Adult · Male · Lhasa Apso / Shih Tzu (short coat) · 10 mi from Westminster

Meet Oscar: a 5-year-old, 22-pound sweetheart with a big, happy smile and an even bigger personality.
When Oscar first came into foster care, he was the dog watching quietly from the corner, unsure whether people could be trusted. Four months later, he’s blossoming. He’s discovered a love of toys, so much so that he gathers all his favorites into one big pile. He plays fetch with enthusiasm and has a blast romping with other small dogs at the dog park. He’s even starting to enjoy walks, though he’s still getting the hang of them. And when it’s time to rest, you’ll find him burrowed deep in a blanket for a cozy nap.
Oscar is a one-person kind of dog.

Read more about Oscar

That’s not because he’s unfriendly, as he doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body, but because he looks to one special person for guidance and affection. Right now that’s his foster mom, who gets all the belly-rub requests. He’s shy with new people and probably won’t show his true self at a first meeting, but the way to his heart is simple: bring treats! He’ll happily take them from new friends, and he’s so food motivated that he’s a joy to train. Once he decides you’re his person, you’ll have a loyal, affectionate companion for life.
At heart, Oscar is a homebody. He’d do best in a calm, adult-only home with a yard, ideally with a friendly small dog who can keep showing him the ropes. He’s fully potty trained with zero accidents in the house, sleeps quietly in his dog bed in the bedroom, rarely barks, and is very healthy. He doesn’t guard his food or toys. Car rides make him a little nervous, but he does great once he arrives. He hasn’t lived with cats, but his foster thinks he’d likely do fine with them.
If you’re looking for a devoted sidekick with a smile that will melt your heart, Oscar is ready to meet you.

Senior (6 years 11 months) · Female · Dachshund / Terrier / Mixed (short coat) · 23 mi from Westminster

Meet Sombra! ❤️

A Lovely Little Dachshund Terrier Mix Ready for Her Next Chapter!

Breed: Dachshund Terrier Mix
Gender: Female DOB: 10/30/2019
Age: 7 Years
Weight: 16 lbs
Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown
Medical: Spay and Vaccination Status Not Confirmed
Personality: Individual Temperament Still Being Evaluated

❤️ Personality & Breed Information

Meet Sombra, a beautiful 7-year-old Dachshund Terrier mix weighing just 16 pounds! This lovely little lady is searching for a forever family who will give her the comfort, companionship, and stability she deserves.

Read more about Sombra

At seven years old, Sombra has moved beyond the demanding puppy stages, making her a wonderful candidate for someone interested in adopting an adult dog. Her individual personality is still being evaluated, but she has the opportunity to build a loving bond with a family who will give her time to settle in.

About the Dachshund Terrier Mix

Dachshunds and Terriers are known for their intelligence, determination, loyalty, and curious personalities. Originally bred as working dogs, both breeds can have strong instincts to explore, investigate interesting scents, and engage with their surroundings.

As a Dachshund Terrier mix, Sombra may display some of these characteristics:

Loyal and Affectionate: Many develop strong attachments to their families.

Intelligent and Curious: They often enjoy exploring, scent games, and interactive activities.

Independent: Their determined personalities benefit from patient, consistent guidance.

Playful: Even mature adults may enjoy toys, games, and daily adventures.

Alert: They can be observant and attentive to their surroundings.

Because Sombra is a mixed breed, her individual temperament and energy level may vary from these general characteristics.

At 16 pounds, Sombra is a manageable size for many households. Her ideal home will provide appropriate exercise, companionship, and a comfortable environment where she can feel secure.

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

Although Sombra is seven years old, adopters should not assume she is fully house-trained or familiar with household routines. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best.

Her future family should be prepared to reinforce house training, leash manners, basic commands, and appropriate household behavior using positive reinforcement.

Dachshund Terrier mixes often benefit from daily walks, scent-based activities, and mental enrichment. Exercise should be adjusted to Sombra's individual energy level and physical condition.

Sombra is considered suitable for homes with dogs and children, with proper introductions and supervision. Her compatibility with cats is unknown.

Understanding the 3-3-3 Rule

Every rescue dog needs time to adjust:

3 Days: Decompress and begin feeling safe.

3 Weeks: Learn household routines and build confidence.

3 Months: Develop trust and become more comfortable in the family.

These are guidelines, not deadlines. Patience, consistency, and a predictable routine will help Sombra settle into her new home.

Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care

Sombra's current spay and vaccination status have not been confirmed. Her adopter should review her medical records and arrange any necessary follow-up care.

Dachshund Terrier Health Considerations

Because of her breed mix and age, Sombra's future family should be aware of several potential health considerations:

Back and Spinal Health: Dachshunds are predisposed to intervertebral disc disease (IVDD). If Sombra has inherited a longer back, limiting repetitive jumping and maintaining a healthy weight may help protect her spine.

Joint Health: Smaller dogs may develop kneecap instability or age-related joint discomfort.

Dental Care: Regular tooth brushing and veterinary dental examinations are important.

Weight Management: Maintaining a healthy body condition supports mobility and overall health.

