Mitzi is a sweet and adorable senior Yorkie that we recently pulled from a local county shelter. As you can see, her mouth was in bad shape but luckily we were able to quickly get her in for a dental. Mitzi’s teeth look so much better and we know our girl is feeling much better now. She had had 10 teeth extracted, bloodwork done, and x-rays which is extremely costly! She has also been spayed, had a heartworm test, and received her vaccines. We have taken in several dogs recently who have needed extra medical care, which means extra $$$$. We rely on donations from our amazing community to be able to continue saving lives.

Mitzi’s vet bill was just shy of $1,000. Can you help us reach our goal to cover the cost of her medical expenses? 🩺💗🐾

🎀 HATTIE 🎀

Hattie is an adorable 5 pounds of fluff! She is 12 weeks old and we were told she is a Pekingese & Miniature Poodle mix, also known as a “Peekapoo”.

Hattie is sweet as can be! She is so loving and enjoys being the center of attention. She is very spoiled and will bark and jump up for you to pet her, pick her up, or play with her if she feels you are not showing her enough attention. She has that typical playful puppy energy and loves toys. As with any puppy, she is teething and loves to chew on her puppy teething toys! When she is ready for some downtime she enjoys curling up in her foster mom’s lap or snuggling with her toys in her puppy playpen.

If you’re looking for an adorable little girl to make the center of your world, Hattie may be the perfect puppy for you! 💗

Meet Finnegan! He is a 38-pound Beagle mix who is about 2 years old. We have nicknamed him “Finny.” 🥰

Finnegan is very affectionate and loving. He may be a medium-sized dog, but in his mind he is a 5-pound lap dog! He loves to cuddle up on the couch with his person and get as close as he can.

Finnegan is very social and would do well with an active family who would enjoy taking him out and about with them! He is funny, goofy, and always keeping his foster mom smiling.

Finnegan is house-trained and crate-trained. He is very smart, learns quickly, and listens well! He would make the perfect addition to any home looking to add a sweet and loving guy to the family.

🖤 TIMMY 🖤

Meet Timmy! He is a senior Chihuahua with a big personality.

Timmy is a funny guy, he is always making his foster mom laugh. He loves to sit up on his butt and wave his front legs to beg for food! We joke and say that he looks like a meerkat, which is how he got his name — Timon (from The Lion King). We’ve nicknamed him Timmy!

Timmy loves food but LOVES his bed even more. He is crate-trained and loves to lie in a bed inside his crate so that he can control the number of dogs trying to get in it! 😂

If you are looking for a sweet (with a little spice), mature dog to keep you laughing and very much entertained — Timmy might be the perfect fit for you!

She is quite playful and fetching a ball is her one of her favorite things to do. 🎾🐕
She gets along just fine with her foster siblings, but is more interested in her person than any other dogs. 🫶
She loves to sleep in bed under the blanket with her foster mom and would love a home that would allow her to sleep in their bed also. 🛌🐕

He likes toys and LOVES treats. He is always curious as to what his foster mom is up to and likes to follow her every move around the house to find out!

If you’re looking to add a sweet, squishy face to your family, this little guy is sure to steal your heart. ❤️

🐩🐕 LOUIE 🐕🐩

Louie is a sweet and fun little pup! He is 11 weeks old and currently weighs a little over 6 pounds. He came to Tiny Paws when his previous family decided that they were just not ready for a puppy yet. We were told that he is a Chihuahua/Poodle mix.

Louie is full of energy and loves to follow his person around the house and yard. He also enjoys playing with his foster siblings (both human and doggy) and when he is done playing, he enjoys relaxing in his fluffy bed or in his human’s lap.

If you’re looking to add an adorable and fun new puppy to your family, Louie might just be the perfect one for you!

💙 WICHO 💙

Meet Wicho! He is just over a year old and weighs 8 pounds. We were told he is a Papillon mix. He is absolutely adorable and has totally stolen his foster mom’s heart. 💖

He sleeps in bed with his foster mom and would love a new home that would allow him to do the same. He can be a little shy and insecure sometimes so he may benefit from having a more confident dog as a sibling to show him the ropes! Can you provide this adorable little boy with the loving forever home he deserves?

