Story
NAME: Blythe Sex: male Color/Pattern: black and white tuxedo Breed: Terrier mix Weight: ~15-20 lbs Age at intake: ~4-5 months BDAY approx: ~ Sept 11, 2024 Intake date : Jan 11, 2025 Found date: Jan 9 Coat length: very short Description BLYTHE is a sleek and shiny, black and white boo boo with Dumbo ears. He is responsive, yet quiet, only reacting when spoken to. Personality This little guy we named Blythe, was very quiet and submissive the first few days in his foster home. He gets wiggly and excited when you pay him affection. Blythe is a sweetie, submissive and obedient. He likes to hang out in his crate with the door open where he feels safe to watch from there. He became very playful once he felt more confident in his new digs after a few days. He loves going outside and doesn't mind the weather no matter what it is. He picks up on commands quickly and learns from other dogs' examples. He was already doing well with potty training and socializing within 1 week of picking him up off the street. This puppy is an easy boy who loves being loved, and is low maintenance, but high reward in reciprocating affection. Background Blythe was probably only about 4 months old when found abandoned at a long term stay hotel along 290 in Houston the 2nd week of January 2025. Management had called animal control but no one came to get him. It was cold and he was skin and bones. He was living under a staircase for 5 days where residents had given him a hotel towel to sleep on. When he heard the volunteer call to him he started wiggling excitedly and licking her hands. He was timid and resistant about being put on a leash, but then he was quiet and very good on the ride home in the truck, even when a 2nd dog was also picked up. Happy to announce that he had already filled back out 1 week later after eating well, and playing with all other foster dogs.

Rae Rae is about 5 months old , very playful, he likes carrying sticks, toys are and playing keep away. I found him abandoned by my neighbor after they moved I would go over and feed him thinking they just couldn’t get back in time but they never returned. I travel a lot and feel he deserves an owner that could give him more care.

Story
Her previous owner took her to my home to get euthanized and to our surprise she was perfectly healthy so I decided to take her in as a foster to find her a home. Unfortunately, I haven't found her a home and she's a very good dog but she's alone for most of the day and she needs someone who's able to give her that attention and love she needs. She is kennel trained but after a while she begins to get anxious if she's there for too long as well if there's thunder. She waits in the morning and after work to use the restroom but does pull towards other pets around her.never aggressively just very curious. Yet my roommate and I haven't taken that chance to let her go with other dogs. I have a ferret that she plays with here and there as well as a cat and dog interactions where she's curious and playful but never barks. She's a good girl who needs a loving home.

Story
Meet Rita, aka "Pumpernickel"! Rita is a distinguished senior lady of about 12–13 years old and 11 pounds of pure sweetness. With her gentle nature, laid-back personality, and adorable goofy streak, Rita has perfected the art of enjoying life's simple pleasures. This lovely little lady is happiest when she's stretched out in a sunny spot for an afternoon nap, curled up beside her favorite person for cuddles, or settling in for a cozy Netflix marathon. Rita is a world-class snuggler who believes that pets, affection, and snacks are among life's greatest treasures—and honestly, she's not wrong. Rita has a calm, easygoing personality that makes her a wonderful companion. She currently lives in a foster home with other dogs and mostly ignores them, preferring to do her own thing. Because of her relaxed demeanor, she would be perfectly happy as your one and only pet or sharing her home with other gentle, respectful canine companions. If you're looking for a loyal friend who will happily keep you company through lazy Sundays, afternoon naps, and late-night binge-watching sessions, Rita is ready to fill that role with grace, charm, and a little bit of Pumpernickel-powered silliness. Senior dogs like Rita have a special kind of magic—they know how to love deeply, appreciate every moment, and remind us to slow down and enjoy the sunshine. Rita is being fostered in Houston, TX. She is available for adoption locally or out of state. If adopted out of state (to the NE) she would come to her new home via professional transport. To request an app, email info@joyrides.org

Story
Meet Sushi 🤍 Sushi was surrendered to our rescue after coming from a very bad situation. He arrived with a gash on his head and a deep fear of men, carrying fear and uncertainty that no dog should ever have to live with. Despite his past, Sushi has slowly started to blossom into the sweetest little goofy chiweenie with such a loving personality. He can be a bit shy at first, but once he feels safe, he truly enjoys being loved on, pampered, and treated like the little prince he is. Sushi has never truly known what it means to be part of a family. While he is very loved here at the rescue, he would thrive in a calm, patient home where he can finally receive the consistent love and attention he deserves. He does well with other dogs and is also great with cats. Underneath his timid beginning is a dog who just wants comfort, safety, and someone to finally show him what forever feels like. ❤️
