Story
Max (Maxi) is a 7-year-old Havanese mix weighing approximately 10 pounds. This handsome little guy is house trained, crate trained, and full of personality. Max is smart, loyal, and knows several commands, including sit, paw, and down. He even waits patiently for permission before enjoying his meals. Max loves belly rubs, chin scratches, cozy naps, and carrying around his favorite toy, Bear Bear. He forms strong bonds with his people and thrives in a home that provides structure, consistency, and clear expectations. Because of his personality and attachment to his people, Max is looking for an adult-only home with an experienced dog owner. He is not a first-time dog and will do best with someone who understands that trust and relationships take time. Max can be nervous around new people and loud noises, but with patience and routine, he settles in well and becomes a devoted companion. Max has a seizure disorder that is well controlled with medication. He has been seizure-free for nearly two years and takes his medication easily. His medication costs approximately $8 per month, and he simply needs routine veterinary monitoring twice a year to ensure he continues to do well. As a Havanese mix, Max will require regular grooming to keep his coat healthy and comfortable. Through no fault of his own, Max is looking for a new home because his owner is moving out of state and is unable to take him along. While this decision has been incredibly difficult, the hope is to find him a loving family where he can continue to thrive. Max’s adoption fee has been waived, but our adoption screening and approval process still applies. If you are looking for a smart, loyal companion with plenty of personality, Max may be the perfect fit.

If you are interested in adopting this dog, please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.You can learn about the adoption process by visiting:  http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.  Dog's Name:  Trent  (TRE0926ALAMD)Estimated Breed:  Havanesepproximate Age:  5 yearsApproximate Weight:  10 lbs Currently Living at:  FosterAdoption Fee:  $400DOG'S DESCRIPTION:   Meet Trent!      If you're looking for a loyal companion who will fill your days with endless affection, then look no further than Trent! This handsome little Havanese is on the hunt for a forever home where he can be cherished as the special boy he is. Havanese are beloved for their affectionate, devoted nature, and Trent is ready to bring all that wonderful companionship into your life. Known for being playful, cheerful, social, and smart, these little charmers have a way of making every day brighter. And with a personality like that wrapped up in one adorable, pint-sized package, what's not to love?      Trent's foster says that Trent has clearly been through a lot but is showing himself to be incredibly resilient! He gets along super well with the resident dogs! No food or toy aggression and they all really enjoy one another's conpany. Trent (he doesn't know that name) doesn't bark much (or at all yet) nor does he shed. He's also a quick learner and very food motivated (it's clear he's never had the finer things in life-like cheese-so if you adopt him you can give him a whole bunch of firsts). He ascertains commands quickly and is learning to walk on (a tiny) leash. He sleeps through the night without any accidents (or whimpering) and enjoys his crate. He is an extremely curious little guy who would do well in an apartment, condo, townhouse, or single family home and would thrive in a more relaxed environment.        Apply today and give Trent a chance to show you how good life can be with a best buddy by your side.Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.           Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (at partner vet if not fixed before adoption), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter. Please note that on average, K-9 Lifesavers spend significantly more on each dog than their adoption fee. Adoption fee for HW positive dog also covers heartworm treatment at our partner vets. Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit  http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/  or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.org.Sponsor Me!    Make a  tax-deductible donation  today by visiting us at http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/donate/.

Story
Dallas is a sweet, playful black Havapoo looking for the right forever home. He was born October 12, 2025, so he is just about a year old. He is a small dog with a big personality and loves being around his people.Dallas is affectionate, playful, curious, and enjoys attention. He does well with children and would be happiest in a home where someone has the time to continue working with him and give him plenty of interaction and structure.He is still young and is continuing to work on potty training, so his new family should be prepared to stay consistent with his routine. He can also be anxious when confined, so he would do best with someone who has patience and is willing to continue helping him become more comfortable being alone.Dallas will come with his belongings/supplies, including his bed, toys, and other items I have for him.This is a difficult decision, so I am looking for a serious, loving and responsible home.

