Story

Meet Little Debbie! A gentle five-year-old Toy Rat Terrier/Toy Fox Terrier mix currently in Crockett, TX, whose golden and white coat mirrors the warmth she brings into every room. She is a small companion with a big heart, weighing around 15 pounds, and she has a way of quietly becoming your shadow as she follows along through daily life. Sensitive and deeply connected, Little Debbie quickly bonds with her people and offers comfort simply by being close, especially during quiet moments or long days. Her personality is a lovely balance of calm and playful. With just one 30 to 45 minute walk each day, she is content and relaxed, happily spending the rest of her time snuggling, playing with her favorite “babies,” or solving enrichment puzzles. She also enjoys perching by the window, watching the world go by like it is her favorite show! She knows sit, shake, and give me a kiss, and she is eager to keep learning through positive reinforcement and gentle guidance. Little Debbie is friendly with new people, children, and other dogs, though her excitement can sometimes lead to enthusiastic barking or energetic leash behavior. She would benefit from continued training to help her channel that excitement calmly. While she is good with children, a household with adults or older children would help her feel more at ease. She is adaptable with routines, does well when left alone briefly, but needs a refresher in potty training habits. She is spayed, up to date on vaccines, and recently had a healthy vet check. She does have a luxating patella that may require mindful care, and she is currently a bit overweight, so a balanced routine will help her feel her best. Little Debbie would thrive in a caring environment where someone is home often. A quieter household with a fenced yard or attentive leash use would help her feel secure and happy. She is ready to bring companionship, warmth, and plenty of cuddles into a new loving home! Could Little Debbie be the loyal little friend who brightens your every day?

BREED-Rat Terrier Mix; SEX-Male; SIZE-Small; WEIGHT-13 lbs.; AGE-Approximately 4 Years; SPAY/NEUTER-Yes; HOUSETRAINED-Currently Uses Doggie Door; GOOD WITH KIDS-Yes; GOOD WITH DOGS-Yes; GOOD WITH CATS-Unknown; HISTORY-Rescued From A Local Shelter; ADOPTION FEE-$250 Gus is truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. He has a calm, easygoing nature, and his idea of a perfect day is simply being close to his person—curled up in your lap or resting quietly by your side. Gus greets everyone with joy and genuine happiness, and his gentle presence has a way of making you feel instantly loved. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and warmly welcomes new fosters into his home with a kind and patient spirit. Gus does have an autoimmune condition that causes some crusting around his eyes and the sides of his mouth. This means he will need a little extra daily care, including gently cleaning his eyes and mouth with a warm cloth, as well as taking daily medication. The medication is quite manageable, with an average monthly cost of about $20. With this simple routine, Gus remains comfortable and continues to thrive. If you’re looking for a truly special dog—one who will return your love with endless affection and quiet companionship—Gus may be the perfect match for you.March 7, 2026, 2:41 pm
