Story
Meet Que! He is a silly, goofy, lap dog, loves balls/toys, and is fully housetrained. Que likes the lap dog part quite a bit. He is, around 11 years old, and a perfect 16 pounds of snuggly goodness. Que's foster mom recently said that he is 'such a sweetheart. Has lots of energy, loves to greet you at the door and is so happy you are home. He loves his toys to play with on his own or with you. He'd be an excellent dog for someone who works from home or is just a homebody in general' Que also loves his canine friends, too. New people can cause some anxiety - when you are small, it's hard to know if people are friend or foe, you know? But, once he knows you, it's nothing but love. A while ago, Que lost his human family and ended up in the shelter. He had dental issues (all clear now!), skin issues (all clear now!), hadn't been neutered (all gone now!), and was so grumpy that the vet couldn't even examine him (much better now!). Basically his prior owners didn't take good care of him. TLRD fixed all of that and now I am like a different dog. There is only one thing that could be better in his life...you. Please apply today so that you can be Que's forever family.November 4, 2024, 8:32 pm

Story
Need a dog that gets along with dogs, cats, humans - pretty much everyone and everything - and also walks well on leash and loves to snuggle? That's me, Champ! I’m 13.5 lbs. and 14 years old, and my favorite things are walks, curling up in a blanket next to you on the couch, and naps. I am still figuring out toys but when I am really excited, I like to play with toys that do not have loud squeaks. On walks, I am calm and serene - not at all bothered by what might be going on outside (dogs, bikes, other people, etc.), as befits my age. I am appropriately wary of certain loud sounds and of new places; when it is dark it's harder for me to see. My foster says I'm the sweetest boy ever and would be a great addition to your family.November 4, 2024, 8:32 pm

Story
Little Brie was discovered as a stray and is currently being fostered by a kind family until she finds her forever home. At around 3 years old, Brie is blossoming and showing her sweet personality. She shares her space with a toddler and a 60-pound Catahoula, getting along well with both. Brie adores being held and cuddled and follows the other dog's lead in barking. She sleeps through the night without a peep.This affectionate girl will thrive with a patient family willing to establish boundaries and routines. Brie has yet to experience walking on a leash, so she'll need someone dedicated to helping her learn. She is extremely scared of strangers and will run if the leash slips. She will also door dash so she will need someone patient but firm and consistent. She loves to run around the yard and stretch her legs.If you're ready to welcome Brie into your family and show her what it means to be part of a loving home, apply to adopt her today!December 3, 2024, 5:38 pm

Story
Hammy is sweet, gets along with other dogs, and has the cutest apple-shaped noggin you’ll ever see. Although she’s a senior, she still has plenty of energy for playing pickle ball, knitting, and telling you about all the neighborhood gossip. Here’s some notes from her foster: Gail is a petite, short legged chi who wants to be your best friend. She can be shy at first but warms up quickly and then just wants to be nearby her favorite person/people. She would likely do well as an only dog or with a pal to hang with, especially if you are away from home a lot. Being that she is small and in her senior years, we believe she would be fine with children who are older, respectful, kind and gentle with her. Hammy is housebroken and has not had an accident inside. She eats well and has put on a little weight, which she needed. Since we don't have stairs, we don't know if she will be great at stairs or not. She mostly hangs out in her bed at my feet but also checks out the world at the living room window. She has a little bark when new people come to the house but will stop when you tell her to. She is okay at home alone (with my other dog) but will whine a bit at first, then settles in her bed until you return. She clearly would prefer to go with you on your adventures!

Story
Sugar Plum is a small, 12-pound adult dog with a big heart and a lot of love to give. She's a very loyal and quiet dog who loves to cuddle up on the couch with her favorite humans. She's dignified but very affectionate and seems to love gentle attention. Sugar Plum is friendly and gentle with both people and other dogs. She's a well-mannered dog who would make a great addition to just about any family, especially those with gentle, dog-loving children. Sugar Plum would enjoy accompanying you on walks, napping at your feet, and joining you on car rides. She's a good listener and will stick by your side through thick and thin. If you're looking for a furry friend to add to your family, Sugar Plum is waiting for you with his tail wagging and lots of kisses. Sugar Plum was rescued from a kind-hearted hoarder who meant no harm, but because there were so many dogs, Sugar Plum and others slept outside. She is really loving staying indoors and is learning about crate and developing her house training skills.

Story
Hi - my name is Duey! I am four-year-old male Chihuahua mix. According to my DNA test, I'm 57% Chihuahua, 14% Miniature Pinscher, 8% Shih Tzu, 5% Maltese, 5% Cocker Spaniel, 4% Bichon Frise, 3% Toy Poodle, 2% Pomeranian, and 2% Chinese Shar-Pei. According to my foster family, I am 100% adorable and sweet.    I was found abandoned as a puppy in a desert town in Arizona with three of my siblings. They actually had to get a specialist to trap us and it took multiple times to catch us because we were smart and, honestly, pretty scared of humans after being so alone like that. While I still take time to warm up to new people, I want their attention and especially, walks!!! I’m a really sweet and loving dog once you let me get to know you. I am also a one-of-a-kind silly boy with lots of leaps, skips, funny sounding barks (only when I’m super happy— I’m not a big barker), and doggie dances that show you how happy I am! I am also a great friend to other friendly dogs of all sizes and ages (and friendly with bunnies too, so probably would be fine with cats)! I’d actually do best in a home with another well-socialized and confident companion dog (or two or three!) because that is the fastest way to get me to trust the humans in the house and learn all the house rules — I copy the dogs!   So, if you are willing to be patient with me to reap the huge rewards of watching me come out of my shell to feel safe and loved in your home as my forever family -- which means you will get to see my sweet silliness and it will make you laugh -- then you should pick me! If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue website and complete an adoption application: www.icaredogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt Adoption fee includes: spay/neuter • shots up to date • micro-chip • fecal and vet check Breeds are not guaranteed.

Story
Hey there, I'm Tom Cruise! Yep, just like the famous actor—I may be short, but I do my own stunts and exude inexplicable confidence. Some say I'm getting up there in age, but I beg to differ—age is just a number, right? I'd say my number is maybe 13, but who's counting? Despite my past pampering, my owner suddenly disappeared from my life, leaving me to navigate the world on my own. But hey, I'm making the best of it and working hard to fit in wherever I can. I'm quick, athletic, and maybe just a tad sneaky. With great eyesight and hearing, I'm always ready for action. While I'm cool with other dogs, I prefer to be myself or maybe the only pup in the place. I'm perfectly content cuddling up on your lap, next to you, or even around your neck—wherever you'll have me! While I love all people, I have a soft spot for older, active folks who appreciate just how awesome I am. I've got a lot to offer and I'm ready for my comfy second act. So what do you say? Ready to pick me and fill out that application today? Let's make it happen! If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue website and complete an adoption application: www.icaredogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt Adoption fee includes: spay/neuter • shots up to date • micro-chip • fecal and vet check Breeds and age are not guaranteed.