Story
Hi, I'm Max and I hail from Texas. Just to let you know, if you've ever heard the phrase "age is just a number", well, it is definitely true. While I am a senior gentleman, I am definitely medium energy and would enjoy a good long walk or two a day (or a nice yard to play in). I walk well on leash (except when I see another dog, I will pull hard), am housetrained, and don't mind my crate. In general, I am friendly with people once I get to know them, but on my own terms. I am not a fan of cats - I will bark and chase them. Btw, I am not a barker in general and my foster recently discovered that I I really enjoy watching TV! My ideal home would be with people who are willing to understand that I am set in my ways as a senior and want a loyal companion. I am leash reactive to other dogs, but possibly could get along with the right dog match. Hatton Animal Rescue spends significantly more on each dog than the adoption fee covers; please consider making a tax-deductible donation by visiting us at https://www.hattonanimalrescue.org/sponsor. Donations help us offset vetting, boarding costs, and additional medical treatments for dogs who need it. For more information on Hatton Animal Rescue, visit our website at: hattonanimalrescue.org.

She gets along well with dogs cats and kids but doesn't do well on car rides and can be timid when meeting dogs out on walks. She is a young girl only about a year and a half. She is up to date on shots and is microchipped

Story
PLEASE VISIT THIS WEBSITE TO FIND THE ADOPTION QUESTIONNAIRE: http://www.homewardtrails.org/adopt-a-pet/adoption-forms/ HOW TO MEET THIS ANIMAL: Fill out the application and we will follow up with you! We will connect you to his foster! LOCATION: Foster home ADOPTION COORDINATOR: Sue B (sueb@homewardtrails.org) ADOPTION FEE: $615 ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 16 lbs ESTIMATED AGE: 6 yrs KNOWN WITH DOGS: Pooh can live with other dogs but is a bossy little man. He’s likely best suited to be an only dog OR to live with a docile, understanding, non-reactive friendly dog who won’t challenge him and will let Pooh be Pooh. KNOWN WITH CATS: We are told he’s a bit barky with cats and may chase them so he will need a no-cat home. KNOWN WITH KIDS: Pooh will need an adult-only home. KNOWN COMMANDS: Pooh knows to come immediate for TREAT and knows how to SIT. He’s a very smart boy and will benefit from ongoing training! KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: We think Pooh is housebroken but he’s had several accidents in his foster home, we believe due to him being stressed about losing his family and his routine. He does NOT like being crated and becomes upset. But he has shown no destruction when left alone, so he does well not being crated. He can be barky at first when left alone though, so we think he’ll do better in a house vs an apartment. KNOWN LIKES: Poor loves to be in charge – and may bark a lot to show that. He LOVES treats and he loves belly rubs and going on walks. KNOWN DISLIKES: Pooh hates the vacuum cleaner and will attack it. He does not seem to like fast moving objects like bikes and motorcycles and runners – he seems to think he’s a Border Collie. He also does not like being crated. So a suburban home will be better suited for him than a city home. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: POOH is as cute as he can be. But he’s not for everyone. This little guy has had a rough-ish life we think and ended up at a full nearby shelter when we learned about him and decided we needed to give him a chance. Poor needs an adult-only home and definitely prefers females over males – but we think with the right people he can live with both. He LOVES treats and comes immediately when you say the word TREAT loudly and he quickly sits on command. He loves walks- but gets worked up by bikes, motorcycles and people running so a quieter neighborhood would suit him. He loves walks and truly enjoys cuddling with his human and getting belly rubs and kisses. He is said to have a history of resource guarding but we have not seen that yet and have taken away treats, food and toys easily especially when offering a treat swap – which is always the way to go. He does seem to bond with one person and can be barky/protective/guarding around other humans – but this can be easily worked on by using treats and sharing feeding/treat/walk duties. He can live another dog but it would need to be a docile dog that lets Pooh be bossy and not react. Poor generally shares his space nicely but can be bossy. Pooh will definitely bark and intimidate visitors so a quieter home will be better. No kids in the home is best/required. Experience with bossy barky dogs preferred.
