1. Stellaluna

Puppy · Female · Whippet / Labrador Retriever / Mixed · 48 mi from Bethlehem

Meet this sweet little girl! At about 5 months old and and only 15 pounds, we feel she may be a Whippet–Lab mix, though her breed is a guess. She was found alone beside a highway in the middle of nowhere, and she bravely went right up to the person who stopped to help her. She’s affectionate, loves to snuggle, and likes staying close to her foster person. She’s doing great with the foster’s cats and gets along with other dogs. When meeting a new dog, she may be a little hesitant and give a small growl at first, but once she has a moment to settle in, she’s comfortable.She’s nearly house-trained, with only a couple of accidents.

She sleeps in her crate at night; she may whine briefly when she first goes in, then settles down. And if you’re looking for a bed snuggler, she’d be delighted to cuddle up with you!This loving girl has already won over her foster family and they can't say enough about her. . She’s ready to find a caring forever home where she can share all that sweetness.

Adult · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed · 48 mi from Bethlehem

Oliver is a cute little guy weighing in at just 14 pounds and estimated to be around 6 years old. This sweet boy has already been through a heartbreaking change. His dad passed away, and sadly his mom was not able to keep him. Oliver was left without a home. Now he’s hoping to find someone who will make sure he never has to wonder where he belongs again. He becomes very attached to people quick so a home where someone is around more often would be perfect for him. Oliver is happiest when he’s with his people. He’s a total couch companion who would love nothing more than to curl up beside you and hang out for the day.

Read more about Oliver

He loves to snuggle on the couch with you and sleep under the covers with you. He is a true chi. He’s good with other dogs and cats too. He is also housebroken and will tell you he needs to go out by going to the back door. He is also good on a leash.Oliver isn’t a huge fan of little kids, so a home with teenagers or adults would be best for him. It is the sudden movements of the kids that makes him nervous. What he really wants is a loving person or family who will include him in their lives and give him the cozy, secure home he deserves. He is a wonderful little boy and anyone will fall in love with him immediatelyIf you’re looking for a sweet little companion who would happily claim a spot on the couch right beside you, Oliver might just be your guy!

9. Newt

Adult · Male · Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat) · 6 mi from Bethlehem

Just look at this face!!

That scruffy little beard, those adorable ears, and that Halloween outfit? Newt is serving up ALL the cuteness!

This handsome, tri-colored Chihuahua mix came to Outcast Rescue from ACCT Philly after being found as a stray. We don't know what his life looked like before rescue, but we know this little guy deserves a future filled with love, comfort, and a family to call his own.

A few things you should know about Newt:

He's approximately 2 years old.

He may take a little time to decide you're worthy of his awesomeness.

Once he warms up, you'll have yourself a devoted little lap buddy!

Read more about Newt

He absolutely LOVES other dogs, so a canine companion would be a big bonus!

He's fully vaccinated, microchipped, on preventatives, and 4DX negative.

Newt might not be the kind of guy who immediately runs up to every stranger he meets, but give him a little patience, let him get to know you, and you just might find yourself with a tiny, scruffy shadow who wants nothing more than to be by your side.

He's got the beard, the ears, and the personality potential to be your next favorite little sidekick. All he's missing is YOU!

Woody, Bo Peep, and Jessie were in a hoarding situation until we came along and brought them into our gentle care. These Chihuahua mixes are 3 years old and weigh about 20 pounds. Mid energy, they each get along with other dogs and they like cats, too. They’re quite loving, very well mannered, and always grateful for attention. All three came to us heart worm positive, so, of course we treated them and now all three are ready for adoption. How about it?

29. Molly

Young · Female · Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler (short coat) · 47 mi from Bethlehem

Molly is the cutest little thing. Just a sweet, mini-cattle dog. She is only about 1.5 years old and 22 lbs of an adorable and playful little herder. Molly is super friendly and social and good with dogs, and cats (but with cats, she needs correction from time to time). She is truly such a good little girl and so easy to work with and train, and such a happy, bouncy, fun, companion dog, although a touch timid at times, with some new people. BUT, she is a cattle dog and needs folks who understand what this means, so she can get the home she will thrive in. Way smaller than she apears in the photos and SO adorable! Knowing this type of breed is a must, for her to get what she needs, and so folks understand what a little dog like this is all about.

A must meet, for she will steal your heart for sure.
LOVABLE MUTTS ADOPTION CENTER (Pregnant Dog Rescue) is a private, in home, all breed rescue facility. We exist only on the kindness of your donations and adoptions! We pride ourselves on being an HOLISTIC center and feed only holistic foods and various vitamins and supplements to all of our dogs. LOVABLE MUTTS ADOPTION CENTER dogs are well socialized, very friendly, and in wonderful health. We stand by our pups/dogs, and give 10 days for a refund and almost always take our dogs back at any age of their lives (often depends on dog)! LMAC has an application screening process. All applicants are asked to provide vet references, personal references, and a home visit. We pride ourselves in matching up the right dog with the right home. Sometimes this happens quickly and sometimes it might take a while. We hope you understand and are willing to wait for the perfect pup for your situation. We reserve the right to turn applicants down and to change our mind about a suitable match, for we are only concerned about what is best for our dogs. Also note that we arrange our visiting hours around your schedule, as this is a private, in home facility. We respond to all inquiries promptly, so if you have any trouble sending us an email, or have not heard back from us within 24 hours, please, CONTACT US AGAIN and check your spam! (We all know how emails can be at times!) Our dogs are spayed or neutered (if old enough), up to date on vaccines, wormed, heartworm tested, and free of fleas and ticks. We temperament test our dogs and they are all suitable for many family situations. Our dogs are well mannered, know some basic commands, and are usually housebroken within a week of being with us (if old enough). They are in our family/home situation at this time (not in kennels or crates, although most are crate trained) and are worked with daily. All of our dogs do well with other dogs and many do well with cats. Adoption donations vary with age, breed, vetting, and training of the dog, and range from $250 to $695 (most being $595). (We do not tend to place puppies or small dogs with kids under 6 and reserve the right to match who WE feel would be the best homes for our dogs.)

Adopting a small dog in Bethlehem

Small dogs suit apartments and smaller homes, are easy to take along, and many live well into their teens.

They still need daily walks, play and training. Small dogs can be fragile, so ask the rescue how they are with young children, who can easily drop or step on them.
