Meet English, the Pup Who’s Properly Perfect in Every Way!

Looking for a dog who’s as refined as tea at high noon and as cuddly as a corgi in Buckingham Palace? Meet English, a 30-lb Beagle mix who’s here to charm you right out of your Union Jack socks. At just 1 year old, she’s already mastered the art of polite society—potty trained, great with other dogs, and an absolute gem with humans of all ages, kids included.

This little Lady Beaglington has a Ph.D. in Good Manners (she follows directions better than your GPS) and listens so intently you’d think she’s taking notes. She’s also delightfully cuddly, so if you’ve been missing out on a lap warmer during your Netflix binges or royal family documentaries, English has you covered.

Her Favorite Pastimes Include:
• Following you around like a loyal member of your royal entourage.
• Snuggling so sweetly you’ll think she deserves a knighthood.
• Greeting everyone like they’ve been invited to her tea party.

English is smart enough to star in a BBC special and sweet enough to be the Queen’s top cuddle advisor. So, what are you waiting for? Roll out the red carpet, put on the kettle, and adopt this perfect little British treasure before someone else snags her! Cheerio!

"Hello, my name is Lee, and I am a sweet puppy who is looking for a loving home. Im believed to be a Jack Russell Terrier mix so I should be on the small size under 25 lbs when I grow up. I was found alone as a stray in a country cemetery located in southeast Louisiana and ended up in a scary shelter and this nice rescue took one look at me and said they will help me find a loving home. I am a friendly and playful pup, and I love nothing more than spending time with my human friends. I enjoy chasing after my favorite toy and getting belly rubs. I am a good boy who is always eager to learn new things. I have received my first set of three vaccinations, am microchipped and will be neutered when I am 6 months old, all covered by the rescue. If you are looking for a sweet and loyal companion, I am the perfect boy for you! . I can't wait to meet you and start our new adventure together!

Gizmo has the most endearing puppy eyes and heartwarming snuggles. He's guessed to be just over one year old and is 40 pounds of cuddle bug perfection. He’s had a hard life and was just barely saved from the euthanasia list, yet he still looks at humans with the desire to please and be loved. He's playful and affectionate with both dogs and humans alike and is a 10/10 velcro dog! He’s cat indifferent, child friendly and absolutely loves dogs. He'd really enjoy having another playful dog to curl up with in his forever home — bonus points if it's his foster sister Missy, who is also available for adoption. They quickly became besties in his foster home!

Gizmo's happy and easy going nature suggests all great things! Gizmo is potty trained and sleeps quietly in his crate all night. He is heartworm positive although he shows no symptoms and his treatment will be covered by the rescue. Gizmo is ready to bring a lifetime of love and joy to a lucky family!

Meet Bubbles, the world’s tiniest cuddle monster!

When it's time to play, watch out! This puppy’s zoomies can rival any Olympic sprinter. Bonus points if you have squeaky toys—those are the secret to unlocking Bubbles’ heart.

Meet Paulie B: The Cuddle Don of Your Heart

Picture this: a 37-pound Carolina Dog/Yellow Lab mix lounging on your couch, giving you a look that says, “Fuggedaboutit, I’m staying right here.” That’s Paulie B, your calm, cuddly, low-energy wise guy who’s ready to run the snuggle game in your house.

Don’t let his name fool you—Paulie B’s not about causing trouble (unless stealing your heart counts). He’s dog-friendly, cat-friendly, and people-friendly—basically the guy everyone invites to the party because he’s the chillest one there. Think “The Godfather,” but instead of running a crime family, he’s running a cuddle cartel.

Paulie’s idea of excitement is following you around like your shadow, making sure you don’t forget his favorite thing: snuggling. He’s less “zoomies” and more “roomies,” and he’ll happily claim your lap as his throne. Got other pets? No problem. Paulie’s diplomatic skills rival a U.N. ambassador’s—everyone loves this guy.

