Story
Meet Ry Ry, an adorable Terrier/Dachshund mix with a heart full of love and a tail that never stops wagging! This sweet pup is currently being fostered in Seguin, TX and is looking for his forever home—but only within Texas. Ry Ry is as social as they come! He loves playing with dogs of all shapes and sizes but especially thrives when he's with pups his own size. In fact, Ry Ry needs a home where he’ll have at least one doggy companion to wrestle, run, and snuggle with. Two of his best buddies, Milo and Tootsie, are also available for adoption and can be seen at www.friendsofdogsrescue.com. This little guy is also a true people lover—he adores being close to his humans and is happiest when snuggled up in bed with his foster mom and dad. One of his cutest traits? If Ry Ry wants your attention, he’ll quietly sit right in front of you and stare at you with the most loving eyes until you give in and scoop him up. Ry Ry is doing fantastic with potty training. He knows to go outside or find a potty pad if needed, although he still requires a potty break during the night. He’s not a fan of being crated alone, but if there's another dog to bunk with, he’ll settle right in. If you're looking for a loyal, playful, and affectionate pup who gets along with everyone, Ry Ry could be your perfect match. Apply to meet him today and let this sweet boy steal your heart!

Story
This little lady is something else! Bella is a three year old, 23 pound Dachshund mix that loves everyone. House, crate and leash trained. She loves to play but also loves her down time cuddled on her human. She does well with older dogs but would prefer a partner that loves to wrestle! She rides well in the car and did well at her introduction to Doggy daycare. She is spayed and up to date on all vaccines. If you'd like to meet Miss Bella, reach out to pottersangelsrescue.org/adopt.

Story
Meet Jewel (Papillon) and Ringo (Dachshund). They are 8 and 9 years old. They came to us when their owner went into a nursing home. They have been started on a diet and have grooming appointments scheduled. Although Jewel would do fine alone, Ringo is very attached to her, so they will be looking for a home together. They are very sweet pups and would do well in many different types of homes.
