Story
Meet Adora 💕🐾 Adora is a gorgeous 22-pound, 1.5-year-old girl who absolutely loves to be loved! She is full grown! Adora came to us from a local gas station along the Texas/Mexico border, where she had likely spent almost her entire life. She was not spayed, and gas station employees reached out because a group of male dogs were constantly chasing her. We simply couldn’t let her continue living that way, so we stepped in and got this sweet girl to safety in early July 2026. And now? Her foster says Adora is pretty close to the perfect dog. ❤️ 🐶 What is Adora like? Adora is a calmer girl overall, but she gets incredibly excited when her humans give her attention. We think she may be making up for lost time after receiving so little individual attention during her life at the gas station. She is a true Velcro girl who wants to be wherever her people are. She is incredibly loyal, affectionate, and eager to please. Loyalty might as well be her middle name! • Cats? Great with cats! • Dogs? She loves other dogs, but she would also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. • Children? We think she would be WONDERFUL with children. • Leash trained? Yes! • Crate trained? Yes! • Knows any commands? She knows how to sit and is very much a people pleaser. • 💕 Her best quirk? Adora has figured out the ultimate way to make sure her humans never leave without giving her some love. If she thinks you're about to walk out the door, she'll throw herself right in front of you, roll onto her back, and demand belly rubs! And honestly? She's very committed to this routine. She WILL get her belly rubs before you go. 😂💕 🌳 Adventure buddy or couch companion? Adora would love to explore the world with you and would make a wonderful adventure partner. But she is equally happy hanging out at home, relaxing with her humans, or enjoying the backyard. If you're in an apartment, we'd ask that you be prepared to give her plenty of activity and enrichment — and doggy daycare could be a great option for her. Most importantly, Adora wants her people. A home where someone is around more often than not would be ideal for this affectionate girl. 🏡 Her forever-home Wishlist Adora is crate trained and is currently working on mastering her house training. Her forever family should understand that she is still learning and be patient and willing to give her the time and consistency she needs. In return, you'll get an incredibly loving, loyal, affectionate companion who is just so happy to finally have people of her own. After spending so much of her life simply surviving, Adora is ready to learn what it means to be cherished. She is ready for belly rubs, adventures, cuddles, and a family who will never let her feel forgotten again. ❤️ Adora is ready to be your Velcro girl. Is she the one you've been waiting for? Adora is spayed, heart worm negative, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, current on flea/tick and heart worm prevention, microchipped, current on de-wormer, and will receive a clean bill of health from a licensed veterinarian prior to transport. PLEASE READ BELOW CAREFULLY: To apply to adopt you can go to our website at: www.pawsitive-Impact-animal-rescue.org This animal is currently located in Texas, but we do NOT adopt animals in Texas due to the hundreds of animals being euthanized here daily. We ONLY do adopt in Central US and the East Coast. The adoption fee listed ($495) INCLUDES transport from Texas to the Northeast. Transport goes to the following locations every 2-3 weeks: Albany, NY Port Chester, NY area Anemia, NY area Wells, VT and Brattleboro, VT Nashua, NH Willington, CT - Stamford, CT - Dayville, CT Steubenville, OH – Cincinnati, OH – Grove City, OH Grove City, PA and Washington, PA Ridgefield, NJ - Bordentown, NJ - Egg Harbor City, NJ Emmitsburg, MD - Elkton, MD - Hagerstown, MD Falls Church, VA and Glenn Allen, VA We have happily adopted hundreds of animals this way (long distance), and we do our best to make sure the animal you are applying for is the best fit for your home. With an approved application, we do put you in touch with the Texas foster who has the doggy for you to make sure they are the perfect fit.

Story
Ollie is a 5-year-old mixed breed rescued from NYC’s municipal shelter, and he has one very important post-crate ritual: grab a toy, take off running, and celebrate his freedom like he just won the lottery. Once he gets that out of his system, Ollie is all about snuggling, exploring, and hanging out with his people. He also does well with his canine foster sibling, so he’s perfectly capable of sharing the spotlight when needed. He’s playful, affectionate, and has just the right amount of goofy energy to keep things interesting. Registered adopters interested in Ollie can email adopt@hbrdogs.com for more info. If you’re not registered yet, you can do it at hbrdogs.com.

Story
Quinn loves, loves, loves other dogs. he runs and bows and has a ball with large and small dogs although he might trip on a small dog he is so exuberant. when meeting new dogs he is so happy he forgets to be shy around their humans. definately needs another dog in the house or a good nearby dog friend. Also, he is reliably house trained. Meet Quinn, a one-of-a-kind canine companion with a heart as big as his personality. This handsome boy might be a unique mix of a Rat Terrier or Jack Russell Terrier, with the sleek and graceful body of a Whippet, and perhaps a few other surprises in the mix! Quinn is estimated to be around 4 to 5 years old and weighs about 26 lbs. Quinn is a true gentleman, with a dignified and gentle spirit. He is independent and smart, and while he may take a little time to adjust to new surroundings, he is worth the wait. Initially shy, Quinn will warm up to you with patience and understanding. He just needs a little time to settle into his new life and feel comfortable enough to show his true colors. In his previous home, Quinn was said to be energetic, playful, and outgoing, especially with older children and cats. He is house-trained and neutered, making him ready to join your family right away. While his foster family hasn't seen his playful side just yet, they believe it's just a matter of time and love before Quinn feels comfortable enough to let his guard down and show his playful, energetic side again. Quinn would do well with patient adopters who can give him the time and understanding he needs to truly shine. If you're looking for a loyal companion to snuggle up with on the couch and be your best friend
