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.

LUNA is currently being fostered in TEXAS. Luna is the sweetest girl. The smallest of her siblings and the calmer one of the group. I think she has a bit more chihuahua in her than the rest. Luna is apx 4-8 months old and 10 pounds. She will probably be about 15-20 pounds fully grown. Mama is a chi mix about 15 pounds. We are guessing by the looks of the other siblings there is some chi, maybe a dash of pug and daddy may have been a border collie. Luna is social, happy, loving, adorable, and you just can’t help but want to love on her. She is going to make a wonderful part of your family and will certainly make your days brighter and your hearts fuller. Luna is great with other dogs, cats and well mannered kiddos.

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.

Story
SPARROW is currently being fostered in TEXAS Sparrow is approximately 6 to 8 years old and 19 pounds. As a side note her shelter paperwork states she is 9yr and 11 pounds which is inaccurate). Sparrow was in a very bad shelter after being rescued from a hoarding situation. She appears to be a min pin. Sparrow is missing her right eye and has a scar in her left. This surgery was done by the rescue organization that originally pulled her from the shelter. She has sight in her left eye. Sparrow also had a teeth cleaning, no extra time needed which is why we believe she is more around 6 year ls not 9. Sparrow has been through a lot and has a sadness to her. She is a bit of a lost soul but has a sweet and forgiving heart. Sparrow was very scared her first few days and would scream when we went near here, then bark at us. Once we gained her trust, she was a little love bug. Sparrow is great with dogs of all ages and sizes. I think toddlers would be a little too much for her but older kids would be fine. She is gentle, quiet kind and she wants so badly to love and be loved. She will need some decompression time in her new home and environment but I promise just give her a few days and she will be trusting and wanting and needing of your love and affection and will easily gratefully, return it. Sparrow is a true rescue dog. She has a lot of healing to do. She needs a quiet home with a soft hand and gentle voice. She will walk on leash and harness well once she gets to know you but the first few days she will probably be terrified so some extra precaution should be made for those few first few crucial days of taking her out to potty. A fenced in yard or secured fenced or penned area would probably be preferred for the first few days but if not, you can take her out on a leash and SECURE harness making 110% sure she can not get out of her harness/collar.
