Story
WE ARE A TX BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application found at haydudeequine.org Khloe - You are the bridge between what was and what will be, my pathway to a new life! Meet Khloe (that's me!), your next furry BFF! I'm here searching for a family, a home...one I can say will be ALL mine! Since you're reading this, could that possibly mean my family could be with YOU?!! I'm around 3years old which puts me at a fabulous age...out of the puppy destructive stage but still active and playful. I am super sweet but am a tad bit on the shy side at first meet. Once I warm up to you I will for sure shower you with all the love I've got stored up! I am super affectionate in my foster home. I love snuggling with you on the couch and I love anything soft. Your lap, a fluffy blanket, a pillow, a doggie bed if I have to, but I'd rather be closer to you. I also do great with the other pups at my foster home and I mostly just leave the resident kitty alone. I come in at about 9lbs which is also a pawsomely perfect size for, well yes, everything. Neighborhood strolls, mild concrete nature trails, co-piloting errand runs, supervising yard work, you name it I'm the gal for the task at hand!! I was born with my back legs deformed but I can scoot around in the house pretty darn well!! I don't even realize I'm not like the others. I can even go up and down stairs. I just can't jump up on the couch but I will sit there and stare at you until you lift me up! I'm still just one of the sweetest girls you'll have the pleasure to meet. My foster mom got me a wheelchair and I went for my very first walk. I stopped and looked at this and stopped to smell that... with a smile on my face the whole time!! I will need regular grooming to keep me looking this spectacular! A few weekly brushings and maybe a trip to the groomer every so often is a small price for this much gorgeousness in one compact package!! Unfortunately my previous home didn't do that and I had to be shaved the whole way as my coat was super matted. But not to worry, it does grow back!! I will make a great companion for a family that is looking for a sweet lil girl that will be your BFF, your lil sidekick in all your life's adventures from mundane daily to weekend exciting!!! Please fill out my adoption application, it can be found at haydudeequine.org

Story
Hi. I am a 1 year old tiny, brown and white female Shitsu who comes as a bonded pair with my 2 year old morkie brother, Zeke. You see, we were brought up together and depend on each other. I was originally found wandering the streets of San Antonio when I was a young puppy. Zeke came from a breeder. I am good with all people, including children. I get along well with other small dogs. Not sure about cats or large dogs since foster mom doesn't have either. I love to snuggle and sleep in the bed with my brother and foster mom. I am good on a leash and love chew toys and bones. I am pretty calm but can be a bit of a barker. I like going for car rides. I am kennel trained and do best being kenneled with my brother. I am pee pad trained and am working on potty training. I do the best when I am on a consistent schedule. So, if you have a lap big enough for a pair of lap-loving tiny dogs, we are your guys. Have your peeps contact my peeps and we'll get this love fest started. Adoption fee local in Texas is $700 for the both of them, the out of state fee is $1200, this includes the transport fee for both of them as well as the fuel surcharge.

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.This is RIP, a 2 year old, 18.30 pounds Shih Tzu/Maltese mix.  He is such a beautiful dog with a soft beautiful soul. RIP was found roaming the streets with his daughter and son, WHISPER & BREEZE.  They are 6 months old and available for adoption.  They were posted on multiple social media pages looking for their owner to come forward but no one ever claimed them.  And we really wonder where the mother is without them.  The puppies pictures and bio's are available. Since coming into my home, RIP has been a quiet and well-mannered little guy.  He mplays and gets along with all of the foster dogs.  I have small breed and 2 large Rottweilers that he plays with very nicely.  He does go outside to potty but he prefers coming right back in to hang out with me.   He does not jump on the furniture like some other dogs in my home but he does come up for head rubs and love and attention.  RIP would love a home of his own so he does not have to share the love with so many other dogs. If you are interested in adopting RIP, please submit an application on the website below.  Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org     ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED   Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.  Each dog comes  spay/neutered (fixed), rabies shots appropriate for their age, and dewormed twice.  The dogs are up to date on vaccinations according to their age at the time of adoption.  They are microchipped, heartworm tested and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative.  ALL OF THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTION FEE. We transport across the United States. Medical records will come with each dog at the time of adoption. Our organization is run by volunteers/foster parents, please be patient to give us time to respond to your emails and/or phone calls.  We will reply to you.  Thank you.         November 8, 2024, 8:59 am

Story
Please contact Jamesa (roxysrescue@yahoo.com), 713-882-2610 for more information about this pet.HAZEL says 'HI' and she would love to have a home of her own to love and care for her.  She loves to get her head rubbed and just hang out with her human to be close.  She is a great cuddler and just loves to hang around you.   At 3 years old and 12 pounds she makes a great companion for any family that is willing to let her hang out with you and just give her the love and attention she so deserves. HAZEL and her son were owner surrendered to me by a backyard breeder who only had the dogs in her home to make money.  Surprisingly HAZEL has a great, quiet and mild temperament with no aggression in any area.  When I put her out to potty I have to make sure to leave her out a while because she tries to get right back in to follow me around the house. If you are interested in adopting HAZEL, please submit an application on the website below.  Thank you. www.roxysk9rescue.org     ADOPTION FEE & APPLICATION REQUIRED   Roxxy's K-9 Rescue does not have a shelter, all of our dogs are raised in foster homes.  Each dog comes  spay/neutered (fixed), rabies shots appropriate for their age, and dewormed twice.  The dogs are up to date on vaccinations according to their age at the time of adoption.  They are microchipped, heartworm tested and on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative.  ALL OF THIS IS INCLUDED IN THE ADOPTION FEE.
