Meet Poncho! 🐾 Age: 2 Years Old 🐾 Breed: Dachshund/ Jack Russell Terrier Mix 🐾 Gender: Male What Makes Poncho Special? 🏡 Crate Trained: Poncho is a pro in his crate, making him an easy overnight companion. 🐕‍ Toilet Trained: He's 90% potty trained, just needs a little understanding for those occasional oopsie moments. ❤️ Shy Guy with a Heart of Gold: Poncho is a very timid boy who needs time to warm up.

A little barking on the first day, and then he's all set, showing great respect for dogs who enjoy their personal space. ☀️ Outdoor Enthusiast: This little sun worshipper absolutely loves being outside, especially when he can stretch out and soak up some rays! Poncho's Story Poncho and his brother were found roaming a neighborhood, and now this resilient boy is ready to find his forever family. He's not aggressive, just a gentle soul waiting for the right people to show him the world is a safe and loving place. Could Poncho be the missing piece in your home? He's ready to fill your life with quiet companionship and endless sunbathing sessions! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story

My name is Capricorn and I am looking for my fur-ever home. Clicking on my picture is the first step in getting to know me! Potential adopters always ask a lot of questions about me. Here are the most common ones:Q: What is your back story?A: I heard that I used to live in a home with several dogs until my owner died. Luckily the volunteers at Almost Home Foundation saved me so I could have a second chance. I am currently in a foster home with two adult humans and two doggie sisters while I wait to be adopted. I am on the shy side, but with love, patience, and encouragement, I continue to gain confidence.Q: Are you housebroken and crate-trained?A: Yes to both! In fact, I love my crate. It’s my own little den where I feel safe and comfortable. Q: Are you good with dogs, cats, or kids?A: I am dog-friendly. I am timid so children would be too scary for me. It’s okay if they visit once in a while as long as I have a quiet place away from all the activity. I am not sure how I would be with cats.Q: Do you chew furniture, etc.?A: Nope. Not at all. I spend most of my day curled up in my doggie bed under a blanket. I’m so quiet that you hardly know I’m there!Q: Can you be left home alone?A: Yes! Just put me in my crate with a Kong toy and a blanket and I’m a happy camper.Q: Do you need a fenced-in yard?A: Yes. I do not potty on a leash so I will need a secure fenced yard for potty-time. It doesn`t need to be a big yard, just a secure one. Besides, I LOVE running around the backyard and having fun!Q: What is your ideal forever home?A: In terms of a forever home, I need someone with lots of love and patience to help me learn to trust. I am not a social butterfly or cuddle-bug that wants to meet everyone. An overly busy home with lots of people coming-and-going would be overwhelming. Q: Anything else we should know?A: I am up-to-date on shots, micro-chipped, heartworm negative, neutered, and in overall good health. I weigh about 15 pounds. Oh, and I LOVE cheese!Do you have room in your heart and home for me? If so, email dogs@almosthomefoundation.org to get in touch with my foster parents.Adoption fee is $360Email: dogs@almosthomefoundation.orgAlmost Home Foundation`s adoption requirements:(1) Be at least 21 years of age;(2) Have the consent of all adults living in the household;(3) Have approval from the residence o

Story

Meet the Secret Wives of Mormon Wives — Jessi, Demi, Whitney, Taylor, Layla, Jen, Macyi & Mikayla These eight lovely ladies didn’t come to us from the deserts of Utah, but the heartland of Indiana — and they’ve got just as much mystery and charm. Once sheltered and a little uncertain of the world, they’ve made their way into the spotlight (and into our hearts), ready to sniff out new adventures and maybe even their forever couch. Unlike the bold and bubbly “MomTok” pack, these girls are on the quiet side — a little shy, a bit reserved, and still learning that the world can be soft and safe. They’re the kind of pups who won’t rush into your lap, but once they trust you? You’ve got a best friend for life. They’re not looking for chaos (unlike the television show) they’re looking for calm. A patient home. A soft bed. A human who understands that the best relationships take time. The Secret Wives are ready to leave their past behind and find their place — one tail wag at a time.

Meet the DadTok Boys — Conner, Dakota, Jacob, Zac, Jordan, Brett & Jace Straight from the Secret Lives of Mormon Wives litter, these seven charming gentlemen are pure heartthrobs with paws. They might carry the “DadTok” name, but don’t let that fool you — these boys are all love, no lectures. These boys are lovers, not fighters — soft-hearted, gentle-spirited, and more interested in belly rubs than barking. Raised with care but ready to leave the shelter behind, they’re looking for a calm, loving forever home where they can finally just… be dogs. If you’ve got a cozy couch, an open heart, and a treat or two in your pocket, one of these DadTok dudes might just be your perfect match. 🐾
