Story
Harley 2 is ready to travel to a community that will truly cherish him as a family member. He is currently in Oklahoma at our rescue. Because we want his transition to be as smooth as possible, we arrange direct-to-adopter transport to specific cities (listed below!). Adoptions are finalized in advance so that Harley can hop off the transport and right into your waiting arms. We stand by our pups for life—in the rare event it isn't a perfect match, Harley is never without a safety net; he will simply return to our care in Oklahoma on the next available transport until his perfect home is found. Meet Harley 2! 🐾 A social, sweet 1.5-year-old Chiweenie with a heart of gold. Harley 2 is a little guy with a lot of love to give! He is a charming Male Chiweenie who is just entering the prime of his life. After being surrendered to a local shelter, he’s now looking for a fresh start with a family that understands his "little dog" perspective and is ready to welcome a loyal companion. Why We Love Harley: A Friend to All Paws: Harley is quite the social butterfly and gets along well with other dogs! He’d be a great addition to a home with a resident pup to show him the ropes. A Crate Superstar: He is a total pro in his crate at the rescue. He’s quiet, settled, and treats it like his own little sanctuary. A Gentle Soul: He recently had a wonderful first meeting with a female adult (be sure to check out the video in this listing to see his sweet, tail-wagging greeting!). The Perfect Match: While Harley is a sweetheart, he previously lived with a 2-year-old that the parents let play in his food bowl when he was eating. To make sure he feels safe and confident, we are looking for a home with children aged 5 or older (or an adult-only household) where he can thrive in a calmer and smarter environment. Video of Harley 2 from March 11: https://youtube.com/shorts/RdzEOFYsFK8 Health & Wellness Harley is a healthy boy and will arrive at his new home fully "vetted" and ready for a fresh start! His adoption includes: Fully Vetted: Harley is already neutered and up-to-date on all his essential vaccinations (Rabies, DHLPP series, and Bordetella). Prevention: He has been dewormed, is heartworm negative, and is kept on monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. Safety First: To ensure he is in tip-top shape for his new family, he will be microchipped and receive a fresh fecal exam and a certified Health Certificate—all performed within 10 days of his transport date. Adoption Details Harley’s adoption fee is $900. This fee is all-inclusive, covering his neuter, all veterinary care listed above, and his seat on a professional transport service dedicated to getting him safely to your area.

Story
Welcome Mutz to CCPAL Rescue. Mutz is a 3-year-old Daug (Dachshund /Pug). He weighs about 12 pounds and is full grown and a nice weight. This dog came from the hoarder or overabundance of dog situation. He has an adorable underbit and has really blossomed at the Rescue. He is a quieter dog and has learned to like to be held. He is definitely a lap companion. He is playful with other dogs and has the sturdy body of the Pug. He would love to be a companion for a person that is retired, partially retired or maybe someone with a household that wants a dog with a lower energy to join in. He would be ok with a smaller condo size yard. He is learning leash manners and getting used to commotion of the Rescue. He hasn’t experienced a lot of different things so he isn’t sure yet but he is really really nice. He is not a big shedding dog. He is fine with nail trims and baths and will make some lucky family a great companion. I would say anyone moderately active would be fine for this dog. He bonds deeply and he warms up with affection nicely. He would be fine with children. We like them to be 8 or older. He is getting vaccinations, neutered and he will be ready for his forever home soon. He is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is 400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states Contact Marlene at 210-867-1769 or email to ccpalinquiries@gmail.com if you have questions.

Story
Meet August! August and his 7 siblings were found on the side of the road in Eastern Washington, along with their sweet mom Lola. We don’t know what breed mix they are, but they’re all very adorable. Mama Lola weighs about 30 pounds, and looks like a perfect mix between a Dachshund and a German Shepherd. Her pups will likely grow to be medium sized adult dogs. August is such a fun, playful boy. Lola’s pups are currently 6 weeks old and will be ready to leave mom at 8 weeks of age. They are all lovely pups with great temperaments. They will need proper socialization and training to become good canine citizens. We are looking for families who are dedicated to helping their pups develop into healthy and well adjusted dogs. For larger litters our adoption process is as follows: We review applications in the order they are received. We set up meet and greets with the puppies in order. The first applicant will have first pick of the litter, the second applicant will have second pick of the litter etc. We will set a date and time for each applicant to meet the pups. Once the pups are 8 weeks old, they are ready to begin their trial adoptions. Our trial adoption period is two weeks and that gives applicants sufficient time to ensure the pup is indeed a good match. Applications can be submitted via our website savinggreatanimals.org. We respond to all applications within 48 hours. The puppies will have received their first puppy vaccinations, microchips and deworming. They will be spayed and neutered between 8 and 12 months, which is included in the adoption fee. Adoption fee for the pups is $525. We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life! To expedite to meet with this dog, please go to our site at www.savinggreatanimals.org and fill out an application. We look at the first applications to arrive, so we hope to hear from you soon!

