Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.Arlo is a sweet little guy, good with cats, dogs,  older kids only due to his size.  Just perfect for a lap! He is working on potty and leash training and socialization with the outside world. His adopter will need to continue this training.  He loves rolling around in the grass and thinks it's amazing! It's been fun showing him the great big world out there. He is very treat motivated (loves veggies!) and knows sit. Arlo loves to run around and play with his 3 doggie foster sisters and toys. He has a sweet temperament and is puppy playful.  Arlo is crate trained, up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped.   We are requiring that he have another dog to play with and a fenced yard.  He is very people oriented and is always at my side, so a stay at home person would be a bonus.   If you are interested in Arlo, please fill out an application at: https://reachoutrescue.rescuegroups.org/forms/form?formid=4588    Or contact: rorrcanine@gmail.com   *** Click here to sponsor this dog! *** Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 11, 2025, 12:36 pm

Story
Popcorn is about 18 lbs., 15 years old and according to Google lens, a West highland terrier. Animal Care Services thought he was a Maltese mix and foster mom thinks he could be a Schnauzer/Maltese mix but knows for sure that he is the cutest scruffy EVER! His journey hasn't been all snuggles and treats as he lived on someone's apartment patio for years, lying in poop, grass and other debris until Animal Care Services came for him and God's Dogs Rescue was able to save the little scamp. While he still loves his humans, other gentle pups his size (cats unknown) and his squishy toys and chewy, understandably he has a few emotional scars especially regarding vet visits and grooming. Slow, patient progress in these areas has helped him be more confident, but will need a patient adopter to help him adapt. Things that make Popcorn super happy are spending time with his humans after he gets to know them, car rides and walks in the park. He loves, loves his squishy toys and generally carries one around with him. His most favorite game is for his person to chase him and pretend to take his squishy away. He also like to run zooms and if there isn't a person to play with he will often throw his toys for himself. Doesn't that just make you want to throw his stuffies so he can play?? He's a healthy guy for his age with just a few old man issues (beginnings of cataracts) that he takes supplements for and should continue taking. His liver enzymes were high when tested but he is on a med to help them normalize. Can you give this boy the right lap to live in?? He needs very patient/knowledgeable adopters, no children- adult only because he will bite if afraid... It is a work in progress but he is becoming the goofy boy he was meant to be while living on the nasty hot and freezing porch for most of his 14 yrs :( GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
Meet Ariana (10 lbs) and Xena (12 lbs), two sweet 3-year-old Maltese–Bichon mix sisters looking for an experienced small-dog home. They’re a bonded pair who love to snuggle—Ariana sleeps close to her people, and Xena curls up at the foot of the bed. These girls are active, playful, and would thrive with an active family, ideally one with a fenced yard for daily exercise. They enjoy fetch, tag, and playing together, and may even do well in agility. Ariana is the calmer, more confident one, while Xena follows her lead. They are food-motivated, know basic commands, and are crate trained when left alone. They still need consistent housetraining and some leash-walking practice, especially Xena, but they’re smart and eager to learn. They are UTD on vaccinations and will be spayed through HSLC. They can be vocal at times, especially when they hear noises outside. If you’re looking for a loving, energetic pair who will bring lots of affection and fun into your home, Ariana and Xena just might be your perfect match. Thanks to a generous sponsor, Ariana and Xena are BOGO-you get two great pups and one of their adoption fees is waived!

Story
Meet Alex — Your New Best Snuggle Buddy!   Looking for a calm, gentle soul to fill your home with love?  Alex , a 10-year-old Maltese with a heart of pure gold, might be  the one you’ve been waiting for .  At 10, Alex has mastered what really matters in life: &#226&#156&#168   loving his people &#226&#156&#168   snuggling like a champion &#226&#156&#168   keeping the peace He’ll curl up beside you for hours — on the couch, in bed, wherever you are. If you’ve ever dreamed of having a fluffy little shadow who loves you endlessly, Alex is your guy. Cat lovers, pay attention!  Alex  adores  cats. He lights up around them, and we’re pretty sure he lived with them before joining his foster family. If you’ve got a friendly feline at home, Alex will fit right in. What about dogs?  Alex prefers calm, polite pups. Big dogs make him nervous, and rowdy puppies can overwhelm him. That’s why we believe he’d thrive in a  quiet, low-key home  — the kind of place where he can relax, feel safe, and spend his afternoons lounging peacefully. Don’t let his age fool you — he’s in great shape!  Alex  loves  his walks and struts along beautifully on a leash. He may not know a ton of commands, but he’s incredibly intuitive — he watches you, reads the room, and figures out what you’re asking. He just wants to make his people happy. Kids?  We haven’t seen him around children yet, so a kid-free or older-kid home is likely best. If you’ve got a quiet home, a comfy couch, and room in your heart for the sweetest senior Maltese on the planet,  Alex is ready to love you forever. Come meet Alex — and let him show you what unconditional love feels like. Adoption fee: $375, includes all shots, sterilized, heartworm negative, dewormed, flea preventative, microchip   If you are interested in adopting, please fill out an application and a representative will get back to you shortly to answer any questions you may have. The adoption policies and applications can be found at the following links: https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-cat and https://fancycats.org/adopt-a-dog. Email us at  adoption@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued cats. Email us at dogadoptions@fancycats.org for general questions about our rescued dogs. See our calendar of adoption events at https://fancycats.org/(scroll towards bottom) You can save animals like this one by becoming a foster! Fosters are like bridges between high kill shelters and forever homes. We need fosters so that we can save cats and dogs before they are euthanized at the shelters. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please visit: https://fancycats.org/volunteerNovember 25, 2025, 4:08 pm

Story
Meet Ozzie. In mid-November, this incredibly sweet little dog found himself in a dire situation. He wasn’t feeling well, so his family took him to the vet. Shockingly, their recommended solution was to put Ozzie to sleep. Thankfully, the vet couldn’t bring himself to go through with it. Instead, he asked Ozzie’s family to release him into his care, and they agreed. He immediately called Critter Cavalry, and Ozzie’s story took a hopeful turn.   After a second thorough exam and x-rays, it was determined that nothing was seriously wrong with Ozzie. He only seemed to have some mild back pain, which resolved after a short course of medication. The moment Miss Dawn arrived home and Ozzie heard the other dogs, his spirits lifted. He happily bounded out of the car, and in no time, he was running around the backyard with his new friends.   Ozzie is a very sweet little man who is 7 years old and 9 lbs.  He is very friendly.  Ozzie gets along great with other dogs.  He does not meet a 4 legged stranger.  He also loves people.  Ozzie would do best in an all-adult home with another small dog to play with.  He is happy boy who just brings a smile to your face.  Don’t you want a similar smile on your face!!     To be considered for Ozzie’s forever family and to request an adoption application please contact Vivienne at vivienneajames@gmail.com.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Ozzie is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)December 11, 2025, 7:13 pm
