ADOPTION DONATION: $425

To help pay for vet bills and care (transportation, food, toys, etc..) a $450 donation is requested at the time of adoption. All of our adoptions are contingent upon an approved application, home visit, reference check, obedience training agreement, and signing of adoption contract. All our dogs are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption. Our dogs are companion animals that live indoors as part of your family. Please do not apply if your plan is to have them as outside dogs, garage dogs, porch dogs or outside kennel dogs. We do not ship dogs.

Beezus had surgery on both knees before she turned a year old to correct luxating patellas, which made walking difficult. Thankfully, she's healed up beautifully and can run and play like any other pup! She'd love another friendly dog to play with, a cat to share her space with, or she'd be perfectly happy as your one and only, as long as you're willing to provide the snuggles.

She's housebroken, crate trained, walks well on a leash, and is well behaved when left to roam the house. The perfect dog! She sleeps quietly through the night with her people, too. Beezus does have some seasonal allergies that have been well managed with Cytopoint injections as needed, typically during late summer and fall.

Beezus is the whole package! Sweet, playful, friendly, well behaved, and ready to be someone's favorite cuddle buddy. She's spayed, fully vetted and vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for her forever home! Her adoption donation fee is $375.

If you’re looking for an awesome little companion, Beezus is ready to meet you! Please apply directly in the dropdown menu on our website at

Younger kiddos aren’t on her guest list, so she’d preferably have a home without little ones. A girl this small is allowed to have a few big opinions!She’ll also need secure fencing with no little escape routes—wrought iron bars, small holes, and loose spots can all become Chihuahua-sized doorways! Her yard needs to keep her adventures safely contained.Willow arrived with a little extra cushion, so she’s looking for someone to join her on her “less pudge, more pep” journey. Regular walks and a nutritious diet with sensible portions will help her reach a healthy weight and feel her best. She’ll bring the charm; you bring the leash and measuring scoop! The suggested adoption fee for Willow is $585. Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ Inc. is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated.

She walks great on a leash, too—your tiny walking buddy is ready for her next outing! When it comes to children, she prefers the middle-school-and-up crowd, so a home without younger kiddos would be her preference. Small girl, selective guest list!Maple will need secure fencing because her petite size makes ordinary gaps look like open invitations. Wrought iron bars, small holes, and loose spots can become exits for a determined little explorer, so her yard needs to keep her adventures safely on the right side of the fence.She also arrived carrying a little extra sweetness around the middle and is working toward a healthy weight. She’s looking for someone committed to regular walks and a nutritious diet with sensible portions to help her feel her best. With those lovely leash manners, she’s already doing her part—she just needs a partner for her “more strolls, fewer snacks” era! The suggested adoption fee for Maple is $585.

Of course, don’t mistake that love of cuddles for a lack of puppy shenanigans. Ozzy is still a baby, after all, and we’re sure there are plenty of goofy antics, curious explorations, and entertaining little adventures ahead!Ozzy came into rescue with his brother, Ollie, and he’s already off to a great start. He’s doing well with potty training, which is something worth celebrating for such a young pup! He’s showing us that even the tiniest members of the family can make some pretty impressive progress.He’s also working on crate training, learning household routines, building good habits, and mastering all those important puppy life skills. He’s got a lot to learn, but with patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and plenty of encouragement, we’re excited to watch this little guy continue to grow and thrive.And when all that learning and exploring is done? We have a feeling Ozzy will be more than happy to clock out for the day and curl up beside his favorite human. Because while he’s absolutely here for the puppy adventures, he’s also very much here for the cuddles.Ozzy is brand-new to rescue, so we’re still getting to know all the little quirks, funny habits, and sweet details that make him uniquely Ozzy. We’ll keep updating his bio as his personality unfolds, but so far, we know he’s a tiny sweetheart who’s off to a wonderful start.If your arms have been feeling a little too empty, your couch could use a permanent snuggle companion, and your heart has room for a whole lot of puppy love, Ozzy would like to be considered for the position.The job comes with tiny paws, unlimited sweetness, and a strong likelihood that your personal space will soon become a thing of the past. The suggested adoption fee for Ozzy is $715. Bullies-N-Beyond ResQ Inc. is a 501(c)3, non-profit corporation that is 100% volunteer operated.

