Young · Female · Dachshund / Mixed (long coat) · 12 mi from Palm Springs North










1 year old 13 pound dachshund mix from Puerto Rico
Her perfect home would be one where she had someone who loves to get kisses and loves to scratch a belly.
Klara is a playful girl and would do well with another playful dog or someone who could play with her expend some energy.
She would love to be in a home where people are home most of the time. She is not a fan of being left alone, but is SO much better. She has discovered lick mats, doggie puzzles, has a safe crate of her own and settles herself down pretty quickly. We are very proud of the progress she has made.
Read more about Klara
Teaching her tricks will build her confidence and that helps her mature also (we are working on that now and it's very good for her).
Klara is a snuggly and sweet girl and we know that the right family is out there for her.
12. Memo
Senior · Male · Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Palm Springs North







10 year old 5.5 pound chihuahua
He has no teeth.
Memo came to us from Puerto Rico
He’s a snuggly boy who likes to be held like a baby
His lack of teeth doesn’t get in the way of his eating, he just needs soft food or soaked kibble.
He is good with all people.
He is good with other dogs, he does have some stereotypical Chihuahua traits, growls when other dogs come near his favorite bed for example, but he has no teeth and it’s just a little warning, nothing of concern.
He would be fine with other dogs or as an only dog.
He likes soft beds, head scratches, exploring outside and laying in the sun.
13. Maci
Adult · Female · Dachshund / Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Palm Springs North





10 year old brindle chiweenie
15 lbs
Happy healthy sweet girl
Loves chasing squirrels
Good with other dogs
Good with all people
Loves soft beds and treats
14. Elvis
Senior · Male · Dachshund (short coat) · 12 mi from Palm Springs North





11 year old male
13 pounds
Good with other dogs
Has a heart murmur that requires medication
He is doing well and did well under anesthesia for his dental.

15. Maple
Young · Female · Dachshund / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Palm Springs North






2 year old 28 pound standard dachshund mix.
Maple is a sweet and friendly girl.
She loves belly rubs and is good with people.
Maple is NOT good with other dogs.
She is fine being walked around other dogs, but will not be adopted to a home with another dog. She shouldn’t be allowed to meet other dogs on walks or go to dog parks. It is possible that as she gets farther away from when she was spayed and with some training that she could get better.
We know the right home is out there for her!
16. Wally
Senior · Male · Dachshund / Mixed (short coat) · 12 mi from Palm Springs North

Cuddly and sweet boy
Loves everyone
Good with other dogs
Darwin came to us paralyzed, we had him go to a neurologist and have surgery, but it did not restore his ability to walk. He has drag bags and a cart that will go with him. He gets around in the house just fine using his front legs.
For longer walks, he goes in his cart and would love a stroller.
He loves to be near his people.
He needs assistance to go potty, it is really easy and his foster can show his new family how.

He hopped right into a volunteer's car without hesitation, let them buckle him in, and handled his 50-minute road trip to the vet like an absolute champ.

Dino is a mature gentleman with lovely manners and the potential to be a fabulous lifelong companion. He deserves a home where he can finally enjoy the love, comfort, and stability he has been waiting for.

19. Hunter
Young (1 year 6 months) · Male · German Shepherd Dog · 14 mi from Palm Springs North





Another stray who appears to have been tossed out onto the streets of Miami, Hunter was so relieved to be found that he jumped right into his finder's car.
Hunter is a young dog, very puppy-like in both his energy and personality, although we believe he is around 1.5 years old. He's eager, affectionate, and has so much potential to become an incredible companion.
Because of his youthful enthusiasm, Hunter would do best in a home with a securely fenced yard and someone committed to continuing his training. With guidance, structure, and love, we know he will grow into the amazing dog he's meant to be.
Read more about Hunter
Hunter is currently located in boarding, but we would love to find him a local foster home where he can decompress, learn, and show everyone just how special he is.
If you're interested in fostering or adopting Hunter, please reach out. He deserves a second chance at the happy life he's been waiting for.

20. Lyssa
Young (2 years) · Female · German Shepherd Dog / Mixed · 14 mi from Palm Springs North





She was abandoned in a Miami parking lot that had a large population of stray cats, and she remained there for several weeks. Several local rescuers saw a Nextdoor post about her and stepped in to help. They were able to safely trap her that same night and reached out to us once she was secure — and of course we said yes.
We believe Lyssa is around 2 years old. She is a calm, gentle girl who rides well in the car. She doesn’t seem bothered by other dogs, though she has not been officially dog‑tested yet.
Read more about Lyssa
Lyssa is currently located at our vet in West Palm Beach and is in need of a foster — or even better, an adopter who can give her the stable, loving home she deserves.

Adopting a dog in Palm Springs North
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.
