Story
Sweet Mistletoe came into the rescue after being surrendered by a puppy mill breeder in Ohio.  She is 5 year old and weighs about 11lbs.  Mistletoe has learned how wonderful it is to live in a home and that people give you love and affection.  She is finally a little more accepting of the attention. She can still bel nervous around new people, but warms up if she is allowed to approach.  Mistletoe likes to have her person in sight or the other pups. This sweet girl gets scared if people or kids grab at her so older children that can appreciate her boundaries would work best.  Mistletoe takes her cues from her foster pup siblings and has learned to go outside to potty.  She sleeps in her foster's bedroom in her crate with the door open.  It helps her feel comfortable that she can see her fosters. When her fosters' go to work,  Mistletoe has free reign of the house with her foster canine siblings.  She loves to "collect" things in her crate.  Her foster is working on basic commands since she is treat motivated.  Car rides are still a little scary, but she is doing better.  Mistletoe requires a PHYSICAL FENCE and another confident playmate. Her Spay date is 2/18/25. If you are interested in MIstletoe,  please fill out an application on the website.  Her adoption is $400 which goes toward her medical care, spay and her foster care expenses. ##2251819##

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)
