Once he trusts you, he's the most devoted companion you could ask for.Applicants must be over the age of 25 and a homeowner.

Watch Amethyst and Steven's video
❤️ MEET AMETHYST & STEVEN! ❤️
Meet Amethyst and Steven, an adorable brother-and-sister duo of Chiweenies who are about 1.5 years old!
These siblings were the result of an unexpected litter, and their owners did their best to keep the family together. Unfortunately, financial challenges and housing limitations made it clear that they needed a little help to ensure these pups could live their very best lives. ❤️
Sometimes, loving an animal means recognizing when you need help giving them the future they deserve. We’re happy to help Amethyst and Steven find their next chapters!
Read more about Amethyst and Steven
And they aren’t the only ones! Their siblings, Gunther and Pearl, will be joining the rescue soon, too!
Amethyst and Steven have been vetted and are ready to find loving families who will give them the security, happiness, and forever homes they deserve. ❤️
We would absolutely LOVE to see this duo adopted together, but they are not bonded and can be adopted separately. They will need patience, understanding, and plenty of socialization to help them build confidence and catch up on their social skills. With time, consistency, and love, we know they can blossom!
Could you be the missing piece of their story? Whether you have room in your heart for one or both, these sweet pups deserve a chance to shine!

Adopting a dog in Richwood
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.
