Story
First and foremost, I am ONLY rehoming her due to my health issues. She is the SWEETEST dog EVER. Sophie is a GREAT alert dog, only really barks if somebody is too close to the door. She loves laying on pillows, getting massages and belly rubs. She does High 5 and give hugs. Sophie is 10 years old but life expectancy for a Morkie (half Yorkie and half Maltese= Morkie) is 17 to 25 years. She is in great health, has great teeth, clean, clean ears. Sophie is not house broken but if you have a house with a SECURE back yard and take her out WITH YOU, no worries. I put her in diapers, just cheap baby diapers size 2 in the house, she's fine. Occasionally I glove up and shampoo her bootie. Sophie is wonderful with kids but she is scared of all other animals. She would be best to be the only pet. Serious inquiries only.

Story
1 year old terrier mix boy looking for his forever home. Hansel has spent his first year of life living mostly outside, but you could have fooled me. He's doing great after only 2 days at my house. Not one accident in the house and learning to use the dog door. He's as sweet as can be and loves people. He has transitioned very well into my busy house with other dogs, cats, and kids. I would say another dog friend is a must for him. Helps with his confidence and learning routines." ✅️ current on vaccines ✅️ heartworm negative ✅️ neuter surgery pending ✅️ cat, dog and kid friendly ✅️ rocking potty training ✅️ sleeping quietly through the night in crate Don't wait! He will get scooped up quick. Apply TODAY! Www.scdrm.com/adopt

Story
♥️ Meet the Jellybeans, Jelly & Bean!♥️   These two precious little souls have a heartbreaking story, but we are determined to give them the happiest ending!   Jelly is an adorable 12-pound, long-haired Dachshund mix who will absolutely melt in your arms. She is incredibly sweet, gentle, and full of love.    Bean is a darling 10-pound Doodle mix with the cutest little face and an equally sweet personality.    Sadly, Jelly and Bean were abandoned at an apartment complex. After their owners moved out, these two little ones stayed outside the vacant apartment for over eight hours, scratching at the door and waiting for someone who wasn’t coming back.   Thankfully, they are now safe in our care!   Both have been examined by our veterinarian, and we are so grateful they tested heartworm negative! They are now up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and dewormed. Their spay and neuter procedures will be scheduled soon.   Jelly and Bean are a bonded pair and will ONLY be adopted together. After everything they’ve been through, we want them to spend the rest of their lives side by side.   We are now accepting adoption applications for these two little sweethearts!   Apply at TexasACR.org   Let’s find the Jellybeans a forever family who will never leave them behind again.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.  We are a non-profit 501c3 Animal Rescue located in Dallas/Fort Worth, Texas. Our passion is centered around assisting animals that have been abandoned, neglected, or abused. We are a foster-based rescue consisting of 100% volunteers. If you are interested in becoming a foster, please email info@TexasACR.org   October 27, 2026, 3:41 pm

Story
Meet Hugo!Hugo is a gentle and affectionate 10-year-old sweetheart who is ready to spend his golden years in a home of his own. This calm, easygoing boy is wonderfully non-reactive and would much rather be by your side than anywhere else. He’s the perfect little shadow and will happily follow his person wherever they go.Hugo is also a very good communicator—he only barks when he needs to go outside! He does not like being in a crate and becomes very stressed when confined, so he’ll need a home where a crate isn’t necessary.Hugo is blind in his left eye, but don’t let that fool you—it doesn’t slow this boy down one bit!All Hugo really needs is a loving person and a quiet place to hang his hat for his golden years. If you have room in your heart and home for a sweet senior companion, Hugo is waiting for you.To set up a meet and greet or inquire about a dog, please first fill out an application at https://savinghoperescue.org/adopt. It doesn`t obligate you, but it is the first step. We don`t get to all of the inquiries but respond to all applications. Thank you for choosing to rescue!
