Story
Niko is a true lap dog with a lively interest in being outdoors. He was spotted multiple times running the streets before his rescue.  A very secure backyard and daily walks are an absolute necessity for this investigative, energetic little guy.  Niko also enjoys looking out the window and going to dog parks, is cooperative getting his harness on, can be left loose when you're out, is good on car rides, and is not a picky eater.Niko is generally low-maintenance. He seems okay around respectful children (about 6+), and dogs of all sizes (he favors larger dogs), he is playful, and has guard dog tendencies of barking at people/noises near your windows and doors. As energetic as Niko sometimes can be, he is a deep sleeper who loves to snooze on a dog bed with comfy blankets or get under the covers on a people bed.  Niko is chock full of personality, but the sort that is especially endearing.  He is a charmer with an independent streak.  But most of all he is a loving little guy who needs a loving home. ##2280678##

Story
Opalite is one of the pups from our Swifties group. She is a two year old, 9 lb Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. She and nine other small dogs were dumped on a country road in East Texas, and Humane Tomorrow took them all into our adoption program. Foster mom says that Opalite is very sweet but still unsure of this big world. She is ok with other small dogs, especially those about her size, as long as they are more settled. She does not play with other dogs or toys yet and her favorite spot is in your lap. She is a little anxious in a busy household. Not sure how she would do around young children, so best for older kids and above. Adopters will need to give her a few days to settle in and feel safe, then she will be the best lap dog ever. She has now been fully vetted and ready for adoption. If you would like to give Opalite a forever home that really does last forever, please submit your application, and an adoption counselor will contact you.

Story
Meet the Rat Terrier/Chihuahua crew! 🐾 These sweet pups were rescued from a hoarding situation with over 50 dogs. The ones we were able to save are the lucky ones, and now they’re looking for forever families. 💕 They are far from perfect—but they are making progress every single day. They’re still working on house training (most likely they’ve never even seen grass before), and they’re just beginning to learn how wonderful human touch can be. Training will still be needed ✨ Meet the pack: • Willow – Mostly white with black, 13 lbs, 3–4 years old • Cindy – The biggest girl at 15 lbs, 3–4 years old • Kaya (Kaia) – The smallest, mostly black, 11 lbs, 3–4 years old • Anna – About 10 months old, 12.5 lbs; likely best as an only dog or with larger dogs • Dodger (the only boy!) – 13 lbs, around 3 years old All are fully vetted: spayed/neutered, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Special adoption fee: $125 These pups are ready for someone patient, loving, and willing to take a chance on them. With time and care, they’ll blossom into the wonderful companions we know they can be. Could one of these cuties be your new best friend?