So, if you’re ready to share your life with a pup who’ll make you laugh, melt your heart, and maybe negotiate an extra treat now and then, Paulie B is ready to make you an offer you can’t refuse.

Meet Sarabi – Queen of Second Chances!

Much like her namesake from The Lion King, Sarabi has faced some rough days. Before her rescue, she was stuck outside with her collar zip-tied to a trailer, ruling over… well, not much. But fear not—the circle of life has turned in her favor! Sarabi finished raising her adorable litter (all adopted, because obviously her cubs are stars), and now it’s her turn to find her kingdom.

Sarabi can be a bit cautious with new people at first—think “Is this Scar, or are you cool?” vibes—but once she warms up, she’s all in. At around 1.5-2 years old and a perfect 40 lbs, this majestic lady would thrive as either a solo ruler or with another dog of similar size to co-lead her pride. She loves walks, car rides, and can sniff out snacks like she’s Rafiki hunting for wisdom. Oh, and did we mention she’s potty trained? Hakuna matata, indeed!

Sarabi is up to date on vaccines and will be spayed after finishing the first phase of her heartworm treatment, which is fully covered by the rescue. She’d do best in a home with adults or older kids—because let’s be real, even queens need a little peace and quiet.

This royal girl is ready to leave the past behind and start her next chapter with a loving family. Will you be the Simba to her Sarabi?

THERE’S DEFINITELY SOMETHING ABOUT MARY!

Is it those deep, soulful eyes that seem to say, “You’re the best person I’ve ever met, even though you just gave me a cracker”? Or is it the way she wags her tail with the enthusiasm of someone finding out pizza delivery is 5 minutes early? Maybe it’s how she stares at you like you’re a wizard every time you feed her or open her kennel door, like “Wow, you did that… for me?”

This girl’s story is Oscar-worthy: she raised her puppies like a hero, but nobody even knew she had a name—until recently. Months ago, she had never felt the sweet joy of an ear rub, but now? She’s hooked on love and nose boops. All Mary really wants is to nap at your feet, enjoy a slow stroll where she can sniff literally everything, and melt into her favorite bed after a big day of doing… nothing much.

This 62-pound heartthrob is house trained, leash trained, and very calm—the definition of low-maintenance. Cats? Eh, jury’s still out. Dogs? After a proper meet-and-greet, she’s all in—but at the end of the day, she’ll always pick your feet over anything else.

She’s also a sucker for serenades. Got a little “Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary” in your repertoire? Sing it, and she’ll look at you like you just won a Grammy.

Mary’s around two years old, a sweet Pitbull mix, and fresh off heartworm treatment and spay surgery. Basically, she’s healthy, happy, and ready to be the leading lady in your life.

There’s just… something about Mary. Adopt her, and you’ll understand.

Howdy, partners! I’m Cowgirl, and I’m ready to ride into your heart! ?

At 1 year old and 42 lbs of pure yeehaw energy, I’m a lab, hound and pittie mix with a heart as big as the Texas sky. Whether you’ve got snacks, squeaky toys, or just a good belly rub, I’m ready to saddle up and make every day feel like a hoedown!

Now, let me tell you—life is all about wrangling new skills, and I’m hot on the trail to becoming a potty-trained pro. Foster Mom says I’m getting real good at doing my business outside, and you best believe I’ve got my leash-walk swagger down. I reckon with a bit more practice, I’ll be the sheriff of strolls in no time!

I used to think nibbling was the cowboy way, but Foster Mom taught me otherwise, and now I’ve hung up my chompers. Instead, I’ve become a connoisseur of all things chewy—but only the right things, I promise! Chew toys? A-MAZING. Snacks? YES, MA’AM. Honestly, snacks are my love language.

I love my little kennel (it’s like my own bunkhouse), and I do my darndest to keep it tidy. Foster Mom says it’s time for me to find my forever homestead—her biggest dream is for me to have a family of my very own. And folks, I’m ready to giddy up and make that dream come true!

