Trixie is a gentle senior girl who has been through far more than any dog ever should. She first came to Follow Your Heart earlier this year as a “last litter” mama, and when her owners recently decided to surrender her, we didn’t hesitate for a second to bring her back into our loving arms.After a decade of surviving on the streets, raising litter after litter, and never truly knowing comfort, Trixie is finally getting her chance at the soft, peaceful life she has always deserved.✨ Why Trixie is a Gem:• Housebroken and wonderfully polite• Great on a leash — she loves slow, gentle strolls• Non-destructive and can be trusted alone• Kennel trained and enjoys having her own cozy spot• Calm, quiet, and incredibly easy to have in the homeTrixie is still learning that she’s safe now. She needs a patient, loving home that will give her time to decompress and discover all the little joys of indoor life — warm beds, predictable routines, and the freedom to finally relax without being on constant alert.With kindness, consistency, and a soft place to land, this beautiful soul will blossom. Whoever opens their heart to Trixie will be giving a senior dog the greatest gift of all: a peaceful, love-filled life she has waited far too long for. 💛If you think Trixie might be your forever girl, we’d love to introduce you.Meet Trixie — a gentle senior finally getting the soft life she’s always deserved.After years on the streets and raising countless litters, Trixie was surrendered back to us, and we welcomed her with open arms.

Story
MEET  JACK #11!!! Jack is a sweet boy. He does love to play! Jack loves to learn and learns new things quickly! Jack is not real fond of strangers so he will do best in a home that does not have a lot of new people coming into the home on a regular basis. Meeting new people is just a bit too scary for him. Jack is house trained, crate trained and walks well on a leash. We recommend only older, (teen and up) considerate children be in the home. This little boy just wants a person who will love him and give him a safe space to be himself. Give Jack a little time to trust, and he will be an amazing boy! Meet Jack today! If you are interested in meeting this dog, please visit our website for our online application www.underdogaz.com.  December 6, 2025, 5:38 am

Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
🐶 Coming Soon to a Couch Near You… Jepp: The Lone Ranger of Sassville Rated R for Ruff Behavior In a world full of pack dogs and polite tail wags… One dog dares to walk alone. He pulls. He pouts. He refuses to share his toys. Meet Jepp — a misunderstood genius with a leash and a dream. He’s not here to make friends. He’s here to make statements. He doesn’t play well with others. He doesn’t do cuddles. But he does do drama, suspicious glances at strangers, high-speed leash chases, and emotional breakthroughs over peanut butter. Jepp isn’t just a dog. He’s a one-dog revolution against boring walks, clingy puppies, and small talk. He’s not anti-social, he’s just anti-dog. Other pups cramp his style. He’s got the soul of a misunderstood poet, the swagger of a retired rockstar, and the leash manners of a caffeinated toddler… He’s got the attitude of a cat… And the emotional availability of a houseplant. These days, every dog wants belly rubs… Jepp dares to say, “No thanks, I’m good.” Get ready for the dog who doesn’t fetch. Doesn’t sit. And definitely doesn’t do playdates. One leash. Zero chill. All attitude. Jepp doesn’t do group projects; he is The Project. He’s a one-man wolf pack with a strong preference for being the only four-legged legend in every room. He’s still learning that humans aren’t just treat dispensers with legs. Give him time, snacks, and space — he’ll come around. Think of Jepp as a fixer-upper with a heart of gold buried under layers of “don’t touch me, until you know me.” Jepp thrives with older kids who understand sarcasm and don’t mind a little emotional mystery. Jepp believes walking is a competitive sport. He’s training for the Olympics — you just didn’t know you were his coach. He needs someone who can handle the legend… JEPP. Not all heroes wear capes. Some wear harnesses and pull like a freight train. If Jepp were a movie: It would not be on Lifetime, because Jepp does not do basic or basic cable. Save your pumpkin spice lattes for another, little dog. Jepp is a no cream & sugar in your black label dark roast by the gallon guy. If basic cable critics would dare to review Jepp: “Jepp delivers a performance so raw, it chews through the scenery — and your slippers.” — Barking Weekly “A tour de force of canine independence. Jepp doesn’t fetch — he commands.” — The Tail Times “If Clint Eastwood were a dog, he’d be Jepp.” — Paws & Popcorn Now accepting applications for foster or adopter co-stars. Must be teen-approved, emotionally resilient, and okay with being upstaged by a dog. Jepp’s looking for a temporary throne while he waits for his forever kingdom. If you have patience, dark humor, and a love for quirky underdogs (he is pretty short), Jepp might just be your next great adventure. My adoption fee is $350.00 and includes the following: -Spay/neuter surgery -All current vaccinations -Microchip -FREE wellness exam through VCA Animal Hospitals -$25 gift voucher from our friends at My Pet Market -One free private lesson in home or in shelter from Bryana.
