Story
Meet Milo!!!  This special boy is a 4 1/2 year old, 11 lbs maltipoo.  He is the complete package.  This sweet boy is good with other dogs both big and small.  He is also good with cats.  Milo is an active little guy that has the best time running and playing with his foster brothers and sisters.  They all have the best time in their fenced in yard.  Milo really enjoys playing but he is also all about the most important thing--YOU!  Milo loves his foster mom.  If she sits down he is right there.  If she goes to the kitchen Milo is right behind her to see if he can help.  At bed time, you got it, trotting down the hall with you.  This great guy would be an excellent companion for a young single person or a great addition to a family with children 6 and older.  (to our knowledge he has not been around toddlers and we don't want to set him up for failure.)  Milo is so small that he could go everywhere with you that doggies are allowed even in the airplane on vacation!  This boy does not want to be left behind.  Milo is ready for a late new year celebration when he meets his forever family.  Hopefully that will be with you.  To be considered for Milo's frever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcaast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Milo is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)January 6, 2025, 2:04 pm

OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable. Read more about heartworm disease here here

Story
Ryker would thrive most in a home as he was the only pet. He has been socialized with other dogs but not regularly, and it can be hit or miss. He currently lives with two cats and requires redirection daily when it comes to interacting with them. He has a small dog attitude and requires a lot of attention, so I want him to go to a home where he will be with his owners. Work from home or retired. He sleeps in his room at night, gated, not crated. He is very playful and will bring you his toys to play fetch. He signals to go outside and responds to the question, " Potty?" He eats twice a day, pedigree small breed half and half with pedigree wet food. He is around younger teen boys but not small children and feels more comfortable with no small children being part of your application. He is up to date on shots, not fixed, and does not have bad "unfixed behaviors" if you know what I mean to answer any questions about that.

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
Meet Charlie. The sweet senior was surrendered with his brother, Clyde, to our rescue by the only family they’ve ever known. While these two boys technically had a home, they were kept in the basement and did not have the care or engagement they deserved. Both dogs came into the rescue in dire need of dental work, both living with pain and infection. Clyde also had a heart murmur that needed evaluation. Both pups have since been fully vetted, had dental work, and been groomed. They live in a wonderful foster home, getting lots of love and attention and flourishing. They are both exceptionally sweet, easygoing seniors who do well with cats, dogs, and all people. NOTE: Charlie and Clyde are not bonded, but they are friends. They can be adopted as a pair or separately, so we are featuring each pup individually. Charlie’s little side grin will melt your heart immediately. He is an easygoing boy who is very connected to his people. He may be a senior, but he still has a bounce in his step when it’s food time or heading out for a walk. Every once in a while, he will get the zoomies and run up and down the hall as quickly as he can. He loves being part of a family and will greet you with joy and enthusiasm when you come home. He just wants to belong and have his people to love. Charlie is a low to moderate-energy dog and champion cuddler. He follows his foster mom from room to room and immediately jumps in her lap when she sits down. He enjoys the company of other dogs, so we think another laidback pup in his home would be ideal. He’s not one to engage in play and is not very focused on toys, but he’s a respectful pup with a live-and-let-live attitude and makes a great pup companion. He also enjoys his walks and has good leash skills. In his prior home, Charlie’s family kept their dogs in belly bands 24 x 7 and did not give them regular potty breaks, so Charlie had to re-learn the basics. His foster mom, Jen, has done a great job with him,  ensuring he has a consistent routine and regular potty breaks, and used a puppy pen to contain him when she couldn’t watch him. He’s responded well and hasn’t had any accidents in weeks. He will even  perk up from a deep sleep if you say the word “outside.” Charlie no longer wears a belly band, and she no longer uses the pen. At night, she leaves him loose, and he is fine sleeping in bed or on his bed next to you. Over the Thanksgiving holiday, Charlie did well meeting the extended family. He might give a quick bark when company arrives to alert you, but as soon as everyone settles in, he’s exploring new laps to snuggle up to. Charlie is a sweet and calm pup who deserves to live out his golden years in a loving home. He has good house manners, doesn’t chew on things, makes a good pup companion, and loves to cuddle.  Apply today!