If you’re looking for a fun-lovin’, snack-chasin’, cuddle-wranglin’ pup to join your posse, I’m your gal. Let’s ride off into the sunset together and make some paw-some memories! Yeehaw!

Sweeten Up Your Life with Candy!

Hershey, y’all! I’m Candy, a 1 year old, 42-lb lab-and-pittie mix with a personality as sweet as a jellybean and energy like a sugar rush. If you’ve been looking for a treat that never melts and only gets better with time, I’m your girl!

I’ve been perfecting the art of outdoor potty breaks (Foster Mom says I’m so close to being a potty pro—just like unwrapping a perfect lollipop without tearing the wrapper). Walking on a leash? I’m getting better every day, and soon I’ll strut through the neighborhood like I’m on parade, tossing metaphorical candy to everyone I meet.

Now, listen—like any candy lover, I used to nibble on things I shouldn’t (oops!). But Foster Mom laid down the rules, and I’ve kicked that bad habit faster than a kid swapping out black licorice on Halloween. Now I stick to chew toys, which are basically my version of an all-you-can-chew candy buffet.

I adore my kennel—it’s like my own candy jar where I feel cozy and safe. I keep it clean because, you know, presentation matters (even to a candy dog!). Snacks? Ohhh, they’re my kryptonite. Seriously, I’ll do just about anything for a treat. Peanut butter? Yes. Cheese? DOUBLE YES. My love for snacks is unmatched.

Foster Mom says it’s time for me to find my forever home—her dream is for me to finally settle down with a family that’ll love me as much as I love treats. If you’ve got kiddos (the respectful kind who know not to shake the candy jar), I’d fit right in. And I’m friendly with other dogs, too, so long as we can share the fun!

So, what do you say? If you’re ready for a lifetime supply of sweetness, adopt me! I promise to bring joy, laughter, and just the right amount of playful chaos to your life. Let’s make every day feel like Halloween!

Hi there! I'm Pixie Pineapple Rose, a sweet, friendly and playful goofball. The shelter guessed my age at 2 but I am probably closer to 1, based on my teeth and my puppy behavior. I am a petite Blue Nosed Staffordshire Terrier weighing only 42 lbs but still filling out a little. I was found as a stray and spent 2 months in a high kill shelter in rural Louisiana waiting for someone to claim me and they never came so I ended up on the euthanasia list. Luckily for me Take Paws Rescue saw my story and found a foster to save me and are now helping me find a new home of my own. I have a LOT of energy, I love to play and I get the best zoomies. I am also really smart! I really impressed my foster Dad with how quickly I learned "sit" and "wait" and with how nicely I walk on leash when I have my harness on! I like to say hello to all of the people we pass on our walks and I can tell they like it, too. I also love to snuggle and give hugs. I play nicely with other dogs but my older foster sisters have been suggesting I take it down a notch so I am working on that but I think I would like a home with a fenced yard so I can run around and get my energy out! When I am done running around I would like to sit in your lap and chill while you pet me if that's ok. I am spayed, heartworm negative, up to date with routine vaccinations and ready to come home with you so please fill out the application right away!

This dog is ready for her forever home!

Hello, I'm Paisley! I’m a 2 year old Carolina/Shepherd mix who weighs 35 lbs. I spent 2 months in a shelter in rural Louisiana and was saved on the brink of euthanasia by this nice rescue who promised to find me a home of my own. Now I’m enjoying the game of life and I'm always ready to play. I've got energy to spare and a playful spirit that keeps me curious about the world around me. I'm a bit of a goofball, but that's part of my charm. I'm also smart and friendly, always eager to meet new friends. I'm learning to walk on a leash and working on getting the hang of potty training and my foster is teaching me not to jump on people when I get excited and I’m catching on quickly! I do have a little separation anxiety, but with some patience and love, I know I can overcome it. I promise to bring joy, laughter, and a whole lot of love to your life. I will come UTD on my vaccinations, spayed and microchipped. I'm ready to find my forever home where I can share all the love I have to give. Will you be my new family?
