1. Foxy Lady
Welcome Foxy Lady to CCPAL Rescue. She is a Corgi/Cairn is our best estimate on her breed. She is 15 months old. She has a longer coat and weight about 25 pounds. She should be full grown and if anything may fill out some. She will be a small dog full grown. She is good with other dogs, good in a crate and getting used to Rescue life. She has an adorable underbite and her teeth are in great shape. We think her best home would be with someone who has had a Corgi and has the time to finish her training. I would say moderate to active family is best. She could be with kids. We think 8 or older is best.
Read more about Foxy Lady
She likes the women at the shelter and warms up more slowly to new people. She readily accepts women. She will be worked with on her leash manners and she has ridden in the car without problems. Her best home would be a more quiet one that she can get more one on one attention. She would be great for an older couple, or single person that wants a nice companion. She doesnt seem to be the social butterfly but very content with being home. If you think this sounds like a good fit for you, put in an application. She is a wonderful dog and a head turner for sure. Her adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

2. Drummer
Welcome Drummer to CCPAL Rescue. Drummer is an 8-year-old wire-haired Dachshund. He was adopted out by us 4 years ago. He was 4 at the time. He has been loved and bonded deeply to the woman that adopted him. He would love another home with a quieter home that would allow him to get the attention he needs and deserves. He has found himself in need of a new forever home. His owner has been put in hospice and can no longer care for him. The immediate family cannot care for him so we stepped up and will find this precious boy his new forever home. He is trying to adjust to the Rescue again.

The treats from our friends in New Jersey helped him today along with all the nice gifts. His owner has been put in hospice and can no longer care for him. The immediate family cannot care for him so we stepped up and will find this precious boy his new forever home. 5.5 may sound out but it truly is middle aged in Dachshunds lifespans. They can easily live to be 17 years old. If you love the breed, you know how loyal and bonded these dogs are to their person. They are a single dog person dog. They may love other people but they are loyal to one. He sheds some but not over the top. He is a good weight and his teeth are not too bad for his age. You can tell he was cared for and that he is disoriented with his new arrangement at the Rescue. He is in Texas and can be adopted locally or we can work with one of the wonderful transporters to get him to Washington, Portland, Minnesota, Vermont or all along the East Coast. His adoption fee is $400 and transport is $200. Rhode Island and Massachusetts are not states we adopt to because of the regulations imposed by these states.

8. Charlie
This funny looking guy is CHARLIE, a 15 pound, 3 year old miniature poodle. His colors may look different but it just makes him unique. His curly coat is soft and he takes a bath well and does well at the groomers
CHARLIE was owner surrendered to us by a young lady who could not take care of him any longer. I am told he gets along with cats but I do not have any so I cannot vouch for that.
He is full grown and will not get any bigger. He gets along with the other foster dogs and plays well with everyone. He does like to hang around me but he is also independent, just happy roaming around the house and laying on a doggy bed and watching the activities.
If you are interested in adopting CHARLIE please submit an application on the website below. Feel free to call anytime. Thank you.

9. Milo
This little cutie is MILO, 10 pounds and 6 months old Maltipoo. We do not expect him to exceed 13 pounds as an adult. His coat is cotton soft and his temperament is just as soft. A kind hearted and playful little guy who gets along with all of the foster dogs. I do not have cats so I am not sure how he would behave around them.
MILO was found hiding in the bushes by Good Samaritans and turned into ACS, our very high kill shelter. I immediately stepped forward to rescue him and I am so happy. MILO is the type that just makes your heart melt. It is the cutest thing to watch him sit on his butt and beg you to come pet him. He sleeps with me and I barely know he is there because he doesn't move or get in the way.
If you are interested in adopting MILO, please submit an application on the website. Feel free to call anytime or leave a text message. Thank you.

10. Freda
FREDA is a 9 month old, 9 pounds terrier of some sort. We really cannot figure out what she is mixed with. I probably should do a DNA test on her. She looks just like her mother who is a few pounds smaller. FREDA was owner surrendered as the pregnancy was an accident litter.
The word that comes to me when I think about FREDA is "soft", her coat is soft, her attitude/temperament is soft, she takes treats soft, she plays soft and her overall behavior is just soft. She is a sweetheart of a dog who plays with all of the other foster dogs, she is kind of submissive but not timid as she wrestles and can hold her on while playing.
FREDA loves everyone, gives kisses and loves to snuggle even when there is really no space around my legs, she squeezes in and find a spot! I will have to get better pictures of her but she is always moving and playing.
Read more about Freda
She would make a great family dog, she will remain a small breed scruffy dog.
There are no cats in the home so we do not know how she would get along with them but she is just super soft so we cannot imagine her not getting along with a cat, she'll probably try to play with a cat.
If you would like to adopt FREDA, please submit an application on the website below. Feel free to call me anytime. Thank you.

