Chewbacca is the sweetest little nugget you'll ever meet who is always at your side snuggled up. He's a terrier though, so he can be feisty walking by other dogs on a leash but he's all bark and no bite. He adores his people and would do best in a home with children, another playful small dog and a family who is home often. He does mark inside on occasion but is housetrained most of the time. He is fostered ni Houston TX and will be transported upon adoption His fee is $850. FILL OUT AN APPLICATION IF INTERESTED AT: www.recycleddogsrescue.org/adoption-application

Story
Marley & Bailey — A Mother-Daughter Bond Like No Other 🐾❤️ Some love stories are quiet and steady — built on trust, belly rubs, and always knowing where the other one is. Marley and Bailey, a bonded mother-daughter pair of Chihuahuas, are that kind of love story. At 7 and 6 years old and each a petite 13 lbs, these two have spent their whole lives side by side. They recently lost their person suddenly to cancer, and while their hearts have been through a lot, their tails haven’t stopped wagging. Because they still believe in love. And they’re ready to share it with someone new. Marley is the gentle, nurturing mom — the calm in the storm, the one who always knows when it’s time to curl up and rest her head in your lap. Bailey is the sweet and silly daughter — playful, affectionate, and never far from her mama’s side. Together, they are: 🐾 Crate trained and polite in the home 🐕 Great on leash – they walk in sync like they've practiced their whole lives 💤 Low energy, low maintenance – happiest when they’re near you ❤️ Overflowing with affection – belly rubs? Yes, please. Couch snuggles? Even better. 🐶 Bonded for life – and looking for someone to complete their little family These girls aren’t looking for adventure — they’re looking for peace. A cozy home, a quiet routine, a human or two who see them not as a pair of “small dogs,” but as a family who’s healing and ready to love again. If your heart has room for two, Marley and Bailey will fill it completely. Adopt them together. Love them forever. 💕 These girls are spayed and up-to-date on vaccines. The adoption fee for these dogs is $675.00 which includes routine vetting and spay/neuter. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care. The breed listed is based on any background we may have been provided, and the general appearance of the animal at the time they enter our system.

Story
It's Maybelline! 💕 Yes, she woke up like this — those fabulous brows are all natural! Maybelline is a teeny-tiny Yorkie Shih Tzu mix with the kind of charm that could melt even the iciest of hearts. With her perfectly fluffy coat and expressive little face, she looks like she walked straight out of a storybook (or a mascara commercial!). Maybelline is as sweet as she is stylish. She loves to prance around like a pint-sized princess, snuggle in soft blankets, and greet her favorite humans with the happiest tail wags. She’s got just the right mix of sass and sweetness — a total heart-stealer. If you’re looking for a little dog with a big personality and even bigger brows, Maybelline is ready to glam up your life and your lap! Side effects of adopting Maybelline may include uncontrollable smiling, spontaneous squealing, and an Instagram feed full of adorable. The adoption fee for this puppy is $475, which helps with the cost of routine vet care. PetConnect Rescue cannot guarantee the exact breed of any animal in our care.
