Story
Popcorn is about 18 lbs., 14 years old and according to Google lens, a West highland terrier. Animal Care Services thought he was a Maltese mix and foster mom thinks he could be a Schnauzer/Maltese mix but knows for sure that he is the cutest scruffy EVER!!! His journey hasn't been all snuggles and treats as he lived on someone's apartment patio for years, lying in poop, grass and other debris until Animal Care Services came for him and God's Dogs Rescue was able to save the little scamp. While he still loves his humans, other gentle pups his size (cats unknown) and his squishy toys and chewy, understandably he has a few emotional scars especially regarding vet visits and grooming. Slow, patient progress in these areas has helped him be more confident, but will need a patient adopter to help him adapt. Things that make Popcorn super happy are spending time with his humans after he gets to know them, car rides and walks in the park. He loves, loves his squishy toys and generally carries one around with him. His most favorite game is for his person to chase him and pretend to take his squishy away. He also like to run zooms and if there isn't a person to play with he will often throw his toys for himself. Doesn't that just make you want to throw his stuffies so he can play?? He's a healthy guy for his age with just a few old man issues (beginnings of cataracts) that he takes supplements for and should continue taking. His liver enzymes were high when tested but he is on a med to help them normalize. Can you give this boy the right lap to live in?? He needs very patient/knowledgeable adopters, no children- adult only because he will bite if afraid... It is a work in progress but he is becoming the goofy boy he was meant to be while living on the nasty hot and freezing porch for most of his 14 yrs :( GIVE HIM A CHANCE!!! Local adoption only $200 (in TX)

Story
Émile “ The Big Deal” aka Meal Deal! Meal Ticket, Meal Worm… foster mumsie likes to rhyme. My name is fancy and French as a nod to my fancy French maltipoo lineage. Here’s a little about me you’ll want to know. I’m 1-2 years old , abt 13lbs and boast the most marvelous low shedding curls. Also.. my fur is he magic stuff that doesn’t stick to your yoga pants,sofa,or cause the leaky nose. Lucky you! Snuggle me with no worries. I love to go on walkies. I go several times a day for short walkies and to see tree cats( squirrels)…I can only chase tree cats. Inside cat says no..and I respect her pawsition! Have you seen their murder paws? No thank you! I’m on my best behavior around Fierce Fiona the inside cat. I also dig playing with my other small dog foster friends and roomies. I’m a real smarty pants with a little mischievous streak that you’ll learn to love when you ask for a kiss and I come bouncing to you and give…kisses on command! Best trick ever. I’m almost completely potty trained and do use my pee pads in an emergency. I’m kennel trained so I don’t get into trouble when foster mums not home, and….I’m not a yapper. Let’s hang out….forever! You just pick me and my people will get back to you. Foster mom here: Émile is a happy, bouncy little dog with all the love to give. He will do best in a home with med energy and another small dog to play with. Daily walks are his favorite. He is very smart and even climbs trees so he does need to be supervised and have a very secure yard or be properly leashed. He is available for adoption locally only so you can come and meet him here and see him in the environment he’s used to. He is timid at first in new places but warms up quickly. He’s been very good with gentle kids,but will also love “sharing “their toys. He is a bit of chewer and has been learning redirection very well. Local adoption fee is $400.00 (in TX)
