Story
Meet Bubblegum, a seven-year-old pug mix with a permanently adorable tongue-out expression and enough charm to make anyone smile 🐶👅 Bubblegum is the kind of dog who doesn’t even have to try to be cute. His little tongue is always peeking out, giving him a goofy, lovable look that perfectly matches his sweet personality. He’s a friendly, easygoing guy who enjoys people, cozy spots, and being part of the action without causing too much trouble. Right now, Bubblegum is looking for a foster-to-adopt home while he completes his heartworm treatment. Over the next three months, he’ll need to take life at a slower pace and stay calm while his body heals. He’ll also need to return to the shelter every 30 days for treatment, so his foster-to-adopt family should be able to bring him in for those scheduled visits. Think of it as a temporary “rest and relaxation” plan for a very deserving little guy. Once his treatment is complete, his adoption can be finalized, and he’ll be ready to enjoy many happy years ahead. Bubblegum has been neutered, microchipped, and is current on vaccines and flea and heartworm prevention. All New Leash dogs are to be primarily indoor with supervised playtime outside only. 💲 Bubblegum’s adoption fee is $85. If you have a calm home, a comfy couch, and a soft spot for dogs with permanently silly faces, Bubblegum would love to stick his tongue out at life with you by his side 🐾💛

Story
Looking for a little dog with a whole lot of heart? Meet Ian! Ian is a 1.5-year-old black and white sweetheart who proves every day that a rough start does not define your future. This pint-sized boy previously suffered a hip injury, which has healed beautifully, and his happy, playful spirit never missed a beat. Ian is fun, boisterous, and full of contagious joy. He loves attention, enjoys romping around with his toys, and is always ready for a cuddle when playtime winds down. He does well with other dogs and would make a wonderful addition to a home with canine friends. Ian also loves his food and is happily not picky. He eats from a slow-feeder bowl to help him enjoy his meals at a healthy pace and aid digestion. Medical Transparency (the important but reassuring part): Ian has Diabetes Insipidus, which is not the same as diabetes mellitus. This condition affects how his body concentrates urine and has nothing to do with blood sugar. • Oral medication only — no shots or injections • Takes medication twice daily to maintain healthy urine concentration and support full bladder emptying • Medication may be lifelong or temporary, depending on future veterinary guidance • Medication cost can vary depending on the veterinarian or pharmacy • Needs frequent potty breaks Ian does wonderfully on his routine and is otherwise a happy, active, affectionate young dog. He is looking for a loving home that will appreciate his joyful personality and continue his simple daily care so he can thrive for years to come. Are you ready to give this resilient, playful boy the forever home he deserves? Basic Info: Male, 1 yr old, Boston Terrier/Chihuahua, Coat: Black and White, neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots and preventions, preventatives. Local adoption fee (Texas) - $200 Out of state adoption (includes transport to your area) ‐ $450