Age-Appropriate Care: As Sombra gets older, regular wellness examinations can help

Terriers are known for their intelligence, lively personalities, curiosity, and determination. Originally developed for various working purposes, many Terriers are energetic little dogs who enjoy exploring, playing, and spending time with their families.

As a Terrier mix, Estella may inherit characteristics such as:

Intelligence: Terriers are often quick learners who enjoy mental challenges and interactive activities.

Playfulness: Many enjoy games, toys, and opportunities to explore.

Affection: Terriers can develop strong bonds with their families and enjoy companionship.

Confidence: Their spirited nature can make them entertaining and engaging companions.

Independence: Some Terriers have a determined personality and benefit from consistent, patient training.

Curiosity: They may enjoy investigating new sights, sounds, and smells.

Because Estella is a mixed breed, her temperament, appearance, adult size, and energy level may vary from these general breed characteristics.

Estella's Ideal Home

Estella would be a wonderful addition to a family prepared for the joys and responsibilities of raising a young puppy.

Her ideal home will provide a safe environment, plenty of companionship, appropriate exercise, and consistent guidance as she grows.

She is considered suitable for homes with other dogs and children, provided introductions are handled carefully and interactions are supervised. Her compatibility with cats has not yet been established.

Because Estella is currently very small, young children should be taught to handle her gently, and playtime with larger dogs should always be supervised.

Estella doesn't need a perfect family. She needs a patient, committed family who will love her through every stage of life.

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

At just three months old, Estella is beginning to learn the skills she will need throughout her life.

Puppies are not born knowing household rules, and rescue puppies may arrive with little or no formal training. Her future family should be prepared to teach her through positive reinforcement, patience, and consistency.

Essential Puppy Training

House Training: Establish a regular bathroom schedule, offer frequent potty breaks, and reward successful habits.

Crate Training: Introduce a comfortable, secure resting space using positive experiences.

Basic Commands: Begin teaching sit, come, stay, and leave it through short, engaging training sessions.

Leash Training: Help Estella become comfortable wearing a properly fitted harness and walking safely.

Bite Inhibition: Redirect normal puppy mouthing and nipping toward appropriate toys.

Socialization: Introduce her gradually to peop

Meet Tancho, an adorable 6-year-old Pug with a tender heart, an affectionate personality, and just a little bit of attitude that makes him uniquely lovable!

Tancho is a very sweet, loving, and affectionate boy who enjoys companionship and has so much love to share with his future family. At six years old, he's a mature adult who is ready to enjoy the comforts of a forever home where he can feel safe, appreciated, and cherished.

One of the wonderful things about Tancho is that he has experience living with other dogs, cats, and children. This makes him a promising companion for a variety of households, provided his individual needs and boundaries are respected.

However, Tancho also has a spirited side! While he can live with other dogs, he can occasionally become feisty or confrontational toward larger breeds. His future family should understand this behavior and be prepared to manage interactions carefully.

This doesn't take away from his loving personality. It simply means Tancho needs a family who will recognize his boundaries, supervise introductions, and help him feel comfortable around other dogs.

About the Pug Breed

Pugs are known for their affectionate personalities, charming expressions, loyalty, playful nature, and strong attachment to their families.

Originally bred as companion dogs, Pugs often enjoy spending time close to their people and being included in everyday family activities.

Tancho may share several typical breed characteristics:

Affectionate and devoted: Pugs often form strong bonds with their families and enjoy regular attention.

Friendly and social: Many enjoy interacting with people and participating in household activities.

Playful and entertaining: Pugs are known for their amusing personalities and individual quirks.

Adaptable: They can thrive in apartments or houses when their needs are met.

Occasionally stubborn: Some Pugs have independent personalities and benefit from patient, consistent training.

Moderate exercise needs: Short walks and gentle playtime are generally more appropriate than strenuous activity.

Sensitive to heat: Their shortened muzzles make them especially vulnerable to overheating.

Tancho's combination of affection, maturity, and spirited personality makes him a special little companion.

His ideal family will appreciate his loving nature while understanding that he may need additional guidance and supervision around larger dogs.

Tancho has a gentle heart, a loving spirit, and just enough sass to keep life interesting!

Training, Adjustment & What to Expect

At six years old, Tancho is a mature adult who will benefit from a predictable routine, positive reinforcement training, and a peaceful home environment.

Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on house training if needed, leash manners, basic obedience, calm greetings, household boundaries, and appropriate socialization.

Although Tancho is described as affectionate and loving, his occasional confrontational behavior toward larger dogs is an important consideration for his future family.

Living With Other Dogs

Tancho has experience living with other dogs, but he can sometimes become bravucón—feisty, challenging, or confrontational—when interacting with larger breeds.

This behavior does not necessarily mean he cannot live with another dog. However, it does mean his future family should take int

Adopting a dog in Westminster

Most rescues ask you to fill in an application, meet the dog, and pay an adoption fee that usually covers spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a microchip. Many are foster-based, so you'll often meet your dog in a volunteer's home rather than a shelter.

Senior dogs are often the calmest companions and the slowest to find homes. If you'd like a settled, affectionate dog, ask the rescues about their older residents.

Puppies go quickly, so if you've fallen for one, contact the rescue soon. Ask how big they're expected to grow, and plan for plenty of house-training and training in the first few months.
