Story
Our B litter is ready for adoption! This sweet litter of pups are about 9-10 weeks, born around mid-November 2024. These puppies are some of the lucky ones – a good Samaritan saw a mangy, starving dog eating scrap someone threw out in a back corner of a Mexican restaurant by a dumpster. She couldn’t turn away. The good Samaritan was going to just help mom, when she realized mom looks to have just had puppies. It’s like the momma dog knew someone was there to help, and she turned away from the scrap food and started walking down the street. The good Samaritan followed this momma dog for almost 2 miles to a home, where when they walked up, 7 puppies came running out from under the house (see video!) The homeowner didn’t claim mom or puppies, nor did she want anything to do with them. She refused to feed them or offer them shelter. It took some time, but after a few days, we were able to get all 7 pups and mom to safety. Mom is about 32 lbs and has a wire-hair coat, we have named her Lainey and she will also be available for adoption soon. We do not know who dad is. We believe pups will vary in size with the 2 runts (Baby ad Belle) staying smaller than the others – but generally we believe they will stay around 40 lbs. Please keep in mind that these puppies had minimal human interaction until a few weeks ago, but they are now in their prime age for impression, training and growing in a home to learn from. They all would do wonderfully with well-behaved children, other dogs and cats. They did not chase stray cats at the home they were at and they LOVE other dogs. Here’s a breakdown of the litter and some information on each one: All weights are as of 1/19/25 Baby – Male Runt – 7.5 lbs – Black and white (tri color) – Semi wirehair and very short hair – does not seem to shed much, if at all – Very playful. Very outgoing. Fun to watch play as he is so much tinier than the other pups. Daring. First pup to try anything. Aims to please. Wants to be next to you and get lots of love and love you. All homes would be ideal, all ages of children would be great for Baby. Belle – Female Runt – 4.4 lbs – Black and White – Wirehair – Does not seem to shed – She is quite timid but friendly and does come around. Will make the best baby. She defends herself against all the other bigger pups. Fierce and won’t let anyone pick on her. Is learning to play with toys. Could be a lap dog with lots of patience. Minimal-mild active home that is patient. Beau – Male – 10.2 lbs – Brown and White – Wirehair – Does not seem to shed – Needs someone with some patience. He is a bit timid and would rather watch everyone else play before joining. He would do best with another dog in the home. Beau is learning to trust people and his surroundings. Minimal-Mild Active home that is patient. Bree – Female – 11.4 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – She is a hoot to have around. She loves to talk to you and is very vocal. She doesn’t mind telling you how she feels. She’s more of a leader and she keeps all the other puppies in check and in their place. If any of them start bickering, Bree will be there to break it up. She’s not afraid to test the waters and try anything new. A bit shorter of legs and stocky build. A more active home is preferred. Blue – Male – 12.4 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – This gentle giant boy is so sweet. He is the biggest of the litter. He is very curious but won’t try anything first. He will stand back and watch. He is learning to trust humans and his surroundings. Very smart. Blue would be great with another dog to teach him or someone willing to put in the time and patience for training and socialization. Would love someone to force cuddles on him so he can learn to fully love people. Not a mean bone in his body. Mildly active home ideal, with patience. Biscuit – Male – 11.1 lbs – Brown and White – Wire Hair – Does not seem to shed – This lover boy is the most timid of the group of pups. The foster left him with his mom so she can help build his confidence and not be bullied by his siblings. He is very submissive. Needs a family or person that is patient, kind and understands he does need socialization and lots of love. Ideally no young children given how timid he is. Bear – Male – 11.3 lbs – Black and White – Short hair, minimal shedding – One of the most outgoing pups of the litter! He is one of the few that came around super quickly and is super lovable, huggable and amazing all around. He LOVES to be held in your arms and rocked like a baby or just carried around. He would rather be with you than anywhere else. His next favorite thing is belly rubs. He will roll over in a heartbeat to get some belly rubs and stay there until you can’t anymore. He is a very relaxed pup and doesn’t run around too much. Chill. Mildly active home and all age children would be perfect. All of these puppies will make wonderful and loyal companions. Please watch the video to see mom when she was first found, to when the good Samaritan found the house, to the puppies safe and sound and enjoying their first toys. All puppies are current on age appropriate vaccinations, preventions, dewormer, microchipped and will receive a clean bill of health from a veterinarian prior to receiving the animal. Please consider adopting today – To apply to adopt: www.pawsitive-impact-animal-rescue.org

Story
Meet Manny Manny is a loving and affectionate 10 month old Jack Russell terrier (17 pounds). He is very sweet but not so good with dogs so looking for a home without other pets.

