Story
Meet Scotch! Scotch is a wonderful puppy full of energy and love. He especially enjoys playing with our big dog and isn’t afraid to keep up with the fun. Even with all his puppy excitement, Scotch also knows how to calm down and snuggle up when it’s time to relax. He’s learning potty training and making good progress. Scotch sleeps well through the night and does just fine spending time in his crate during the day. If you’re looking for a playful yet affectionate puppy who’s ready to be part of the family, Scotch would be a great fit!

Story
My name is Tinsel and I like to check out the Christmas Tree and lay on the bed in front of it during the day. My foster mom calls me her little house elf and I am not sure why but we are going to watch Harry Potter on Thanksgiving and she said that is when I will know why. I have been a good boy for a 4 month old and only a couple accidents but I told her that she was not watching me close enough. 🙂 I like to watch TV and snuggle next to someone. I also like to check out the cats but one of them scares me. I do also like my foster sister when she wants to play with me. Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving and if anyone wants to meet me just let me know.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Welcome Harley to DASH. This Rat Terrier/Chihuahua Mix came to DASH with several other small dogs when their owner had to go into a nursing home. He is currently in our DASH Prison Program where is he learning his basic commands and working on crate training. He is a very social boy who loves all dogs and humans. He enjoys snuggling in your lap to relax and sleeping in bed with you. He loves his toys and going outside to play and take walks. He can sometimes be a little sensitive to loud noises, as most small dogs are. This boy is as sweet as they come and is ready to find his forever family or person. He has not been kid or cat tested, but would not recommend very young children just due to his size.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 24, 2025, 3:40 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Welcome Max Owen to DASH! This sweet and very smart little guy came to DASH with several other small dogs when his owner had to go into a nursing home and could not take him with them. He is currently in our DASH Prison Program where he is working on his basic commands, which his trainer says he is picking up very quickly. He is also working on his socialization skills, he likes other dogs, but doesn't really care to play with them. He does not like to be crated, he wants to be with his people, so that is a work in progress, but he does love his walks and to cuddle whenever the opportunity presents itself. He is also very kid friendly, but has not been cat tested. He is very treat motivated and loves a good piece of ice over an actual treat. This boy is ready to find his forever home with a family or person who will continue with his training so he can continue to be the best boy for the rest of his life.
