Story
Axl is a 3-month-old Maltese/Schnauzer mix weighing just 5.5 pounds, with an adorable scruffy face, soft puppy fur, and curious eyes. Axl’s playful, affectionate, and always ready for his next adventure, whether that means zooming around with toys, exploring the world one tiny paw step at a time, or curling up in your lap for snuggles after playtime. Axl is the perfect mix of fun and sweet. He loves attention, and has the kind of happy puppy energy that makes every day brighter. He’s still learning all the important puppy basics and will thrive with a family willing to give him patience, love, guidance, and lots of treats along the way. In return, he promises endless puppy kisses, loyal companionship, and a lifetime of unconditional love. Because he’s still just a baby, Axl is looking for a forever home committed to helping him grow into the confident, happy dog he’s meant to be. He would love a family ready for puppy adventures, cozy cuddle sessions, and making memories together for years to come. If you’ve been searching for a tiny best friend with a playful spirit, loving heart, and irresistible charm, Axl may just be your perfect match. Apply for consideration to adopt at www.ruffdogrescue.org  Please note, we receive a large number of applications. We appreciate your patience as we complete our review processes.

Story
Dastan isn’t just a dog—he’s a loyal, big-hearted companion waiting to be someone’s whole world. This loving boy thrives on attention and affection, and he’s happiest when he can soak up every bit of love you have to give. Dastan would do best as the only pet in the home, where he can truly shine and build a deep, one-on-one bond with his person. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who will greet you with excitement, stay by your side, and fill your days with warmth, Dastan is ready to give you his whole heart.*Please be aware that he follows a strict low-fat diet, and his treats must be made with limited, simple ingredients.He will also need dental care and vaccinations completed immediately, looking for someone prepared to take that on right away.I am hoping to find a home that understands his needs and is ready to provide the care and attention he deserves. Please only apply if you are confident you can meet these requirements.

To adopt her, please apply on www.orphanannierescue.org Her adoption fee is $450, which includes her shots up-to-date, microchipping, spay, heartworm testing, and dental cleaning.
