Story
Best friend Buddy is just that.  He is a happy-go-lucky little guy that does not meet a stranger.  He is good with dogs, cats, and people of almost all ages (no toddlers).  Buddy always seems to be smiling.  This sweet little guy will be an excellent addition to the right family.  Buddy would like a home with another same size and age dog, so he has a companion.  He would also like a fenced in yard as he is used to smelling around when he goes out to do his “business”. Buddy is housebroken (he whines to let you know that he needs to go out), doggie door trained, and he walks well on a leash.  Buddy loves his daily walks.  This little cutie also rides great in the car.  He just settles down and sits in the seat.  Buddy is the perfect co-pilot.  He would be a great companion for someone that would take him places.   Buddy is a very social guy.  He wants to be wherever you are, and in your lap if possible.  His foster mom has moved a chair beside her desk so Buddy can sit there.  He also has wiggled his way into sleeping right beside her.  Buddy would do best with someone who is home most of the time.  He is just happy to be with you.  He is 8-10 years old and he weighs 16 lbs.  Buddy has had some eye issues that went untreated by his original family.  He has had surgery and is now on eye drops both eyes for the rest of his life.  Poor Buddy also has a heart murmur and is on medicine for that. Buddy is well worth the added expense of these medicines.  And don’t forget that he needs to be groomed regularly.  The love you get in return for loving and taking care of Buddy makes it all worth while.   He has been neutered and is current on all his shots and microchipped.  To be considered for Buddy's forever home and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Buddy is currently in Tennessee but can be transported north upon adoption.)September 25, 2023, 8:28 pm

Story
We got Phoenix's mum (Lucy) from a shelter where Lucy came in from an abusive situation. After a couple of weeks in her foster home waiting to get fixed we noticed she was getting bigger and knew she was pregnant. There was no male dog at the house she was taken from so we don't know who dad is. We are guessing a Jack Russell, mum is a Shih Tzu. We can't guarantee these babies are hypoallergenic with not knowing dad. We have done a few videos of mum and all the puppies on Facebook Dogingham Palace Rescue if you would like to look. Phoenix's is one of the smaller puppies. She is a very sweet energetic pup. We are planning a transport up north October 14th if you would like this baby brought to you. She will be fixed, micro chipped and have all her puppy shots. Mum is about 15lbs so we don't think she will be over that. All of us in the rescue have full time jobs as well as running the rescue so if you are interested in Phoenix please go to our website www.doginghampalacerescue.org for our application. Then email the application back to doginghamrescue@aol.com. The fees on our website are very out dated, we are waiting on the lady to update everything. Since covid hit, it is hard to get into vets offices and prices have gone way up. The adoption fee and transport fee is explained below. We are based in the Nashville, TN area and have most of our dogs transported up north. The $500 adoption fee does not include the transport fee. The transport fee is $225, so a total of $725. The transport fee is not refundable if things do not work out.
