Tina is still looking for her forever home! Could you be the one to bring this sweet girl into your family?

Tina is a sweet, gentle, and playful dog around 2 years old and weighing 11 pounds. She is a very shy, unique looking Dachshund, Pug, and Chihuahua mix who is in need of a forever home where she can feel safe and loved once again. Tina has had it rough, as it looks like she has suffered some abuse and was left outside Front Street Shelter parking lot when they were closed. She spent over a month in the shelter before being taken into Little Paws, but because of her experience she has been very wary of people. With patience and kindness however, she has begun to trust again and it has been wonderful to see her grow in confidence. Tina is a loyal and loving dog who just needs someone to give her a chance. She is active and would be a great companion for someone who can give her the attention and care she needs, helping her to trust again and providing her with a safe environment to thrive. She would benefit from a patient owner who can help build up her confidence and she will be the most loving, sweet and loyal dog in return. Despite her shyness, Tina has a wonderful playful side and loves to steal socks and shoes, (though she doesn't eat them)! She also loves toys and she hasn't met a toy she doesn't love!
She has the adorable, cute floppy ears, along with the long body and the tail of a dachshund with a curl in it, the head of a Chihuahua and the crunched face and wrinkles of a pug! Tina loves using the doggy door and is great with steps or ramps. She would benefit from dog training and obstacle course training as this would really help to boost her self-esteem. We can see her being great at agility in the future!

She is housebroken, p*e pad trained, crate trained, microchipped, vaccinated and spayed. She is good with other dogs but we are not sure about cats. Her adoption fee is $700. If you think you could be Tina's special person to give her the home she deserves, please go to our website and fill out an adoption questionnaire. Thank you.

Here's another great update on Arrow, now Apollo, about how he's settled into his new home since getting adopted!

Apollo was sadly found tied to an arrow fence, left along and hungry. He was brought into Little Paws Doggie Rescue and immediately needed a haircut. His fur was so long and matted that it was hard for him to see and he was terribly dirty. After he got cleaned up and recuperated, he was adopted into a wonderful new family. It was love at first sight and his new people shower him with love and attention, being the only dog in the house! His new Mom is a church minister, so Apollo goes to church and see all the people at the congregation which he loves. He even gets to watch the wild deer and turkeys from outside the window of the house, which keeps him busy when he's not socializing! He's adjusted brilliantly to his new home and we're so pleased that he's settled in and landed on his feet so well. Well done Apollo and family!

Remember sweet little Angelica? Here's a wonderful update from her family since getting adopted!

"It has been so fun getting to watch Angelica’s personality shine. She may be 12 years old but she acts like a puppy! Since we got her she has gotten to go on many road trips to the ocean and the mountains. Camping, paddle boarding, running on the beach and taking walks where she stops to smell every little thing. Whenever she is unsure of a new activity her sis Bella (8 yr old pit mix) is there to show her the ropes, and always looking out for her. When we first brought her home we gave Angelica her own bed, but she insisted on sharing Bella’s bed with her 😍 and they have slept together every night since.
Everyone remarks on how friendly she is, hopping on laps for cuddles and scratching at your leg for attention. She loves meeting new dog friends as well, she recently met our friends 17 year old def and blind dog Elvis (see pic) and she could not get enough of him 💕.
I always look forward to coming home where I know she will be at the door to greet me with a “gift”, typically a sock if she can find one but she will settle for a toy ☺️.
Angelica has been a great addition to our family and brought us so much joy, we can’t imagine it without her. I am so happy my husband and I decided to adopt a senior dog, we found the perfect match."

Stories like these are why we do what we do - to get as many dogs as we can into loving homes. It's great to see how well Angelica has adapted and how loved she is with her new family. We're so happy for you, Angelica!

Tina is now available for adoption!
Tina is a very, very shy Dachshund, Pug, Chihuahua mix (just guessing). There is no doubt she has suffered some abuse. The first day she wanted nothing to do with me, but she has warmed up to me. She will come up and lay her head on my leg and if I’m quiet and gentle, she will let me pet her. I have been letting her drag a small leash around with her and she now let me pick up the leash and gently walk her around a little bit and pick her up. Today was the first time she let me touch her paws. She is gonna need someone with a lot of patience, but they’re going to get a great, loving, gentle, loyal, sweet and very active little dog. She will need a quiet home where she can get used to life slowly. She loves honey nut Cheerios. She is a sock and shoe thief. She loves all kinds of toys. She has the adorable cute floppy ears, along with the long body and the tail of the dachshund, the head of a Chihuahua and the crunched face and wrinkles of a pug. Someone dropped her off at the Front Street shelter parking lot when they were closed. She sat there in the shelter for over a month in her terribly shy state. Tina weighs 16 pounds, housebroken, crate trained, microchipped, good with other dogs, cats to be determined, two years old, vaccinated, she has not been heartworm tested, will be spayed soon and her adoption fee will be $700. If interested, or you have questions please go to littlepawsdoggierescue.org and fill out an adoption questionnaire. Thank you.

Daboo is available for adoption!
Daboo is quite a talker. When he gets hungry, he lets you know. When he wants to go outside he let you know. He especially wants to let you know when he wants attention and scratching. He loves being scratched and loves to chase birds. He was surrendered by 95-year-old man suffering from Parkinson’s Disease who could no longer take care of him. Dabboo is a Panjabi name meaning spotted. He named him this because that was his childhood dogs’ name. I think he would be best as an only dog or with just one other dog because he wants all the attention and that’s how he’s had it for most of his life. I don’t think cats are a good idea either. He seems fine with people and just wants their attention. He is nine-year-old spaniel mix who is on a diet and should weigh about 22 pounds. He’s neutered, vaccinated, house trained, crate trained, heartworm negative, current on his vaccinations, microchipped and he just had his teeth cleaned. His adoption fee is $500. If interested, or you have questions please go to littlepawsdoggierescue.org and fill out an adoption questionnaire. Thank you.

Betty is available for adoption!
Betty is a cowgirl transplant from Texas. She is an adorably sweet, spry 12 yr. old senior Pug/Chihuahua mix who was rescued from front street animal shelter. She loves being a Dallas cheerleader as she dances around on her hind legs. She loves the great outdoors, but prefers being with you whether you’re inside or outside. She is a true little cuddle bug. She is spayed, housebroken, microchipped, crate trained, heartworm negative, current on her vaccinations and her adoption fee is $400. If interested or if you have any questions please go to www.littlepawsdoggierescue.org

Eddie is available for adoption!
Eddie decided to run for freedom on the Fourth of July and was rescued by a nice woman in a parking lot. His feet were covered in stickers and what appeared to be tar. His ears had fox tails down deep to his eardrums and he had multiple bald patches on his body. That didn’t stop him from being a very sweet little doggy. Eddie is a non shedding, young senior of 9 years. He’s pretty active and playful with other dogs. So far he seems to ignore cats. He’s an adorable little 12 lb. miniature poodle and possibly Maltese mix. He loves the great outdoors. He’s a good alert dog. He does not shed and he’s fine with being groomed. He’s neutered, housebroken, microchipped, current on his vaccinations, heartworm negative and his adoption fee is $500. If interested or if you have any questions please go to www.littlepawsdoggierescue.org
