Story
Meet Raptor, the puppy who likes to pretend he’s the cool, calm, collected member of the group… until you get him one-on-one. Around the other puppies, Raptor acts like the laid-back observer. But the moment he has you to himself? Surprise! The chill guy disappears and the attention-loving goofball comes out. If you stop petting him, he will absolutely let you know about it. Raptor believes attention should be continuous and uninterrupted. His favorite hobby is shoe sabotage. Raptor specializes in sneaking up while you're standing there minding your business and carefully untying your shoelaces. It’s a very important job and he takes it seriously. Raptor gets along well with his siblings and lives with four adult dogs and four cats. The dogs are cool with him, and he would very much like to be friends with the cats… but the cats have not yet approved his application. If you're looking for a puppy who is equal parts chill, silly, affectionate, and mildly mischievous, Raptor is ready to keep you entertained. Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Valentine, a 25 pound rat terrier (we and chat gbt think) mixed breed 1-2 yr old who found herself in a kill shelter in Texas with her family of 6 newborns. She is so gentle and just wants to be loved. The puppies are old enough for adoption and now it is Valentine's turn. Valentine still needs to be spayed by our vet so she is looking for a foster home. Can you help? We provide everything you need, you provide the love and cuddles. PLEASE NOTE- AN APPLICATION FROM THE WEBSITE ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG IS REQUIRED prior to any meet and greet. Calling, emailing or "inquiring" is not useful and will delay your consideration in the adoption of the dog. The adoption fee is $450, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including age appropriate vaccinations, worming, flea/tick preventative, heartworm test if age appropriate and spay/neuter. All of our dogs will be microchipped. Because our dogs are in foster homes, applications are required prior to setting up any appointments. Calling or emailing may delay your consideration. APPLY AT ALMOSTHOMEDOGS.ORG. (click on the word "Adopt" at top of page to find the dropdown menu with application) We are a non profit no kill 501 (c)3 rescue. Please understand that we do our best to describe our dogs but often we rescue them with virtually no information about them and often our best educated guess can be challenging. Currently check, cash or venmo is preferred payment

Story
AdoptAPet Inquires are not an application and will be ignored. Looking for a Foster or Adopter Rue is approximately 10 months old and fully grown at 20lbs. This sweet girl is playful, smart, and 100% a clown. Learning new things is what she excels at! She loves her walks and boy does she also like to run around, as in chase me if you can to the fastest of dogs :) She gets along with dogs of all sizes, cats and of course humans. Kids unknown. She’s not a barker, social yet happily independent. Crate trained. Rue needs an active family. She will be a tripping hazard for the elderly and folks with mobility challenges. At some point right after she was born, Rue experienced some kind of trauma causing a neurological deficit that manifests in an abnormal gate which is not noticeable unless you’re looking for it as well as needing structured potty time. We do not believe she is need of further assessment but potential adopters should discuss Rue with their veterinary professional. Apply here: https://tinyurl.com/TLCdogapp Adoption radius: within 60 miles of zip code 20906. We do not promote any of our dogs as house trained or allergy friendly

Story
🌼 Meet Daffodil – Your Tiny Shadow with a Huge Heart Daffodil is a petite rat terrier mix with a personality that’s anything but small. This sweet girl absolutely loves everyone she meets—humans, dogs, and especially cats! She’s the kind of pup who just wants to be wherever you are, happily following you from room to room as your devoted little shadow. Daffodil thrives on companionship and would do best in a home where she can be someone’s constant sidekick. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch or moving about your day, she’ll be right there, soaking up your love and giving it right back. She adores other animals and would be thrilled to have furry siblings to play and snuggle with. Cats? She’s obsessed—in the best way. At bedtime, Daffodil prefers to skip the crate (it’s just not her thing) and instead curl up in your arms or right beside you, where she feels safest and happiest. She’s currently working on her potty training and will need a patient adopter to help her continue building good habits. The good news? She’s food-motivated and has a great appetite, which makes training a little easier! If you’re looking for a loving, affectionate companion who will stick by your side through it all, Daffodil might just be your perfect match. This dogs is up to date on vaccines and preventative. The adoption fee is $475. If you are viewing on Petfinder/Adoptapet and cannot see photos or would like to apply for this dog please visit our website, www.frecklesfoundation.org. ***Note that puppy adoption fees most often help generate revenue that goes towards older, special needs animals that need our help. Surgeries, heartworm treatment, boarding costs.... all things that often result in adoptable dogs and cats being left behind to be euthanized. So, adopting a puppy saves not just one life, but many! Puppies require an adopter who is home a good part of the day to continue their training! They are up to date on age-appropriate vaccines and preventatives. Freckles Foundation & Animal Rescue cannot guarantee the exact age or breed of any animal in our care. The age and breed listed are based on information we may have been provided, and the appearance of the animal.

He is leash trained, enjoys car rides and patiently waits in the car. He enjoys sleeping in my bed and snuggling. Since he has been with us he has not been around children so I would not recommend small children for him. Older mature children would be fine.

This dog is CURRENTLY IN TEXAS and available for pre-adoption.

Sweet momma, Utopia, and her five day old pups were hours away from being euthanized in a small Texas animal shelter before they were rescued. Momma was scared and protective of her babies for a few days until she realized they were safe. Now she is a total lovebug! Utopia needs a patient family. She is shy and will take some time and lots of treats to be comfortable in her new home. She would do best with another confident dog to show her the ropes. She loves to run and play with other dogs so acclimating with them should be no problem. She is also cat friendly. Utopia does well in the car and walks great on a leash. She's ready for adventure and a love that lasts forever! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX adoption only)
