Story
We cannot get enough of this sweet little face! Meet BRANCH, an adorable little mixed breed girl looking for a home. She's a petite 1-2 year old 19 pound jet black girl. Our best guess on breed mix is pug/Italian greyhound, probably with a few other breeds mixed in. She has a puggy face and the lean long legged body of a sighthound. Her long legs make her look like a big dog, but she's so much smaller than she appears in photos. Branch is such a fun bouncy girl. She loves toys and treats. Branch is dog friendly, afraid of cats and loves making friends with everyone she meets. If you'd like to meet Branch, please fill out a dog adoption application at dreamhouserescue.org. We are happy to arrange a private meet with an approved adopter. You can meet Blanche at our weekly adoption event, Saturday noon-2 at PetSmart Eastgate. All of our fully-vetted adoptable dogs go to prospective homes for a one-week trial period to make sure the dog and home are the right fit before an adoption is finalized. We only adopt dogs into homes where all current pets are spayed/neutered and current on vaccines and heartworm and flea and tick prevention. We do check veterinary references to make sure adopters are compliant with standard veterinary care. Our adoptable dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, dewormed and current on flea and tick and heartworm prevention.

Story
🎄 Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree with Roxy! 🎅🐾 Hey there, future best friend! I’m Roxy, your soon-to-be holiday sidekick, ready to fill your home with cheer, zoomies, and energy this season. If you’re into plush toys, festive fun, and a pup who lives for adventure, then we’re about to make some holiday magic together! 🎁✨ When I play, I go all out—think of me as your little Christmas whirlwind! I LOVE chewing on toys (Santa, please bring me more!) and have enough excitement to light up the whole neighborhood. My enthusiasm might be a bit much for some pups, but my foster sister keeps me in check when I need a reminder. I promise, it’s all in good fun—I’m just here to sleigh the day! Now, I’ll admit: new places can make me feel a bit like a Christmas cookie fresh out of the oven—nervous and warm. I might pace, drool, or pant when I’m adjusting, but with patience, love, and a good decompression plan, I’ll be as cozy as a pup in a stocking. Once I know the rules, I’ll show you how amazing I can be! 🎁 Here’s my holiday wish list: 1.) Patience and understanding while I adjust to my new home. 2.) Clear boundaries and rules to help me feel safe and secure. 3.) LOTS of playtime to burn off my reindeer-worthy energy. 4.) A loving family who understands vet visits make me a bit nervous (but treats help a ton!). 5.) Treats, belly rubs, and a cozy spot by the fire to call my own. If you’re ready for a lively, loving, and loyal pup to make your holidays brighter, I’m your girl. Let’s deck the halls, play in the snow, and create a lifetime of memories together! 🎅 Love, Roxy 🐾

Story
🎄 Holly Jolly Lightning McQueen 🎅🐾 Ka-chow and ho-ho-ho! I’m Miss McQueen—Lightning to my friends—and I’m here to sleigh your holiday season with fun, adventure, and love! Whether it’s chasing squirrels in a winter wonderland or snuggling by the fire with my crew, I’m ready to be the best gift you’ve ever unwrapped. 🎁 I’m all about living life in the fast lane—outdoors is where I shine! Squirrels, birds, rabbits—you name it, I’m on it. But don’t let my speed fool you; I’m also a pro at relaxing after a day of festive fun. Give me a comfy couch, some holiday movies, and I’m your ultimate cuddle buddy. Last year, my journey hit a detour when I found myself in a shelter after my adopter left me behind. But I didn’t let that slow me down! I’ve been working on shedding those extra holiday pounds (down from 78 lbs to a sleek 60 lbs!) and am looking for my forever family to help me stay on track. With your help, I’ll be dashing through the snow in no time! ❄️ 🎅 Here’s why I’ll make your holidays merry and bright: 🎄 I’m great with other dogs, cats, and kids—perfect for a bustling holiday home. 🎄 I’m housebroken, crate-trained, and full of love—Santa himself would approve! 🎄 I balance my high-energy squirrel chases with cozy snuggle sessions—best of both worlds! If you’re ready to welcome a loyal, loving, and adventurous pup into your home, I’m ready to make your holiday season unforgettable. Fill out that adoption app, and let’s race into a lifetime of love and laughter. 🎁 Love, Miss McQueen 🐾

Story
🎉 Meet Izzy, Your New Year's Resolution! 🎉 Are you ready to start 2025 with a bang? Izzy is a 64-pound, spayed sweetheart who’s ready to help you crush your goals for the year ahead! With her moderate activity level, she’ll happily join you on those “new year, new me” walks, followed by plenty of couch time as you catch up on your favorite shows. What’s Izzy’s deal? Diet: She’s on hydrolyzed Royal Canin, so she’s got her nutrition game down pat. Pets: Dogs of any size? Yes, please! Cats? Hard pass. Training: Crate trained, house trained, and always ready to learn—just set some clear boundaries, and she’ll stay on track! Kids: Older kiddos are her vibe. Small kids haven’t been tested, but this curious girl can be a bit of a freight train with her enthusiasm. Her Favorites: Booty Rubs: ALL day, every day. Seriously, she can’t get enough. Hard Toys: Soft toys don’t stand a chance, but give her something sturdy, and she’s in heaven. Her Bed: It’s her personal throne. Playmates: She’d thrive with a doggy sibling to romp around with. Izzy isn’t a lap dog, but if you get down to her level, she’ll happily soak up your love without jumping all over you. She’s as sweet as they come and promises to make 2025 your best year yet! 💫 Start the New Year with Izzy by your side—apply today and give her the forever home she’s been dreaming of! 💫