Ollie came into rescue with his brother, Ozzy, but he’s already showing us that he’s a clever little guy with a personality all his own. Exhibit A? He’s already doing great with potty training! Somebody give this kid a gold star (and maybe a cookie, because we’re pretty sure he’d appreciate that).He’s also working on crate training and all those other important puppy life skills. He’s just getting started, but we’re expecting big things from this bright little dude. With consistency, patience, positive reinforcement, and plenty of opportunities to burn off that puppy energy, we think Ollie is going to keep impressing us!Ollie is still brand-new to rescue, so we’re getting to know all the little quirks, goofy habits, and lovable details that make him Ollie. We’ll keep updating his bio as his brilliant little personality unfolds, but one thing is already clear: this boy is off to a fantastic start!If you’re ready for puppy antics, treat-powered training sessions, and a whole lot of love in a small package, Ollie might just be your guy. Stay tuned as this little superstar grows, learns, and steals hearts one adorable moment at a time! The suggested adoption fee for Ollie is $715.

Hi! I'm Becky! I am playful around the right people, my foster mom is not sure how I pick and chooses them, I love some people and doesn't like others. I do very well with the foster puppy and tolerate him being a puppy and being in my face. We play pretty hard in the morning together, running through the house. My foster mom believes I would do well with other small dogs but she barks heavily at the neighbor's black lab. I am doing much better with hard kibble and I have a good appetite not that all my nasty teeth were pulled and my mouth has healed. I'm not interested with toys, but would rather just be with my people. I am a complete velcro dog. We went to the outdoor campus yesterday and me and the puppy both did well on their leashes. I do require a physically fenced yard as I don't know recall commands and don't listen, I looooove to run.I do well in my kennel at night but still has accidents overnight, so I have her wear a diaper. I am protective and bark at anyone coming through the front door, other than my foster mom. I am a couch potato at night and loves to sit on the couch with my foster family. I am also a bit of a licker. I do know my name and I hear much better now that my ear infection is cleared up.

I’m a loving, easygoing senior boy who does well with other small dogs, but big dogs aren’t really my cup of kibble. I prefer my canine friends on the smaller side.

My hearing isn’t what it used to be, so I may have either selective hearing or senior ears. But I can still hear clapping hands and whistles! When my foster mom claps her hands, I come trotting back to the house and I make eye contact with her.

I am absolutely LOVING my foster mom’s big fenced backyard! There are birds, rabbits, and squirrels to watch and hunt, and I take my backyard security duties very seriously.

Because of my age and hearing, I need a securely physically fenced yard to keep me safe. No invisible fences, please.

My wishlist is pretty simple:
A soft, comfy dog bed
Good food
Lots of love
A safe, secure home
A family who understands that senior dogs have so much love left to give

I may be 14, but I still have plenty of life, love, and personality in me. I just need someone willing to give a sweet old guy a place to call home.

Could you be my forever family?

Please share Arnie’s post so we can help this senior boy find the loving forever home he deserves.

Howdy!I'm Arnie I'm a sweet senior boy that is looking for a furever home of my own. I do well with other small dogs, big dogs are not my friends in my book. I have either selective hearing or my hearing just isn't what it used to be anymore. I can hear clapping hands and whistles. I come trotting back to the house when my foster mom claps her hands and I make eye contact with her. I'm loving her big fenced in backyard with lots of birds, rabbits and squirrel to hunt.

Hi! I'm Nacho or Bruno as my foster mom calls me :) I am a very high energy little guy, I am constantly under your feet to stay involved in any fun stuff happening.
I am a double merle chihuahua which caused a birth defect in my eye, it's call microophthalmic, which means my eye is extra small and non functioning. I was also born hydrocephalic (water on my brain, as well as an open fontanelle (my soft spot on my head did not close so my brain is not fully protected by my skull)
Now that we got that out of the way...... I am a very happy go lucky, highly energetic pup looking for a furever home of my own.
No small children, no older rambunctious children, and no big dogs please as if I got dropped or rolled I could get a serious brain injury.
I do like playing with small dogs my size. Because of my eyesight I do require a physically fenced yard.

