Story
Meet the cutest little guy around! He is a compact ball of love and we call him our "Walmart Greeter". Carson's person died a couple of years ago and he is needing a new home. Carson is a happy little guy who loves everyone and gets along great with other dogs. Carson is playful, housebroken, snuggly, likes to play with toys and would love a family to call his own again. This little guy is part Shih Tzu part.... Bassett?? A short, stocky little man for sure. Don't let those little legs fool you though, he likes to run and play with the big dogs. Carson is housebroken, so the hard work is done for you! He is an adult with a lot of life left! Let him snuggle up to you and you can heal his little heart. If you'd like to adopt Carson, please fill out our online application at www.goofyfootrescue.org Carson is in foster care in West TN and will be transported once his adoption is finalized.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Oh hello, I’m Alex.  I am just a quiet little guy who is pretty easy going.  I like playing with my humans more than other pups but don’t get me wrong. I do enjoy the company of other dogs, just don’t expect me to be an interactive play buddy with them. I am visually impaired. So having a companion pup is really helpful. So, if you have a chill little buddy in your home, I would probably be a perfect fit.  I will cuddle with you too.  I’ll be turning 10 this year but ya know, small dogs like me still have a lot of love to give.  Won’t you give this handsome boy a chance? Your pup might need me as much as I need him/her.  I am neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped.  I also recently had a dental cleaning so I am ready for the taking!!  Apply today.  ALEX   Kennel License #18167  When applying to adopt through ODAAT, please know that we take pride in placing our animals appropriately based on their needs and personalities. We want the best family for them and the perfect fit for your family. This process takes time and we do not adopt out on a "first come first served" basis.