Story
Meet Meatball! This little fella found himself in a high kill shelter at risk of euthanasia through no fault of his own. He's just a baby! He arrived with us with his brother Pot Roast and together they are the cutest, funniest pups. We're not quite sure what their breed mix is. Scruffy fur mixed with soft fur, long ears, lanky legs with a stocky body - it is anyone's guess. They are about 10 lbs now and will likely grown to about 25-35 lbs.  Meatball is just a puppy so he is doing all the puppy things - exploring the world with his mouth (put your socks away), playing, sleeping, learning about the world. He has a lovely temperament and is playful and social. He will need continued training and socialization to grow up to be a good canine citizen. At this age he is too young to be alone for long. A home with a yard will be best for him.  Meatball has received his first puppy vaccinations, is microchipped and dewormed. He is scheduled to be neutered soon. His adoption fee is $525 We cover the medical to prepare the pet for adoption and the adopt donations go directly to cover those costs and range from $295-$495.  Thank you for stepping up to save a life!

Story
Adorable Joey deserves a loving and safe ending to his story! What humans did to Joey is heartbreaking, his first 6 years, his owner hogtied and tied him off to a tree to lure predators, like mountain lions, in for hunting. Next, he endured more abuse in another unstable home. By the time he landed in the shelter, he was just a shivering little puddle of fur in his kennel. Joey has lived in fear for 10 years. And yet… Joey still loves. He truly enjoys puttering around the yard, the garage and ... in the boat? He instantly perked up around a boat and we think he may have been someone's fishing buddy at some point in his life! He also jumped up on the Harley all on his own... Truly, he's happiest trotting around the yard and garage with his person, sniffing and then checking back in... he's simply your best quiet little sidekick!! Details: 🐶 10 yr old darling wire-haired dachshund mix that plays like he's 5. 💛 Bonds deeply with his human 🚗 Excellent in the car 🎾 Favorite play is tug 🐾 Walks nicely on leash 🏡 Thrives in a calm, predictable, adult-only home with no other pets. Joey absolutely loves to cuddle next to you - close enough to feel safe, independent enough to keep his dignity. When he needs something, he’ll stand on his little hind legs “prairie dog” style and grunt at you. It’s impossibly charming. Yes, he can be fear reactive - but it's completely manageable with voice correction. Joey needs someone who loves him enough to understand that putting him in a back bedroom or other safe space when company comes over is maybe the most loving caring thing you can do for him. But what Joey gives back in adorable loyalty and devotion is something special. Joey doesn’t need perfection. He just needs someone steady and kind. He is neutered, vaccinated and healthy!

Story
HiChew is a Miniature Wire Haired Dachshund. He’s shy but once your on the couch or bed then he will want to snuggle up next to you. He prefer to sleep with his hoomans. He will go potty outside and on pee pads, but could use more training in a new home. Due to his short stature, he sees people as giants and prefers to be petted when you're sitting down. He's been around other dogs and is fine with that. He has gotten desensitized to cats and doesn’t pay them much mind. He has been good with the children has been around. He doesn’t mind trips in the car. He is food motivated. Needs help to get up to the couch or onto the bed, human, wedges, or steps. He's a pretty smart little guy and just as cute and sweet as could be!! -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.

Or, how about these Dachshunds in cities near Seattle, Washington

These Dachshunds are available for adoption close to Seattle, Washington.