Howdy! I'm Seymour. I am a very sweet Doxie boy loving life in my foster home. I have just begun my journey to live life as a house pet. I am working on house training, learning to chew on what puppies are supposed to chew on. Wearing a harness and walking on a leash..... that's all new ;) I am learning I now have a name, I still don't listen when my foster mom says "Come, sit or stay" what's that all about ;)

I do need a fenced yard to keep me safe since I don't come when called and I loooooove to run, chase and play with the other dogs in my foster mom's fenced yard. I am shy and need another small dog in the house. When I meet new people I run so my foster mom had to keep a leash attached when in the house and out in the yard so she could catch me.

I’m still figuring out this whole “pet dog” thing, so some things are brand new to me. Harnesses? Leashes? Strange people? Let’s just say I’m working on it! But give me a little time to get comfortable and learn that you’re my friend, and you’ll see what a sweet and loving boy I really am.

Here are some of my favorite things:

Hanging out with my DDR alum sister, who is also 5
Climbing into my foster mom’s lap for some quality TV time
Snuggling in bed because, obviously, beds are for snuggling
Exploring the yard and checking out all the important backyard business
Eating! I am definitely a fan of good food!
Getting love from people I trust

I’ve even mastered the whole “potty outside” thing! It took me a little while to figure it out, but now I’ve got it down.

Now, I’ll let you in on a little secret: I’m a bit of a nervous guy. New people can be scary, and I may bark or growl when we first meet. But don’t give up on me! Once I have some time to get to know you and realize you’re one of the good ones, my sweet side comes out.

I’m also easily spooked, so I need a physical fenced yard where I can safely explore, play, and enjoy being a dog. A quiet, laid-back home would be just my speed.

We don’t know yet how I feel about cats or kids since I haven’t met them.

I’m not looking for a super busy household or someone who expects me to become a social butterfly overnight. I’m looking for my people. The ones who will give me a little patience, a lot of love, and let me blossom at my own pace.

And when I do? Get ready for a lap-loving, bed-snuggling, TV-watching best friend!

Could you be Cooper’s forever person?

Share my post and help me find the family who will give this sweet boy the chance to show them just how wonderful he can be!

Welcome to Dakota Dachshund Rescue Cooper!! Cooper is a sweet and loving 5 year old once he is familiar and builds trust. He eats well, goes outside to play and explore the yard. He loves his DDR Alum sister who is also 5 years of age. It took a little while to learn to use the bathroom outside but now is fine. Cooper loves to lay on my lap and watch TV, and he also loves to snuggle in bed. He is very afraid of strangers and may bark or growl at first. He has not been with cats or children, so that is unknown. Given a chance to get used to you, he will be a wonderful family edition. Cooper has just begun his journey to become a house pet, everything is new to him including a harness and leash. Cooper gets spooked very easier, he does require a fenced yard to keep him safe. Can you offer Cooper a quiet more laid back furever home?
Cooper is 5 years young, he weighs 14 pounds, his adoption fee is $350 plus sales tax $15.75=$365.75

✨ Meet Eileen ✨
At 7 years old, Eileen is learning that the world might not be such a scary place after all. This sweet little dachshund came to DDR very frightened, but day by day she’s taking tiny brave steps toward trusting her foster mom and discovering the good life.
Eileen is still very shy, but she’s getting more comfortable being picked up, hanging close to her people, and watching the other dogs show her how fun life can be. She absolutely dreams of being part of the pack… she just needs a patient family willing to let her bloom at her own speed.
A confident, social dog in the home will be a huge help for Eileen as she learns the ropes. She kennels well, is making progress on potty training, and quietly cheers on the other pups like a tiny dachshund fan club president.
Eileen will require: A fenced yard Another friendly social dog Patience, kindness, and time
Some dogs burst into your life like fireworks. Eileen is more like a porch light slowly glowing brighter each night. And when she trusts you? That kind of love is pure gold. ✨

This sweet lady is Eileen. She came to DDR very scared. She is still very shy but is getting more used to being picked up and getting closer to her foster mom. Another social dog in the home will be huge for Eileen to get comfortable. She kennels well and is getting better on potty training. She very much wants to be like the other pups. It will just take some time. Fenced yard required
Eileen is about 7 years old and weighs about 12 pounds. Her adoption fee is $350 plus tax of $15.75 for a total of $365.75.
