Story
Minnie is a happy playful girl at just over one year old and 28 pounds. She came to PAW labeled as Border Collie, but her foster thinks she is more Jack Russell Terrier mixed with some kind of retriever that gives her a beautiful coat. In her foster home, she has two dogs to play with--and she loves to play. She would probably do best in a home where she has another resident dog, and a fenced-in yard where she can run. When she tires out from all that play, she loves to lie in your lap or on your foot. Minnie will "follow you around and will lean into you or attempt to sit on part of you if you are still," says her foster. She wants to be with her person/people all of the time! She trusts her person and will let him/her take things from her that she shouldn't have. Minnie loves her toys and will run around the house with them, chewing them, tossing them in the air, and bringing them to her foster to engage.  She is working on leash training every day. She is very smart and motivated by treats, so she's been quick to learn and she wants to please. She is always very friendly and affectionate with everyone when not being held back by a leash. Her housetraining is also improving but may need some work and reinforcement. Like any young dog, she likes to chew but an assortment of hard chew toys in her foster home has kept her occupied and out of trouble. Minnie would do well in a home where she can be walked with regularity and given playtime and training. Her foster believes that she wold be fine with respectful kids over five-years old. She can be a "bull in a china shop" at times and would possibly step on or knock over smaller ones.  Minnie can be afraid of a quick approach, and needs a stable and calm home, one in which she can feel safe. That being said, she warms up quickly and then sweetly trusts. Minnie has visited the foster's neighbor, who has a cat, and although it was sleeping upstairs Minnie sniffed all of the cat stuff (beds, scratch pads, etc) with casual interest…..far different than the fixed, assertive stance she takes when near the scent of a squirrel, so she may be able to cohabitate with felines, but we are not yet sure. Minnie is a fun dog to be around. She is very agile, and can leap and run, so she is a perfect candidate for agility training. If you want a loving, energetic companion, Minnie is the perfect dog for you. PAW adopts in the MD, northern VA, DC, southern PA region. ##2627837##

However, I am not a fan of strangers in my home or on walks, and I can be protective of my people. I prefer slow introductions and I'll be fine once I get to know you.      My ideal home would be a rural one with a fenced yard. I am well behaved in the house and crate trained.  I’m eager to please and I like to learn. Honestly, I just want someone to love full time and I hope that person is you.  Apply today and come meet me ASAP!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, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.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.orgSPONSOR ME! Help Save Lives!    Make a tax-deductible donation today and help save a life.

Story
Bougie Gal!MEET PARIS!  Ms. Paris likes to stay in the Hilton brand when she’s traveling because she loves the finer things in life. Ha! But seriously, she is a fun little dog who enjoys being in loving homes after having served her time in a shelter waiting to be adopted. Once ‘home’, she started being a dog. One that likes to do all the doggy things; like bark out the window, sleep on the couch, pull her owner around the block on walks, and eat all the yummy treats. Unfortunately, her new owner hadn’t had a younger dog in a while (she’s 6 years old) and didn’t account for the energy that a younger dog brings into a home. While not destructive, Paris was too much for her senior owner.  Now in her Tara’s House foster home, Paris is awaiting her furever family. She is still that happy girl who has a zest for life and her energy isn’t any more than average. Her foster mom reports that she is wonderful. (There are no other dogs in the home, but Paris lived with a senior cat at her adoptive home and was fine with it.) Outside the home; she is more high-strung because she didn’t have the strong leadership that her insecurities required. She also had been living the high life a little too long and needs to shed a few pounds. She currently weighs in at 24lbs, but don’t let her know we told you!  To that end, our wonderful partners at Ridgeside K9 Central MD will take Paris for their board and train program. There she will learn consistency and obedience, and will have all the foundations needed for future success. Paris’ future adopters will have a fabulously trained dog and will receive guidance on how to continue her on her learning path. Paris’ adoption donation fee is $400, which includes spay/neuter, routine vetting and a microchip. You can apply for her by filling out our online application, which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org.  Please email us at info@tarashouse.net with any questions.March 9, 2026, 12:19 pm

Thankfully, she is now safe with Pep’s Pals Rescue and finally getting the care, love, and comfort she deserves.   This adorable little pup is currently being treated for heartworm, and through it all she has remained gentle, loving, and incredibly affectionate. Sparkles enjoys being close to her people, soaking up attention, and giving those soulful puppy eyes that melt hearts instantly. She may be small, but her spirit is resilient and full of love.   Sparkles would thrive in a home that will continue to give her patience while she finishes treatment and settles into a safe, happy life. She is the kind of dog that forms deep bonds and simply wants to be someone’s cherished companion.   CURRENTLY IN TEXAS, BUT AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION AND TRANSPORT OUT OF STATE.

Story
Meet Ewok — the tiny scruffy survivor with the biggest heart.   Ewok was found alone as a stray in rural Texas, trying to survive on his own before finally finding safety with Pep’s Pals Rescue. Despite his difficult start to life, this sweet little boy has remained incredibly loving, gentle, and full of puppy charm.   This adorable pup is currently heartworm positive and undergoing treatment, but he is doing wonderfully and soaking up all the love and care he can get. Ewok may be small, but he is resilient, brave, and already showing everyone what a happy, loyal companion he will become.   With his fluffy “teddy bear” face, soulful eyes, and scruffy puppy hair, Ewok turns heads everywhere he goes. He loves attention, enjoys cuddling close to his people, and is learning that life can be safe and full of kindness.   Ewok is still very much a puppy and would thrive in a home that can continue guiding him as he grows. He deserves a family that will give him patience during his recovery, lots of affection, and all the love he missed out on before rescue.   Ewok is currently fostered in Texas but available for adoption and transport out of state.   His adoption fee is $350. Transport ranges from $200–$250 depending on location. Health certificates typically range from $50–$100.   Our dogs are transported to a predetermined location agreed upon by the rescue. The adoption contract and fee are finalized prior to transport.   If you’ve been searching for a tiny best friend with a huge personality and an even bigger heart, Ewok is waiting to meet you.   ##2729376##
