**Please note this is pet is currently out of town pet but we will transport this pet to OR for you when adopted. All fees listed include transport fees.** Meet Wizard Waverly! This charming little 10-pound Chiweenie may have a magical name, but his greatest spell is how quickly he can steal your heart. At just 3 years old, Wizard Waverly is a bright, curious, and affectionate pup who’s learning what it means to be loved and cared for. Wizard came to us from a heartbreaking situation — a home with over 30 dogs living in unsafe conditions. Thanks to the efforts of multiple rescues (including ours!), Wizard and his friends finally got their chance at a better life. Despite his rough start, Wizard’s resilience shines through every day. He’s housebroken, crate-trained, and making great progress learning to use the doggy door. He’s still working on his leash training, but he’s such a smart boy that he’s picking it up quickly! Wizard loves toys, especially ones he can chase or squeak, and he’ll happily entertain himself or join in a play session with his humans. Wizard can be a bit shy and skittish when meeting new people or encountering new situations — understandable given his past — but once he feels safe, his sweet, snuggly side shines. He loves attention, gentle pets, and being close to his trusted people. If you’re patient, loving, and ready to give Wizard Waverly the safe forever home he deserves, this little guy will reward you with endless love and loyalty. Interested in becoming a forever home for Wizard? Fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we don't go any further without an application. Find more adoptable pets, news and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws . We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you. Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting. We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and appreciate you working with us.For immediate consideration, please attach your application to the initial inquiry to help us expedite the process. Our adoption fee is $525. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses. All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public in Oklahoma. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed. Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!

Do you love your dogs big on love but little on legs? You have found yourself right where you need to be if so because this girl is a half-pint lover girl! Betsy is her name and she is a deeply loving, people-oriented girl who believes closeness is the greatest love language. The bonus for you is that not only is she loving but she has a great personality, keeps the humor high, and is about the cutest mini-mix around. Take a moment to watch her video and see just how short her legs are and just how big her love is. Meet her then come back to read more: 👉 https://youtu.be/JYDZZkD0bzs Betsy is estimated to be 2 years old, she weighs 26 lbs, and may be a Dachshund / Lab mix. Of course, given she is a rescue we cannot guarantee breed or birthday. I honestly could not get over how quickly connection came with Betsy. Seriously everyone who met her was in love within a few minutes simply because of how loving her connection is. She approaches new people with an enthusiastic, warm hello- the kind that feels like a life-long friend. That deep bond and connection comes from a sensitive heart which means when her people leave the room, she may paw or whine at the door because she wants so much to stay close. With patience, structure, and reassurance, she will continue learning confidence and independence, but her truest joy will always be near her people. Betsy is so fortunate and is living in a loving foster home while she waits for her adoption day. This means her foster has a front-row seat to her personality while she continues to learn the best house manners. Betsy lives with other dogs and loves the fun of canine companionship. She has a confident nature with other dogs and is quick to jump in and play with new friends. On leash, Betsy walks nicely when the world is quiet and calm. Around other dogs on leash, she can get excited and bark, especially when she wants to meet them (which is almost always.) Once greetings move to an off-leash setting, she relaxes, loosens up, and shows her happy, playful side -especially with friendly, medium-energy male dogs who enjoy chase-style play and also know how to take breaks. She currently lives successfully with both big and small dogs in her foster home, and would do best with dogs who are social but not overly pushy. She also shares affection well alongside another dog, which is a sweet reflection of her big heart. Now Betsy is perfect in every sense but that does not means she is without some areas of “no thank you.” Betsy is not a match for a home with cats and she will do best in a house with a yard rather than an apartment, since her chatty leash moments are best managed in low-traffic, controlled environments with off-leash introductions to resident dogs. What she offers in return is something super sweet and special. Betsy is warm, loyal, deeply loving, and wonderfully family-minded. She wants to be included, to curl up beside you, to follow you from room to room, and to live life as someone’s beloved bestie. For adopters who appreciate closeness, cuddles, and a dog who loves with her whole soul, Betsy will feel like home from day one. Questions about Betsy?
