Story
If you’re looking for a sweet little companion who deserves the chance to finally be loved and spoiled, Dolly may be your girl!
At around 3 years old, Dolly is an adorable Rat Terrier mix with a gentle nature and a difficult past. She was reportedly used for breeding and then abandoned in a cornfield when she was no longer wanted. Thankfully, that chapter of her life is over, and she is now getting the opportunity to find a family who will value her for exactly who she is.
Dolly is friendly with dogs, cats, and children, making her a wonderful candidate for many different types of homes. After everything she has experienced, she is ready to trade survival mode for a soft bed, plenty of affection, and the security of knowing she is finally home.
Dolly is fully vetted, microchipped, and heartworm negative. She has also received a ProHeart 12 injection, which provides extended heartworm prevention.
During her veterinary evaluation, Dolly was found to have a small heart murmur. At this time, it does not require medication. As with any pet, her adopter should continue routine veterinary care and follow their veterinarian’s recommendations regarding any future monitoring.
Dolly has already spent enough of her life being treated as though she were disposable. Now she deserves to be someone’s beloved companion and experience everything a dog should have had from the beginning.
Dolly’s adoption fee is $550.

Most of our dogs are rescued from high-intake shelters or directly from difficult situations in South Texas, where stray and unwanted animals are incredibly common. Your adoption fee helps cover the significant costs required to bring these dogs to safety.
Paws Deep Animal Rescue is a registered nonprofit rescue. Any funds received beyond an individual animal’s expenses go directly toward caring for other animals in our rescue, including those with significant medical needs whose adoption fees may not come close to covering the cost of their care.
Your adoption fee helps cover:
• Transport: Safe transportation from Texas to our local foster homes. Transport alone typically costs approximately $200–$230 per dog.
• Vetting & Preventive Care: Spay or neuter surgery when age appropriate, core vaccinations, deworming, heartworm testing when old enough, and microchipping.
• VCA Medical Partnership: Every adoption includes a complimentary first wellness exam at a participating VCA Animal Hospital within the first 14 days after adoption. VCA also provides limited coverage of up to $250 for certain minor illnesses, such as kennel cough or ear infections, diagnosed during that initial two-week period.
Important Rescue Policies
No Foster-to-Adopt Program: We do not offer foster-to-adopt placements. Most of our dogs are already settled into loving foster homes, and we try to minimize unnecessary moves for their emotional well-being. Our rescue insurance policy also prohibits foster-to-adopt arrangements.
Breed and Size Estimates: We cannot guarantee the breed mix of any dog in our care. Listed breeds are our best estimates based on physical appearance and available history. Because our dogs are rescues with unknown backgrounds, we also cannot guarantee that a dog does not have pit bull or another breed somewhere in their lineage.