💜 SOPHIE 💜

Sophie is a 5-pound Chihuahua who we believe to be around 10 years of age. She came to us full of mammary tumors which have since been removed and, thankfully, were benign. So many people seem to be unaware of the risks associated with not spaying their dog.

Sophie can be a little temperamental, but after she warms up to her new person she is truly such a good little girl. She opens up and is very sweet once you have gained her trust. Sophie is a quiet and low key girl. She would be the perfect addition to any home looking for a low-energy dog. Sophie does enjoy going on walks! She can do long walks, but is also happy to just spin the block. She is even warming up to neighbors in his foster home and allowing them to pet her now.

Sophie is housetrained but her foster mom does crate her when she is away from the home. Sophie wants to be near you when you are home, but isn’t demanding and doesn’t bark in the house. She has a very mellow personality and isn’t playful with her foster brother, much to his chagrin.

She would love to chase squirrels if she had a fully fenced yard! It will take her a bit to warm up but, once she does, she will be your sweet and loving girl.

We are sorry for the delay in updating you all about Tater Tot. We’ve been busy taking care of our girl and making sure she is comfortable. She is done with her surgery and recovering well, thanks to the amazing vets at Auburn University!

If you missed our previous update, we received a call Tuesday night that Auburn had an opening Wednesday morning and they wanted to us to bring Tater Tot. Of course we jumped into action and were there first thing Wednesday morning. Tater Tot was examined and it was confirmed once again that she would require surgery to correct her life-threatening heart defect. Tater Tot spent the night with the amazing staff at Auburn Wednesday night and had her surgery Thursday morning. They were able to correct her PDA with a minimally invasive surgery. She is back home in Atlanta with her foster mom and recovering well!

Thank you for all of the support for this sweet little girl. 💖🐾 We are still accepting donations to cover the cost of her surgery. We have not yet received our final bill from Auburn, but we are attaching the estimate (photo in comments) received at her visit after she had her physical examination and echocardiogram. The first estimate was given over the phone and we have now adjusted our goal to reflect the lower amount of the new estimate. You can still help! Here are all the ways to donate:

🐾 Calling Auburn directly at 334-844-4690, then press 4 and let them know you would like to make a donation towards Tater Tot with Tiny Paws Rescue.

🐾 NOW ACCEPTING APPLICATIONS 🐾

These babies came to us over a week ago when a Tiny Paws volunteer helped get them out of a neglectful situation. At barely six weeks old, they were being given away “first come, first served” on a page in a rural area, with the owner threatening to drop them off in a box at a pet store if they didn’t find homes soon enough. They were covered in urine, fleas, and full of worms. They had received no vet care before coming to Tiny Paws. Thankfully, our volunteer was able to make the drive to save these babies and get them back to Atlanta where they are safe and well-cared for.

They are now happy and healthy pups that are ready to begin the search for their forever homes. Memphis, Aspen, Dallas, and Boston will be ready to go to their forever homes on July 20.

💎 BIJOU 💎

Bijou is a sweet little Poodle mix. He is about 2-3 years old and weighs 10 pounds. Bijou is extremely shy upon meeting new people, but is very sweet and affectionate to his foster mom. He is so excited to see her that he gets the “tippy tappies” and that has become his nickname. We have no doubt he will warm up and thrive in his perfect forever home.

He gets along well with his foster siblings and we would love to see him in a home with a confident dog that can help show him the ropes! He would do best in a home with a fenced yard.

Earlier this week we introduced Tater Tot and her siblings, French Fry and Sweet Potato. They were seen by our vets again yesterday and unfortunately it was confirmed that she has a life-threatening heart defect. She has what is called a Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA). Basically part of the blood vessels around her heart did not close properly after she was born which will require specialty surgery to correct.

We are hoping to gather funds for her life-saving surgery. We have been quoted $4,500-$5,500. After surgery, her prognosis is to live a happy, healthy life. We really want this baby to have the best life after her poor start.

It’s because of people like you that we can save dogs like Tater Tot. We can save Tater Tot with your help! If you cannot donate, PLEASE SHARE her post and send good thoughts her way. 🙏

She is a sweet girl and overall extremely well behaved!

Maka can be a little shy when meeting new people, but warms up quickly! She would prefer a quiet and calm house because she can get a bit nervous around too much activity. Can you provide Maka with the loving home that she deserves? 🏡
