Story
Meet Xolo! Breed: Norfolk Terrier Mix Birthday: 10/28/2025 age: 3 years old Weight: 17 Pounds Health: Healthy, vaccinated, and neutered — though he’s in great shape, please schedule a visit with your own vet soon after adoption to establish care and keep him feeling his best! Personality Xolo is a joyful little gentleman with a heart that just wants to belong. He has that classic Terrier sparkle — smart, affectionate, and always ready for a bit of fun. Whether he’s exploring the yard, curling up for movie night, or greeting you at the door with his happy tail, Xolo radiates love. He’s loyal to his people and has that perfect balance of spunk and sweetness that makes him the kind of dog who just fits right in. Breed Info Norfolk Terriers are small but mighty! They’re known for their spirited energy, courage, and affectionate nature. A Norfolk mix like Xolo typically weighs around 12–16 pounds and thrives in homes that give both playtime and cuddles. They’re alert, smart, and make wonderful companions for active or relaxed families alike. Owner Responsibilities Provide daily walks, stimulation, and playtime to satisfy his terrier instincts. Offer love, structure, and consistency — he’s happiest with routine and gentle guidance. Keep up with regular vet care, heartworm prevention, grooming, and nutrition. Be patient and understanding as he adjusts to a new rhythm of life. Things to Consider Before adopting, think about: Do you have time for daily attention, affection, and exercise? Is your landlord pet-friendly and does your home allow dogs? Are you prepared for the lifelong costs of vet care, grooming, and food? Do you plan to stay in a stable home and routine for years to come? Every dog needs patience — especially rescues who may need time to trust again. The 3-3-3 Rule First 3 days: Everything feels new. Xolo will need space, comfort, and calm reassurance. First 3 weeks: He’ll start learning your home, your schedule, and your heart. First 3 months: Trust blossoms, and he’ll know he’s truly home — safe, loved, and understood. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Commitment for Life Adopting Xolo means promising to be his forever family — through every season, every adventure, and every wag of his tail. Why Xolo Would Be a Great Addition Xolo is the kind of dog who fills every quiet corner of your home with love and laughter. He’s small enough to snuggle in your arms but big enough in heart to make every day brighter. Loyal, affectionate, and endlessly loving, Xolo is ready to bring joy and warmth into the life of whoever is lucky enough to call him theirs.

Story
Watch his video: (copy and paste into a new browser window) https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aeKj9ffGZXc Scruffy is a roughly 1 year old super sweet 25 lb guy who wants nothing more than to cuddle up to his human in bed. He loves other dogs and is great with cats. He does well in a crate and walks well on a leash. He was found as a stray in a rural town with a shelter that euthanizes dogs after 3 days no matter what so we rescued him. He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found. Note: No dogs are advertised as potty-trained because most dogs need at least some re-training in a new environment and after being in a shelter/rescue environment/strays. www.facebook.com/desideratarescue (copy and paste into a new browser window) Transport locations: - Washington State (Kennewick, Spokane, Tumwater, Tacoma, Tukwila, Lynnwood/Edmonds, Bellingham) - Oregon (Portland and Springfield) - Colorado (Ft Lupton) - Idaho (Heyburn and Boise/Meridian) - Utah (Ogden) - Wyoming (Evanston, Rock Springs, Laramie) - Montana (Missoula) - Illinois (Vandalia, Springfield, Chicago) - Indiana (Spiceland, Burn Harbor) - Michigan (St Joseph, Battle Creek, Ann Arbor) - Wisconsin (Madison, Wausau, Eau Claire, Appleton, Milwaukee) - Minnesota (Minneapolis/St Paul) - Iowa (Des Moines) - Ohio (Columbus and London) - Pennsylvania (Erie, Pittsburgh and Harrisburg) - New York (Buffalo and Albany) - Connecticut (Enfield) - New Jersey (Bedminster) - Nevada (Las Vegas) - Arizona (Flagstaff) Vetting: neutered, lifetime free microchip, rabies vaccine, bordetella vaccine, dhpp vaccine x 3, lepto vaccine x 2, dewormed several times, on monthly flea and tick prevention, on monthly heartworm protection, heartworm tested (negative).
