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

Story
Phoebe is looking for a loving foster home where they can relax and recover while receiving treatment. Reason for Foster: Ringworm Foster Time Frame: Approximately 3 weeks (The foster timeframe may vary depending on recovery and any follow-up medical needs.) Foster Care Plan: Phoebe is being treated for ringworm, a common and treatable fungal skin infection. While ringworm can be contagious to other pets, it is very manageable with proper precautions. We recommend keeping them in a separate room away from other pets, ideally a space that is easy to clean such as a bathroom, laundry room, or spare bedroom. A room without carpet or upholstered furniture works best. Treatment typically includes regular lime sulfur dips and antifungal medication, which will be provided by our medical team. Our staff will walk you through the treatment plan during your foster pickup appointment so you feel confident caring for this little one. Simple precautions such as washing your hands and changing clothes after handling your foster pet will help prevent the spread. To learn more about caring for a foster pet with ringworm, please visit: https://operation-kindness-foster.my.canva.site/ringworm-foster-guide How to take this pet home: Adopt: Phoebe is available through our Foster-to-Adopt Program, which allows prospective adopters to take pets home before they are available for adoption. Visit Operation Kindness and speak with our Client Services team. Foster-to-Adopt placements are first-come, first-served. Foster: Interested in fostering this pet?

Meet Hazel, She only weighs around 30+lbs & is almost 5+ years old Hazel came to us from Houston, Texas with her 4 pups. All her puppies got adopted but everyone keeps looking over hazel. Could be due to her being a fear biter, but within 3 days is she will be your best friend if you are patient and go slow. We suggest a home without kids! She is great with other dogs, super friendly when she warms up and walks well on the leash. Hazel comes Spayed, Up to Date on Vaccinations & Microchipped. Adoption fee is $250

These pups are in Arlington, Texas too!

Story
Harrison is a good boy. He was found on the streets with his harness imbedded in his skin, so he has scares from his trauma. His owners , before us, passes away, so we do not know all of his behaviors yet. It's just my husband, and I and Harrison. He does not go potty inside the house at all. He loves walks and smelling everything. He to be hugged and kissed. He does like to lunch at really big trucks when you're walking him sometimes. And he wants He will bark at squirrels and at the boor bell. We taught him to play tug-a-war. I wouldn't recommend outfits or a harness, do to his past history. Our doctor has given us doggy gabapentin to help with some of his more challenging times where he can be stressed out , like going to the vet. He's on a dog food that is for weight control and senior citizen because he needs a balanced diet. But he's very sweet and very quiet. He is a good boy. I hope we can find him a good home. I wish we could keep him. Thank you.ona
