Story
Ginger Sesame has lived some life, raised some babies, and has arrived at this new chapter ready to be where the people are. All the people. Always. Her foster says her theme song should be "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid, and having read everything about her, we're not arguing. She wants to be on your lap, or at your feet, or following you through every room of the house. She has decided that humans are her thing, and we support her in that. She takes a minute to decide someone is trustworthy, but once she's in, well…you get it. She loves calm children who are willing to get on her level, and does well with other dogs as long as she doesn't have to interact with them (she's not rude, just…indifferent). She prefers to be carried up stairs and does best in a home without a lot of them, or with people happy to do the carrying, thankyouverymuch. She freezes a little when approached from above, so a slow crouch and letting let her come to you goes a long way. She circles three to five times before she poops, which we just thought you should know because it’s funny. With her coat cut short, she apparently resembles a chihuahua or possibly a house elf, and her ears are wildly expressive. She is, in short, the perfect pooch in the perfect package. -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Story
THE COMPANION RECRUITMENT: Small Dog Friend Required! Scout has a job opening in his future forever home, and the #1 requirement is a small dog coworker! He is ready to find a patient family who can give him the time and the puppy-pile buddy he needs. Meet Scout, a strikingly handsome 6-year-old, 12-pound Cavalier-Chihuahua mix who is a master of the "exclusive club" lifestyle. Scout is a sensitive, quiet soul who doesn't instantly run up to strangers for belly rubs, which means he gets passed over by people looking for an instant lap dog. But if you are a connoisseur of shy rescue dogs, you know that earning the trust of a dog like Scout is the ultimate badge of honor!{C} Recently, Scout’s brother graduated to his forever home. While we are cheering him on, Scout is currently looking for his new partner-in-crime. He is a dog's dog through and through. He relies on a canine companion of similar size to show him the ropes, boost his confidence, and help him navigate the world. Because of this, Scout cannot be the only pet—he must go to a home with an existing small dog friend. ✨ The Real Scout (Once You’re In His Inner Circle): Puppy Pile Enthusiast: While he takes a moment to warm up to humans, he is a social butterfly with dogs his size. His absolute favorite thing in the world is to sleep in a cozy puppy pile, right next to or directly on top of his dog friends! The Yard Zoomie Expert: Once he feels secure outside with a dog buddy, his playful side completely takes over! He loves chasing his friends, running through the grass, and showing off his speed. A Gentle Gentleman: He is healthy, fully house-trained, and a polite observer. Once you are part of his trusted crew, he happily leans into gentle face scratches. Scout’s Dream Home Check-List: A Small Canine Buddy: A friendly, confident dog of a similar size to be his best friend and guide. An Adult-Only Sanctuary: A quiet, low-traffic home with patient humans who respect boundaries and love watching a dog blossom at his own pace. A Securely Fenced Yard: A safe space where he can play with his dog buddy without the pressure of busy neighborhood leash walks. (Sorry he is not an apartment dog). Scout might never be a dog you take to a crowded brewery, and he might take a while to ask for lap time—and that is exactly how he is wired! He is looking for a family who loves him for the loyal, gentle, dog-loving soul he is.
