Story
Adora is a gorgeous, 22 lb, 1.5-year-old girl that absolutely loves love! Adora came from a local gas station along the Texas/Mexico border where she lived for what we think, almost her whole life. She was not spayed at the time, and she was brought to our attention from the employees who said a bunch of male dogs were always chasing her. We couldn’t let that go, and stepped in to get her safe at the first of July 2026. Adora is what the foster considers a perfect dog. Cats? Great with cats! Dogs? She loves other dogs but would be fine without other dogs! Leash Trained? She is leash trained! What is a fun quirk about her? If she thinks you’re leaving, she will throw herself in front of you and roll on her back to guarantee she gets belly rubs before you go. She will ALWAYS make sure she gets her belly rubs in. Adora is calmer, but gets super excited with human attention. We think it’s because she has not had much attention living at that gas station. It’s so normal to see stray dogs in the area. Adora loves exploring and would be great as an adventure partner as well as a dog that can just hang out at home and in the backyard. If you live an apartment, please consider a lot of activity and/or even doggy daycare. She is such a Velcro girl, and is so loyal. She would be WONDERFUL with children. Adora is crate trained and working on mastering house training. A home who understands she needs some work, is a must. She knows how to sit and is very much a people pleaser. Loyalty is her middle name. Adora is always seeking attention from her humans. Someone home more often than not is preferred. Adora is spayed, heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport. PLEASE READ BELOW: To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals out in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We ONLY do adopt in Central US and the East Coast. The adoption fee listed ($625) INCLUDES transport from Texas to the Northeast. Transport goes to the following locations every 2-3 weeks: Albany, NY Wells, VT and Brattleboro, VT Nashua, NH – Only one transport company goes here, times vary Willington, CT - Stamford, CT - Dayville, CT Steubenville, OH – Cincinnati, OH – Grove City, OH Grove City, PA and Washington, PA Ridgefield, NJ and Mt Laurel, NJ Emmitsburg, MD and Elkton, MD Falls Church, VA and Glenn Allen, VA We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is best fit for your home. With an approved application, we do put you in touch with the Texas foster who has the doggy for you to make sure the pup is the perfect fit

Story
Meet Jessie Marshmallow Toy Story! Meet Jessie Marshmallow Toy Story, a tiny puppy currently estimated to be about 3 months old. We believe this little one may be a Jack Russell Terrier mix, but as with many rescue puppies, her exact breed blend is a mystery. What isn’t a mystery is that she is absolutely precious. Watch Jessie and her siblings in their video! https://youtu.be/zv1xI6w6QDQ?si=Zh_erTHktJ4bhzas Jessie looks like a tiny marshmallow that sprouted legs and decided to become a puppy. With her fluffy white coat, sweet little face, button nose, and bright puppy eyes, she has the kind of cuteness that makes people instantly melt. This beautiful little girl is currently growing up in a loving foster home surrounded by dogs, cats, children, and people of all ages. Every day is filled with snuggles, socialization, puppy playtime, and plenty of naps as she learns about the world around her. Jessie is the kind of puppy who wakes up every morning convinced it’s going to be the best day ever. She greets life with a happy little bounce, an eager tail wag, and endless curiosity about whatever is happening around her. Whether she’s investigating a new toy, following her siblings into their next adventure, or proudly carrying around a treasure she found, Jessie has a joyful spirit that’s wonderfully contagious. She’s playful without being over-the-top and affectionate without ever being demanding. Jessie loves a good game of puppy chase or a wrestling match with her siblings, but she’s just as content being scooped into someone’s arms for a cuddle session. She has a sweet, easygoing personality that makes it feel like she’s been everyone’s best friend from the very beginning. Growing up surrounded by dogs, cats, children, and people of all ages has helped Jessie become a confident and social little girl. She enjoys making new friends, embraces new experiences with curiosity, and always seems ready for whatever fun comes next—especially if toys, belly rubs, or treats happen to be involved. Like all young puppies, Jessie will need a family committed to training, socialization, patience, and consistency. We require adopters to begin crate training immediately to help establish routine, build confidence, and support potty training success as she grows. Puppies like Jessie are among the most vulnerable animals in rescue. By choosing adoption, you’re not only changing her life forever, but you’re also helping create space for another puppy who desperately needs a second chance. If you’re looking for a puppy who can turn an ordinary afternoon into an adventure, who believes every new person is a friend waiting to happen, and who will happily end each day curled up in your lap, Jessie Marshmallow Toy Story is ready to bring a lifetime of love, laughter, and puppy kisses to her forever family.

Story
Meet Mr. Potato Tiktak Toy Story! Meet Mr. Potato Tiktak Toy Story, a tiny puppy currently estimated to be about 4 months old. We believe this little one may be a Jack Russell Terrier/Rat Terrier mix, but as with many rescue puppies, his exact breed blend is a mystery. What isn’t a mystery is that he’s ridiculously cute. Watch Mr. Potato and his siblings in their video! https://youtu.be/zv1xI6w6QDQ?si=Zh_erTHktJ4bhzas With his adorable tri-colored face, expressive puppy eyes, tiny floppy ears, and bright white coat, Mr. Potato looks like he was designed by a committee whose only goal was maximum cuteness. He even looks like he’s permanently posing for school picture day in his little bow tie. Mr. Potato is currently growing up in a loving foster home surrounded by dogs, cats, children, and lots of people. Because of this, he’s getting an incredible start to life and learning that the world is a wonderful place full of friends, adventures, toys, and snacks. Mr. Potato has never met a stranger—only future best friends. Whether you’re a kid ready to play, another dog looking for a wrestling buddy, or an adult with open arms, he’s all in. He has a happy, people-loving personality that makes him the kind of puppy who wants to be wherever the fun is happening. If everyone is gathered in one room, you can bet Mr. Potato will be right in the middle of it. He’s a playful little guy with a big love for toys and puppy games. He happily bounces around with his siblings, starts playful wrestling matches, and proudly carries toys around as if he’s showing off his latest prize. His joyful energy is contagious, and he somehow manages to make even the simplest moments feel like a celebration. As much as he loves to play, Mr. Potato is equally devoted to cuddle time. Being held is one of his favorite things in the world, and he’s perfectly content to melt into your arms after a busy day of adventures. He especially adores children and seems to naturally gravitate toward them, happily accepting pets, snuggles, and all the attention they have to offer. Growing up with dogs, cats, children, and people of all ages has helped Mr. Potato become a wonderfully social and confident puppy. He’s learning that the world is full of kind people, exciting adventures, and endless opportunities to love and be loved. Like all young puppies, Mr. Potato will need a family committed to training, socialization, patience, and consistency. We require adopters to begin crate training immediately to help build confidence, establish routine, and support potty training success as he grows. Puppies like Mr. Potato are among the most vulnerable animals in rescue. By choosing adoption, you’re not only changing his life forever, but you’re also helping create space for another puppy who desperately needs a second chance.
