Story
Hello there! My name is Betti Boo and I am looking for a new home! I never thought that at 7 years old I would have to look for a new home but unfortunately, my previous owner has disappeared off the face of the earth somehow. I ended up getting confiscated by the police and held at animal control for a long time. But, I was sprung from jail by God's Dogs and after a visit to the vet, I am ready to find a new home to call my own! Foster mom says I tend to be a little bossy to the other little dogs at her house and that I will even try to chase them away from their food bowls at meal times. And I guess I have to admit to doing that, and I am getting used to having to eat by myself. I love to be with people and will follow you all around the house, and am interested in everything you are doing. I can be ok for a little while by myself if I am in my crate so I can feel safe, but if you can take me with you, that is good too. I walk pretty well on a leash. I basically ignore the cat that lives here, and get along with all the dogs, even the big ones. My beautiful hair had some mats in it and it is a little funky on my bottom, but I am still beautiful. It is like I have an apricot undercoat with a white overcoat. Really stylish I believe. Anyhow, if you would like to give me my forever home, please fill out the application and I will be waiting to meet you!! Local adoption fee is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $600 (includes transport to your area, $50 temporary fuel fee will be included)

Story
Well hello there, my name is Lilly! I'm an 18 month old Morkie (that's a Maltese/Yorkshire Terrier mix!) and I weigh in at 8lbs. Are you looking for a new adventuresome furry sidekick? Well look no further, you just found her, er, me! People are just hands down my favorite thing in the world. Running, playing, and kicking up my heels daily is a must in my book. I'm a very bouncy, very active girl that is always up for outdoor time and walks. I LOVE to play endlessly with canine friends and having my own fur sibling in my new home would be awesome (as long as they can tolerate bouncy, endless play!) Kids? Sure! I'd be happy to have human siblings 6 years of age and older, if they can keep up with me wink wink! If you would like more information about me, please contact my talent agent Michelle at michelle.p@poainc.org AND please complete an adoption application ASAP at www.poainc.org

Story
Effie and LV they are a bonded pair of 10-year-old dogs who are in need of a loving and caring home. These sweet pups love people and cuddling, and are already house trained, making them the perfect companions for anyone looking to add some furry love to their life. Effie, a Maltese Shih Tzu, is a beautiful white pup with a heart of gold, while LV, a Havanese Shih Tzu mix, is a charming black and white furball who will steal your heart with her playful antics. These lovely dogs are free to a good home, as their previous owner is unable to care for them due to medical reasons. By adopting Effie and LV, you will not only be giving them a second chance at a happy life, but also opening your heart and home to two loyal and loving companions who will bring endless joy and happiness to your life. If you are interested in adopting them or meeting them please reach out!
