Story
KIKI – Mexi-Hound Mix / 2.5 years / 17 kg / F-Spayed We asked Kiki's foster parents the secret to her success, and it just comes down to the right match! Kiki is so incredibly smart and thrives when in learning mode. Combined with her passion for activity, this girl will soar! Exercising her body and her mind give this girl her glow! She would make a great running partner and would appreciate a 5k in her day. She is great on a leash, and as her favourite mode is "let's go!" a jog would be fab for her. Her training foundation is solid - she knows a ton of commands, is great in the house, has good leash manners: where her new people will have fun with her training is with agility or other mind/body programs. In her downtime, she is very cuddly and happy to be with her people. Some dogs may find her a bit extra, so we think she'd be happiest as the solo dog in the home, provided there are a ton of toys and playtime. If you are looking for an adventure buddy in your life, Kiki could be for you! Please check out the adoption process and application at www.dibsrescue.com. Her adoption fee is $750. If you are a family with older kids, please check out our resources on kids and dogs before you apply. (https://dibsrescue.com/kids-dogs)

Story
Meet Buttercup! This sweet little Shipoo is about 7 years old and only 16 lbs. She’s a very sweet, affectionate, and gentle little pup. She does require regular grooming appointments for her coat. We’re looking for an experienced adopter for this sweet pup. Buttercup MUST be the ONLY dog. She does not get along with other dogs at all. Not even for visits. She will select her “person” in the house and not leave their side, this little one is very attached. She can be possessive of her people. Buttercup did share a household with a cat for a brief time and did well, but the cat would need to be very dog savvy and slow introductions. Right now Buttercup is used to having her human around all the time and makes a darling little shadow. She is loving with her people and will happily curl up beside you and always wants to snuggle. Buttercup also loves to dance when she gets excited for walks or training sessions. She is a picky eater, but loves cheese. She is also housetrained and has not had an accident in her current foster home. She is also good with letting you know when she needs to go outside. Back in July 2023, Buttercup had 2 lumps removed from her mammary glands. They were benign mixed mammary tumors. More of these may develop in other random mammary glands. The risk that any will become malignant is less than 10% as per her medical records. Buttercup is not a fan of car rides, resulting in anxiety in the car. She is making good progress on this, however her new home should have patience with her as she acclimates to car rides. She is also an incredibly gentle girl and has been great with the child in the home. Older dog savvy children only. She prefers to sleep close to her people, either in the bedroom or on the bed. Sudden movements and loud noises can startle her. She does get anxious in new situations, but patience and understanding and keeping things calm will help her relax. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle, loving pup, Buttercup may be the one for you.

Story
Luma is currently being fostered in TEXAS. Luma does have a cherry eye, but she will be having that removed on June 20th. Luma and her sister Rosalina were owner surrenders. Luma is an all around good girl. Apx 6-7 years old and a chunky overweight 16.5 pounds. Luma needs to be on diet and get exercise. Luma rarely barks. She walks well on leash, she is potty trained, is great with cats, kids and dogs. She is good in the car and has an overall great demeanor. Her and her sister were very nervous when they first came in, but they are opening up more and more every day. Luma is playful and silly at times and more confident than her sister. She is very friendly and although this chapter of her life has been difficult, the best is yet to come and we know that there is a great family out there for Luma. We will send updated photos of her fantastic new look next week Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.

Story
PACO TACO is currently being fostered in TEXAS. Paco Taco is apx 2-4 years old and 9.6 pounds. He is a bit of a handful but the most loving boy you will ever find. Have you ever dreamed of having a man that was obsessed with you? Well let me introduce you to Paco, he will probably try to take a shower with you. LOL Paco is a velcro dog and he does have some separation anxiety. Paco Taco is actually quiet once he can’t see you, like if you go to work, he stays quiet and calm until your return, he only cries for a few moments when you leave then settles down. However, if you are home and he can not get to you, such as a shut door, kennel, baby gate, that is when the show starts. The tears, whining and crying is an entire theatrical performance. He’s a big baby. Paco walks well on leash. He has okay potty manners but did mark a couple times when he first arrived, but has not marked again in a while. He holds his potty all night. We do have some natural anti-anxiety medication we can send with him on transport. Oddly enough, he does ok in the car. He is good with cats and female dogs but not the best with dominant male dogs. He wants to be the king of the house. He would do fine with well mannered older children. Paco Taco takes a little patience but he sure will love you past the moon and look at you like you hung the stars. 🌟 Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.

YODA is currently being fostered in TEXAS. ***Please note that we would prefer to have YODA and SPARKLES adopted together*** Yoda is apx 8 -9 years old and 12 pounds, a shitzu/chihuahua mix. She was an owner surrender with her “sister” Sparkles. We are hoping they can be adopted together but we do want what is best for them and to find the girls an amazing home. Yoda gets a dental on the 23rd. She is a tripod. Yoda does have some cataracts starting in her eyes, some cloudiness and her teeth are awful so she will most likely lose quite a few toofers. Yoda is a bit more nervous than her sister Sparkles. She is good with cats and dogs but no small children please. Yoda is more shy and needs some time to warm up. She is not an aggressive dog just a bit scared and nervous. This is A LOT of change for her. Yoda is a sweet gentle older girl and she needs her forever home to be a place to rest her head, feel love and security.
