Story

Spongey arrived to TJO with lots of matting, so much so that he almost resembled a certain sea creature from Bikini Bottom. Once freed from all the stuck together hair, Spongey settled in and started relaxing. He does best in a quiet environment that allows him to enjoy the benefits of frequent naps so he can continue to be playful.OTHER PETS: Spongey is interested in other dogs and has invited play with another older dog. His best fit would likely be with another older dog who is social with a similar play style (not too rambunctious). As with all our dogs, Spongey should meet any dogs he would be living with prior to adoption. [Case by Case (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: [First Dog] Experience or willingness to learn the benefits of positive reinforcement. KIDS: Spongey is comfortable with handling and has not exhibited resource guarding while at the shelter, he flourished in a quiet space in the kennel and wold do best in a quiet home. Any minor humans should meet Spongey prior to adoption. [Case by Case (Must Meet First)] ACTIVITY LEVEL: Spongey enjoys laying in bed, rolling around in his bed, and playing with various toys. As he feels better is becoming more active and curious about the environment. He is the quintessential old man who refuses to stop playing, even if he can't play as much as he used to when he was younger. He's affectionate when he is comfortable and enjoys being social. Mental enrichment (play, food puzzles, games) will help meet his nees. [Couch Potato] VETERINARY CARE: Spongey will need a good relationship with a vet with bi-annual check-ups to ensure that he has a good quality of life as he continues to age. He is currently in need of a dental that TJO will provide. [Above Average] LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED: Positive reinforcement training will help Spongey bond with his new owner as well as help him learn new skills and tricks to keep his mind active. [Minimal] GROOMING: Regular brushing will keep Spongey's coat clean and matt-free between grooms, he should be groomed every 6 -8 weeks. [Professional Grooming] December 1, 2025, 9:54 am

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Pickles. This social little guy has a history as a neighborhood explorer! He was found running loose in a subdivision, charming everyone he met. Much like his fellow canine adventurers, he was rescued multiple times, but his determination to roam led him to cleverly dig his way out of every yard he was placed in. He is eager to trade his escaping days for a secure yard and a forever family who can give him the attention and secure environment he craves. Pickles is a true social butterfly who thrives on human interaction and affection. He promises to be a delightful addition to any family. He was born around 12/03/2024 and weighs 14.9 pounds. During his vet visit, it was noted that he has a Grade 1 heart murmur, which is the mildest form of the condition and is easily manageable. This little diagnosis hasn't slowed him down one bit! If you’re looking for a joyful, affectionate companion who is full of life and personality, Pickles is your perfect match. His adoption fee is $400. You can apply to bring this sweet boy home today at www.adoggie4you.org. This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.
