Story
Meet Jake, a sweet, gentle senior dog (13–15 yrs) who urgently needs a home after his 92-year-old owner entered a care facility. Jake is currently with family, but strict pet limits and upcoming travel mean he needs a forever home immediately. Jake is a quiet, low-maintenance companion. He is super smart, deeply kind, rarely barks, and is completely crate trained. His absolute favorite thing to do is lounge comfortably in his bed all day. An Honest Note: Jake isn't fully house-trained due to his age, but he does wonderfully with a simple routine. If you take him outside every 3 hours, he happily does his business outdoors and he happily will rest over night in his crate! Jake has been a loyal companion his whole life. Please message right away if you can give this sweet boy the loving retirement he deserves!

Story
Niko is truly the "best of both worlds"—a born lap dog with a lively interest in being active outdoors. This unique-looking 7-year-old is chock-full of an especially endearing personality. He is playful, loves car rides, tolerates baths well, and is cooperative when getting his harness on. In the home, Niko is generally low-maintenance. He is a gentleman indoors with perfect potty habits; he isn’t a particularly picky eater, can be trusted to roam free when alone, and loves a special spot to look out the window. Niko takes his role as a "watchdog" seriously and will alert you to noises at the door. While he can be vocal, he can respond well to a "quiet" command—even if he insists on getting the last word with some adorable, under-the-breath "woofs!" Niko's favorite activities are: being near you when you are seated, though not underfoot elsewhere; alternating brisk walks with exploratory sniffing; going to the dog park regularly; running around the house once a day hoping someone will chase him; and hiding parts of treats in couch cushions and his dog bed. While he occasionally enjoys a quick "zoomie" at the park, he spends most of his time patrolling the perimeter and investigating new scents, dogs, and people. He is comfortable around dogs of all sizes and respectful children aged 6 and older. However, Niko does feel it is necessary at times to correct dogs he perceives as having an unbalanced energy, or those who get too close to his person and the dogs he considers his friends. Because Niko can be sensitive to the busyness of parking lots, weekly landscapers, and frequent delivery trucks, he is looking for a detached home with his own yard. Niko is a smart, sweet, charming boy, a cuddle bug, and an outdoor enthusiast; but most of all, he is a loving little guy who needs a loving home. ##2280678##

Gus

Rat Terrier

Male, Senior
Carrollton, TX
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
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.September 20, 2026, 6:23 am
