Story
Meet Tiffy Female DOB: May 26, 2024 Weight: 8 lbs Breed: Chihuahua Mix Spayed (Fixed) Vaccinated Microchipped Healthy & Adoption-Ready Personality, Breed Info & Expectations Tiffy is a sweet little girl with a loving personality and charming Chihuahua spirit. At around 2 years old, she has beautifully matured beyond the puppy stage while still keeping playful energy, curiosity, and affection for her people. She enjoys companionship, attention, and being close to her humans. Tiffy would thrive in a home where she can feel safe, loved, and included as part of the family. As a Chihuahua mix, Tiffy may show traits such as: Strong attachment to her people Loving and loyal personality Alert and intelligent nature Playful but companion-focused energy Sensitivity to routine and environment Chihuahua mixes are often deeply devoted companions who bond closely with their families and thrive with consistency, patience, and affection. Tiffy would thrive in a home that can provide: Daily companionship and interaction Structure and consistency Gentle guidance and positive reinforcement Moderate daily activity and enrichment A loving indoor environment She would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a small, affectionate, and loyal dog. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect Many rescue dogs come from very different backgrounds. Some may have previously lived in homes, while others may have come from the streets, overcrowded shelters, neglect situations, or environments where they had little structure or guidance. Because of this, most rescue dogs arrive with only basic training at best, and some may have had no formal training at all. Even dogs who appear calm and well-behaved in foster care or at the rescue are still adjusting and learning. The rescue environment itself also does not always allow for extensive one-on-one training. While we work hard to provide safety, structure, socialization, and basic guidance, adopters should expect to continue support and guidance after adoption. Tiffy will benefit from: Positive reinforcement training Structure and consistency Continued socialization and engagement Patience during adjustment periods Daily companionship and routine Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule: 3 days to decompress 3 weeks to learn your routine 3 months to fully feel at home With patience, stability, and commitment, rescue dogs often blossom into deeply loyal lifelong companions. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Owning a dog is a lifelong commitment that includes companionship, routine veterinary care, training, exercise, mental stimulation, and financial responsibility. Tiffy will need: Routine veterinary care and wellness exams Preventative care including flea, tick, and heartworm prevention Proper nutrition and weight management Continued training and guidance Daily companionship and interaction A safe, stable, indoor living environment Because of her small size, care should also be taken around: Larger animals Rough handling or play Open doors and unsecured outdoor spaces Jumping from high furniture or stairs Consistent veterinary care, emotional stability, proper nutrition, and patience are all essential to helping Tiffy continue thriving in her future home. Tiffy is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside.

He loves hanging out with his people and being part of whatever you’re doing—especially if snacks are involved (those are definitely his favorite!). Buzz walks nicely on a leash, knows how to sit, is crate trained, and is currently doing well on his house training. He gets along well with other dogs and even cats, making him a great fit for lots of different homes.

Benji is a sweet little guy with a gentle soul. He can be a bit shy when meeting new people, but with a little patience, his loving personality quickly shines through. Before coming to the rescue, Benji lived life outdoors and had some hair loss, but now he’s on the mend—his scruffy coat is growing back in, and it just adds to his charm! He’s currently learning all the good stuff about being a spoiled house pup, like walking on a leash and discovering how amazing beds and toys can be. If you have a soft spot for scruffy, adorable boys and a heart for helping a pup continue to blossom, Benji is ready to find his forever home and be your loyal little companion Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $600 (includes transport to your area)

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)

Story
Matilda, is a sweet wire-haired terrier mix around 3 years old who is ready to find her forever family. Matilda bonds quickly with her people and would thrive in a home where someone is around often, such as someone who works from home or spends a lot of time at home during the day. She loves being close to her humans, cuddling, and soaking up all the affection she can get. She has been around kids, cats, and dogs of all sizes. Matilda enjoys playing with other dogs, but she does best with dogs who understand respectful boundaries, as she can get overwhelmed when they are constantly in her face. At night, Matilda sleeps perfectly in her crate. During the day, she may get a little vocal if she would rather be near her people. She is a loving girl who is ready to be smothered with love — and she will happily return it right back. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