Housebroken with frequent trips outside, and has lived with kids.Very loving, and as with the jack russell breed, he is very active PLEASE NOTE- AN APPLICATION FROM THE WEBSITE ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG IS REQUIRED prior to any meet and greet.

Story
Grasshopper is a 1 year old male Jack Russell that really lives up to his shelter name as he can jump high like a grasshopper! Grasshopper was brought to the shelter as stray, so we do not know of his past. Grasshopper is an active young dog; he needs a home that will engage with him and keep his mind/body busy (not a lay around on the couch type dog). He is true to his terrier breed and will need continued work with obedience training. He is not recommended for a first-time dog owner(s) and would do best in an experienced dog savvy home. Grasshopper can be a bit cautious at first until he knows you and will need to go to a home with children older than 8 years old. Grasshopper can be a reactive with other dogs he does not know, shelter staff have been working with him to build up his confidence. However, this will need to be continued behavioral training worked with him in a new home. Possible adopters will need to bring their dog(s) in to meet Grasshopper to make sure it is a good match.

Story
Sequoia was born 2/14/2020. Mom and Dad are a Chihuahua and A Jack Russell. We got her from a friend when she was 8 weeks old. She is now about 12 lbs. She has been spayed. She is pad trained. She has coprophagia. She comes with 2 wooden crates, car blanket with free walking strap, heating pads for her crates(She gets cold easily). Sequoia loves to be held. She likes to play keep-away with her ball. She does shed a lot. She LOVES belly rubs and scratches behind her ears. She doesn't like to have her nails clipped, but she has a harness to make it easier to manage her. I love my baby so much and it's so hard to rehome her, but I have no choice. She loves people. Don't let her get to tissues, paper towels, napkins or toilet paper. She will shred them and try to eat the strips. Yes, she is a yapper!!! Will let you know when someone comes near your home. Just want someone to love and care for her. She deserves it.

Story
Meet Goose! This little lady came to us all the way back in January 2024 after she was found dumped alongside several other dogs. Goose has spent most of her time learning that people are not so scary and that she can have two-legged friends as well as four-legged friends. Goose is looking for an extremely quiet, patient home that will allow her to come into her personality at her own pace. She is not a fan of being held, or pet by new people. She LOVES treats. Snacks are the quickest way to Goose's heart. That, or if you have a doggy pal to keep her company. We would prefer Goose go to a home with another dog as she loves the company of other dogs. They seem to give her a very big boost in confidence and she can always be found snuggled up with her buddies. Goose is still working on her leash walking and has been doing okay with walking with a slip lead. We have not tried to put a collar/harness on her and would recommend her adopters use a slip lead on her until she is more settled. If you have some extra TLC to give and a calm, quiet home then stop by and visit her today! Goose is spayed, vaccinated and microchipped.

Story
Sullivan - neutered male, 9 months, 39 lbs. Meet Sullivan! Sullivan came to us as a stray, but it was later determined that he was owned. Now, Sullivan is ready to find a home to call his own! Sullivan is very outgoing and friendly. He loves everyone he meets and will happily greet people with hugs! This bouncy boy is always moving! He is one wiggly pup. Sullivan loves treats! He knows "sit" and enjoys a tasty snack as a reward! Sullivan's previous owners did say that Sullivan does well with other dogs, but he does not share his toys and food well with them. So, Sullivan will need a home who understands he will need to be fed separately if he were to have doggy friends living with him. Sullivan does well with cats. If this little pup is the one for you, please fill out an application for him today! Sullivan is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.
