Story
I have a 2 year old boxer pit mix, he’s a very sweet boy, has a great recall, is great with our daughter, walks very well, potty trained, knows simple tricks, and loves to cuddle. We adopted him from a family friend this year in March and recently got him neutered and now him and our other male dog don’t get along at all no matter what I’ve tried. We do know he has separation anxiety, and he’s very sensitive to new people but warms up fairly quickly. He deserves a loving home.

Meet Patrick: The Head-Tilting Senior with a Puppy Heart! Don't let the 12 to 14 years fool you— Patrick is a highly active Papillon mix who completely forgot he’s a senior dog! Rescued as a stray by Senior Dogs and Friends, this resilient, low-riding gentleman acts like a dog a fraction of his age. He is a total shadow who loves following you around, tilting his head intently when you speak, and claiming his rightful spot on the couch for cuddles. Watch Patrick in Action! Want to see his youthful spirit for yourself? Check out our website to see videos of Patrick strutting his stuff on walks, playing with his favorite toys, and mastering the art of couch relaxation! The Perfect Roommate: Social Life: Loves meeting new people, gets along great with friendly dogs, and is comfortable around calm, respectful older kids. (Cats are a mystery for now!). Favorite Hobbies: Daily walks, rolling around in the grass, and listening to your daily stories.

No intense daily brushing required, just routine vet checks! Fitness Plan: He is currently on a gentle weight-loss plan to keep his low-riding frame sleek. He takes daily joint supplements to stay spry, which his adopter should continue. Medical Status: Neutered, fully vaccinated, and beautifully groomed.

Why Schell is an absolute dream to live with: • Perfect House Manners: She is a polite lady indoors and completely reliable when it's time to go potty outside. • A Grooming Angel: For a fluffy Pekingese mix, this is a huge superpower! She sits beautifully for her grooming sessions. • Low-Stress & Content: She loves her food, eats like a champ, and is completely happy to snooze nearby while you work or go about your day. • Your Devoted Shadow: Whether you are running errands, taking a scenic drive, or binging your favorite show, Schell just wants to share your space. Schell brings the kind of gentle love, low-maintenance reliability, and endless charm that only a senior dog can offer. She doesn't need to be taught how to be a good dog—she’s already mastered it. All she needs now is you! Could sweet Schell be the missing piece to your heart? Apply to meet this special girl today! www.smallpupsrescue.org If you would like to meet and adopt Schell, kindly fill out an adoption application at www.smallpupsrescue.org   Schell has an adoption fee of  $450.00.
