Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Louie, a sweet Pekingese mix who is ready to find his forever home. Born around January 9, 2025, and weighing about 14 lbs, Louie’s life hasn’t been easy so far. He and his friend were living in a bus lot for eight weeks during our winter freeze, struggling to survive in a tough and cold environment. Tragically, Louie was hit by a car during this time, and another dog from their group went missing. Thankfully, a skilled trapper was able to rescue Louie and his friend Jetson, bringing them to safety where they’ve been healing. Though Louie is still a little shy at first, he’s warming up to people and starting to come out of his shell. He’s been in foster home recovering from his orthopedic surgery from his broken leg, and has been great with dogs of all sizes and doesn’t mind cats, so if you have other pets, he’ll fit right in. Louie loves to play with other dogs. He’s quiet, well-mannered, and calm in the house, and he’s already kennel trained and potty trained. Louie is neutered, heartworm tested, up to date on vaccines, and current on preventatives like ProHeart and Bravecto. He’s microchipped, and after his accident, he now has fully recovered, which has helped him get back to his playful self. Louie is looking for a patient, loving family who will allow him to continue healing and growing into the wonderful companion he’s meant to be. His adoption fee is $400, and is currently located in Texas but is eligible for transport to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington (Kentucky), or anywhere along the East Coast. Please note there is an additional transport fee of $225, and we cannot transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to state regulations. If you think you could be the right family for Louie, please apply today at www.adoggie4you.org. Louie is ready to blossom into a loving, playful, and loyal friend for the right person or family.

Story
Ollie is a sweet 2yr old Shih Tzu that is looking to start over with a new family. He decided he didn’t like his dog sibling (a much bigger dog) and the family was afraid he would get hurt. He definitely wants to be the boss, so a family that is loving but also sets boundaries, would be his ideal home. He loves hard and wants to be with his person every minute of the day. When left, he does have anxiety, but that should improve with time. His previous family crated him at night but he absolutely loves to sleep beside his person. He is being fostered with Cats. They do not run from him, so he has not chased them even though at times, he would really love them to takeoff running from him. ðŸ\x90¾â\x9D¤ï¸\x8Fhttps://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=ch2817&method=online_form_html&formid=41Disclaimer: I am located in Texas. I can be transported once adopted. Transport fee is $250.*Disclaimer: This pet is located in Texas. Once adoption is finalized the pet will be transported to the adopters location for an additional fee (currently $230-$250).* The adoption fee helps to cover some of the cost of vetting the animal prior to adoption (spay/neuter, microchipping, and up to date vaccinations).Please fill out an adoption application to be considered for adoption. https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=ch2817&method=online_form_html&formid=41

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.HAZEL says 'HI' and she would love to have a home of her own to love and care for her.  She loves to get her head rubbed and just hang out with her human to be close.  She is a great cuddler and just loves to hang around you.   At 3 years old and 12 pounds she makes a great companion for any family that is willing to let her hang out with you and just give her the love and attention she so deserves. HAZEL and her son were owner surrendered to me by a backyard breeder who only had the dogs in her home to make money.  Surprisingly HAZEL has a great, quiet and mild temperament with no aggression in any area.  When I put her out to potty I have to make sure to leave her out a while because she tries to get right back in to follow me around the house. If you are interested in adopting HAZEL, please submit an application on the website below.  Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org     ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED   Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.  Each dog comes  spay/neutered (fixed), rabies shots appropriate for their age, and dewormed twice.  The dogs are up to date on vaccinations according to their age at the time of adoption.  They are microchipped, heartworm tested and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative.  ALL OF THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTION FEE.

Story
Hi Everyone! My name is Magnolia (Maggie for short). I am a 4 month old Shih Tzu/Chihuahua mix (yes, we know my mom and dad!). I weigh a wee 4lbs currently and may be 7-8 pounds fully grown. I am a typical puppy and need training - I'm pretty good with pee pads and am not a fan yet of doing my business outdoors - (would you be? - it's too darn cold!). Friendly, gentle canine house friends would be great. I'm cat and kid approved as well! For more information about making me your next 4-legged family member, please contact Michelle at michelle.p@paoinc.org

Story
Meet JoJo. JoJo was found by a good samaritan on the streets where he was hit by a car. He was in pain and terrified, and would not let anyone touch him, so she scooped him up in a tote. Our rescue has committed to him. He was taken to the vet where he was checked out. Luckily, he only had some bruising. We are paying to get him heart worm tested(neg), rabies vaccinations, microchipped, Bordetella, neutered and we even had a full dental done on him. He will be ready for adoption towards the end of February. His foster mom picked him up yesterday and said he’s a very, very sweet calm boy and really seemed to enjoy the car ride home. He is an adult male, about 6 years old and weighs approximately 18 pounds although he is a a bit overweight. We are guessing possible Shih Tzu/Lhasa Apso or terrier mix. His owner was contacted and never came forward to claim him so let’s find him a wonderful loving, forever home. Please visit our website at https://sites.google.com/view/muddymoosemutts/home or email pawrescued2016@gmail.com for an application. His adoption fee is $525.

Click HERE for Adoption Application: pawsrescueleague.org/adopt Adoption fees vary based on the dog and are not negotiable. As a small rescue that does not receive government funding or grants, we rely on adoption fees to stay afloat. Adoption fees help cover the following: vaccinations, wellness exams, heartworm/4DX testing, parasite prevention, spay/neuter (age-appropriate), microchipping, transport expenses, and other rescue-related overhead/administrative costs. Paws Rescue League, Inc is an all-inclusive rescue that does NOT only rescue puppies and young, healthy dogs.  We make a point to also rescue seniors, dogs with special needs, moms, and other “less desirable” dogs, knowing that we will likely incur higher veterinary expenses and that these dogs may take longer to get adopted.  As such, an individual adoption fee is not only reimbursing PRL for expenses directly related to that dog, but it is also helping us to continue our mission of taking in dogs that would otherwise be too much of a financial burden to save. We believe that ALL dogs deserve a second chance. Thank you for your support and understanding! ##2297667##
