Story
Interested in two small fluffy senior dogs? Meet Daisy Mae and her 'sister' Bessie Boo our maltese/shih tzu mixes. They lost the only home they've ever known when their owner passed away and are looking for a new retirement home where they can stay together. We dont know if they are actually sisters but they are both 11 years old. Daisy Mae is the motherly one of the pair and is the smaller one at a little over 9 lbs. She watches over Bessie and will not sleep or eat without her Bessie Boo. Both are very quiet and we havent heard daisy bark yet. Perfect for apartments or condo with shared walls! They have been used to living with a woman, but have no problems with getting attention from men. They have been around older children but not toddlers. Daisy loves being a lap baby and enjoys stretching out on the back of the couch like a cat. Larger dogs scare her but she is fine with small dogs and pays no mind to the vets cat. If you tell her go potty she will go outside with you. These two have a very special bond and have touched our hearts. We really want to keep them together, so if you have room for two tiny quiet girls, apply at www.caninecollective.org.

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)
