shiner should be fine with other dogs and could probably live peacefully with a cat given some time to adjust. He is crate trained and potty trained. Shiner is ready to shine in his new home. Adoption fee is $350.

His pictures do not do justice to how cute he is with his stocky build and intelligent face. Mr. Green is a happy-go-lucky little dude but he never misses a thing.

Story
Bacon is a female black with tan Yorkie mix. She is around 4 years old and she weighs about 10-11 pounds. Bacon is spayed and vaccinated including rabies. Bacon is heartworm positive and has started the slow kill treatment protocol. Bacon is ready for adoption. Bacon is a lovebug. She and another dog were left with relatives during a housing problem, and a year later, after living in kennels in the garage all that time, the owners gave the go ahead to find them homes. (Her haircut is a little short because it was quite overdue. We aren’t even sure what she will look like when it grows in…will be fun to see.) Bacon has a beautiful face and eyes full of love. She is agile and can get places looking for treats that some dogs can’t! Hide your pupperoni! Bacon loves to be held and seems to like all people. She is friendly with other dogs and generally a very good girl. Bacon has had no potty accidents. She is cooperative with a crate. Bacon is used to other dogs but would probably do ok as an only dog if not left alone too much. Adoption fee is $250.

Story
Jimmy is a male white with tan/yellow rat terrier mixed breed. He is 5 years old and he weighs 32 pounds. Jimmy is neutered and vaccinated including rabies. Jimmy is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Jimmy is ready for adoption. Jimmy originally was adopted 5 years ago as a puppy. He was Jimmy Stewart from the Hollywood litter. Through family changes he ended up in a home with two larger dogs which the family determined wasn’t a good fit for Jimmy, so he was returned to us. Jimmy was happy as an only dog and is used to living in a family with adults and children. He seems fine with other dogs, but he is unsure about them on first meeting and needs time to develop a friendship. He responds differently to each dog personality and we are sure there are plenty of dogs he would like, but he doesn’t need them to be halls in a home. Jimmy pulls a little in the leash but is pretty walkable. He doesn’t love the kennel but he is fine when kenneled. Jimmy is house trained. We know Jimmy was taken care of and went to the same vet clinic yearly during his five years after adoption. Jimmy’s overall personality is a little reserved and shy, but once he trusts you he gives kisses and enjoys cuddles and a good scratch all over. Jimmy is a good size, right on the borderline of small and medium, so he fits inside the home easily without being underfoot all the time. Jimmy needs a person or a family that will give him a minute to acclimate to the new surroundings but will engage with him and talk to him as he learns to relax and feel safe. Jimmy does know his name. Adoption fee is $125.
