Story
Meet your shadow, your hype man, and your personal cuddle bug all rolled into one tiny, wiggly puppy. this little guy decided he had one full-time job: never let you out of his sight. Bathroom? He’s there. Kitchen? Right behind you. Sitting down for two seconds? Boom—he’s already curled up at your feet. But the real magic happens the moment you say his name, he transforms into a full-blown spazoid. No matter how many times you call him, it never gets old—he celebrates you like it’s the best moment of his life by dancing at your feet. He gets along good with other dogs but prefers to have his space unless he goes to them to play, he also is great with cats. Spencer is crate trained & still learning leash manners but almost there. He also is potty trained but will have accidents in the house still. Fun fact: he’ll twist his head at pretty much any sound or word you say. Ready to be shadowed by this cutie? Adopt him!! Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Name:  Daisy Age: Spunky Senior Weight: 14 lbs Adoption Fee: $250.00 Good with Dogs?  Yes, but bossy so she’d be best as an only dog.  Good with cats?  She can be bossy with them so it’s best she doesn’t live with them. She can be around them safely for short visits.    Miss Daisy aka Daisy Dukes or Dukes, is  looking for her forever home.    She’s a spunky senior Rat Terrier with lots of life and  love left to give. Daisy loves people and she’d be a  perfect fit for someone who is retired but still active, or someone who works from home, enjoys daily walks  and would like to have a companion to join them. If  she gets to be a lap dog, even better. In a perfect  world, she’ll be showered with all of the attention and  not have to share it with other pets.    She is crate trained but, in all honesty, she doesn’t  love it. Daisy is fine being left loose in the home when  no one is there but she’s currently crated in her foster  home as she does tend to be a little bossy with the  other dogs at times.    Daisy likes meeting new people and enjoys car rides,  so if you like to go camping or travel around in an RV,  she’d be a great companion for you.    While she is an older girl, you wouldn’t know it by the  way she acts. She’s had a senior blood panel done  (she looks great!), a dental, she’s spayed, vaccinated, heartworm tested  and micro chipped.    Don’t miss out on a wonderful new companion and get  your applications in now.    Adoption Process: Step 1:     Complete a "no obligation" application located on our website at pawprintsnky.com under the applications tab. Step 2:     PawPrints will review the application, verifying Vet and personal references as well as landlord requirements/restrictions (if applicable) Step 3:     IF your application is approved, we will call you to schedule a meet and greet for you to meet the pet. &#226&#128&#139Step 4:    If the meet and greet goes well, we will schedule the home visit.          March 16, 2026, 12:18 am

Get Squiggy with it! Suited best for a low-energy household, this shy guy is sweet with a small bark that will melt your heart. He is soft spoken and likes it that way!

Story
Meet Maisie! She is a roughly 5 month old female mix breed. We do think she will be a medium sized dog, most likely around 40-50lbs full grown. What she is a mix of? That is a bit of a mystery! A couple of her siblings were wire haired and reminded us of Jack Russells, so maybe some Jack Russell? A bit of beagle? It is honestly anyone’s guess! What is not a guess is just how loving and fun this girl is! She is quite energetic with a soft, more submissive side. She is highly toy driven and loves to carry a toy around her in mouth; she is also starting to show interest in playing fetch! When not playing, she can be found either begging you for a belly rub, or attacking you with kisses, there’s really no in-between with this girl, she loves to get love, and also return it. She has a wiggle butt to match her energy and it rarely stops moving whenever a human is close enough to activate that wiggle! She is truly a happy-go-lucky girl, just here to have fun and live the good life! She is fantastic with kids, dogs, and cats! She is crate and house trained, and working on her basic commands. All she needs now is a family to call her own! She is spayed, up to date on up to date on age appropriate vaccines, and microchipped. Her adoption fee is $350May 19, 2026, 10:26 am

Story
Lola is my name. I love all and want to be friends with everyone. I am mischievous and will get into trouble just for the attention. I am still very young and eager to explore new things. I want a loving family who will take me on adventures, then love on me while winding down. I don't like it when you focus on other dogs and sometimes I push them out of the way so I can be the center of attention! I have the sweetest face and my "love to be with you" attitude is the best kind to have! I am a medium sized girl and that makes me super PORTABLE! Take me with you to the beach, the mountains, the BATHROOM... I don't care where we go, as long as you take me with you!! I'm a energetic and driven girl with a strong prey drive, particularly chickens, birds, small animals and cats. I'll need a home without these types of pets to ensure everyone's safety. Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $500 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)