Story
General about info for the dogs currently listed in this group: Permanent, Loving Homes Needed for Senior Rescue Dogs Over many years, I have monitored and tried to help this particular group of dogs. These dogs have been loved, responsibly vetted, and cared for throughout their lives, though not in an ideal overall situation. They were in a somewhat hoarding situation… not the typical not cared for at all one, but still applies. They were kept clean and fed and I paid for most of their vet care along the way, but their owner would not surrender them until now. Due to this: Adoption fees are all $300, but will be returned once proof of dental is given. I am finally allowed to find them homes, and cannot provide the level of long-term veterinary care these dogs deserve — including dental work, senior monitoring, and ongoing medical needs, thus, I am seeking permanent, stable homes where their remaining years can be lived with comfort, dignity, and consistency. What I am looking for • A calm, stable home • Someone experienced with senior dogs • Financial ability to provide ongoing veterinary and dental care • A commitment to keep them for life — no rehoming • Patience, kindness, and realistic expectations These dogs are older (aged 8 to 12 years old), and while many are still active, affectionate, and content, they will require the kind of care someone prepared for senior dogs can provide. What I will provide Full transparency about age, temperament, and medical needs Important medical history is known I do not have every vaccine record/etc but they are all spayed/ neutered, microchipped, and current on rabies vaccines Time for proper introductions Careful, thoughtful placement — this will not be rushed I am open to placing individual dogs or compatible pairs, and I will work closely with the right people to ensure a good match. If you are genuinely experienced with senior dogs and are prepared — financially and emotionally— to care for one for the rest of their life, please reach out by private message and tell me about yourself, your home, and your experience. These dogs deserve peace, safety, and love for the remainder of their lives. Thank you for reading with compassion. Hello, My name is Aurora. I am about 9 years old, and was born 10/7/2017. I am fully vetted, and in great health. First of all, please know I am WAY cuter than my pictures do justice. I am a little wiggle butt, and my foster parents have had trouble getting a good picture of me. Also, the white on my face makes me look way older than I act. It has progressed since I was a baby, but I really dont act like an old lady! My only issue is that I am desperate need of a dental cleaning. My teeth are better than my sister from the same litter, who just found a home, but she had to have almost all of her teeth removed. I will most likely need at least a good portion of mine removed as well. The good news is that my shining personality will make up for this slight issue. I am beyond happy to do whatever you do, as long as you give me a chance to get to know you. My dog mommy, whom I was around for the 1st year of my life, and thus learned a lot from her, was super nervous natured. I am not like her often, except at first in new situations. I will need probably about 2 weeks to settle in before you try to take me on walks outside or anything similar. I do use potty pads very well, though so that makes this transition time easier. I am silly with a lot of energy. I do like food, but not super food obsessed. I love cats and other small dogs. I will NOT do well around children unless they are older and super patient and super calm with me. I am FULLY vetted: fixed, 3 year rabies, DDAVP, microchip, heartworm tested negative multiple times, including recently, and current on heartworm and flea preventative. My stuff comes with me (crate, bed, toys, hw flea prev for 3-6 months depending on where I am in between vet visits). Still needed: dental, and lepto if you plan on taking me outside in any possible standing water your yard or other places. This wasnt a thing in Houston, but apparently is here.

These pups are in Seattle, Washington too!

He likes to play although he still doesn’t know much about some of the toys. He loves to sleep in warm places. He is a great little boy. Fontenot arrived very fearful. He likes the corners of places, and he feels safe there. He has not managed to sleep in his bed. As for sleep, there are days when he sleeps all night and days when you stop at dawn to explore and play. He still has accidents inside the house, most of the time he manages to do it in the yard. He goes out several times a day. Inside the house he wears diapers and although sometimes he goes in them other times he does it outside the diaper. He is not sure about children yet. When they approach to caress or touch him, he is often not interested and isolates himself. Putting on a leash has not been to his liking either, no matter how much we motivate him to walk he does not want to do it. He is afraid of other dogs, they attract his attention but when they approach him or pass by him he gets too nervous. He does well in a car and is food motivated. He is a shy little guy but is also so sweet. -----

A Quick but Important Note to All Adopters:
Please remember that none of our dogs arrive fully trained. Most come from tough or uncertain beginnings and may have never lived in a home or known basic routines. That means:

✧ They are not potty trained on arrival. Most dogs regress in potty training when moving to a new environment.

✧ They may lack basic manners (like leash walking or appropriate chewing).

✧ They’re learning, growing, and doing their best—but they will need patience, structure, and compassion to succeed.

The majority of these pups have lived in the confinement of a cage or kennel run for most - if not all - of their lives. Because of this, we strongly discourage the use of crates for anything other than vehicle transport. They deserve the chance to decompress and learn what true freedom and comfort feel like.

Our amazing foster homes work hard to start these dogs on the right path, but they are rescues, not finished products. These dogs need time, consistency, and a loving home willing to meet them where they are.

Also, breed designations are our best guesses based on appearance and behavior. We can't guarantee breed, size, adult weight, or coat type.