11. Cisco
CISCO is ready for his own home and what a sweet boy you will be getting. He is 3 years old and a mere 14 pounds and fully grown. Just a sweet guy who wants love and loves nothing better than hanging out with his human. Although CISCO is in a home with other dogs, he can be dog selective and for that reason we are asking that he be the only dog in the home.
He gets along great with small kids, he plays and gives soft kisses.
He walks well on a leash and rides in the car without getting sick. He obeys well and is crate trained. Because there are several dogs in the home he is crated when there are no adults in the home so we are not sure how he does left alone on his own but he is not a chewer and does not bother things that are not dog related.
CISCO would love to have a human to give him attention and love and he will reward you with devotion and gratitude.
Read more about Cisco
He does very well being groomed and bathed and he will need to have his curly coat groomed every 6-8 weeks.
The home does not have any cats so we are not sure how he would do with them. If you are interested in adopting CISCO, please submit an application on the website below. Thank you.

12. Duke
Looking for a fabulous family dog? Look no further, DUKE is your dude!!! Seriously this is a great family pet who loves kids and his people. We are in disbelief at his cool and calm temperament, soooo cool and calm. He has been tested around some dogs that are dog reactive and bark, bark, bark. DUKE never flinches or acknowledges they are even there, they get in his face and DUKE just turns around and goes in the other direction.
DUKE is 4 years old and 80 pounds, a few pounds underweight but he is making up for it. DUKE was found in a subdivision next to his own subdivision. He is microchipped and every attempt was made to reach his family by social media, phone, text and even visited his home but they would not respond.
Read more about Duke
So we are like okay let us see why they no longer want DUKE. But DUKE is perfect really a perfect pet. In several weeks we have not found any faults except he just loves to hang with his humans and that is a great fault.
He is not aggressive in any area and do not resource guard things or humans and of course he gets along with everyone. He had a growth on his eye that has been removed and that is why his right eye looks a little hinky. He is healthy in all areas, walks great on a leash without pulling, just walks right beside you at your pace and he rides in a car without getting sick, jumps right in.
If you want to spend your days hanging out with a happy companion pet, DUKE is your guy. If you are interested in adopting DUKE, please submit an application on the website below or contact his foster mom. Thank you.

13. Felix
This little guy FELIX just checks all of the boxes. He is a great playmate companion to another dog as well as a good cuddler to a human. He is great at walking on the leash and does not get car sick. FELIX is happy, happy, happy and always seems to have a smile on his face.
3 years young and 14 pounds, he is the perfect age and weight to add a new family member to your home. FELIX is a Shih Tzu/Pug mix, I know, what kind of mix is that but he is a gorgeous little dude who is playful and well-behaved and just easy to get along with.
He loves every dog, big or small and loves to play, runs zoomies outside when he is suppose to be out there on a potty break! Of course he loves the girls too!!
I will try to get more pictures of FELIX.

14. Snow
Monday, September 21, 2026, SNOW is still available.
Awww, SNOW is one of my favorite in my home. He is a 8 year young, 12 pound Shih Tzu, male. He is just happy go lucky all the time. He runs outside to potty with the other dogs and afterwards comes back to the door to get in. I do not have a doggy door, nor do I have any cats so I do not know how he would do with them but he is really a chill type of guy.
Sometimes he sunbathes for a few minutes or sits on the deck to watch the other dogs play. I have even seen him play every now and then. Very routine type of guy, crate, potty and house trained.
Read more about Snow
The name SNOW is what his microchip is registered under even though that name just does not fit him and I try not to call him by that name just in case his new owners would like to change it.
SNOW was found on the streets very neglected with matting and skinny from trying to fend for himself, I wanted to cry when I got him. Then I got happy for a brief moment as he had a microchip and I contacted the owners who never responded to my phone calls, text or emails. I cannot imagine why they would not want SNOW as he is the perfect dog, he has not given me one moment of trouble. This is a really special guy. And that underbite just makes him more unique.

This spunky looking guy is just that, full of spunk and fun and ready to enjoy life in a new home. This is PANDA, a 5 year old, 11 pound Papillon mix with well you make a guess at what he is mixed with. He is a mix of happiness and fun. Gets along with all of the dogs, crate and potty, house trained. He is a routine kind of guy and very independent but he likes to be in the same room you are in just so he can keep an eye on you!
PANDA rides in the car without getting sick and walks very well on a leash. He was found on the streets with no microchip and very neglected and matted. He has been a great addition to my home as he is easy to care for and he gets along with all of the dogs, large and small.
He would love to meet you! If you are interested in adopting PANDA, please submit an application on the website below or feel free to call me. Thank you.

16. Amanda
AMANDA is a beautiful AKC Registered Parti-Poodle, Standard. She is 5 years old and 50 pounds. This is a very well behaved dog who walks great on a leash and rides in the car without getting sick, she just looks out of the window. My 10 year old granddaughter was able to handle her on a daily basis with ease.
AMANDA lost her human mom and was rehomed along with her sister to people who just did not want to care for her so they surrendered her to our organization.
She makes a great companion and gets along with larger dogs but she should not be in a home with smaller breed dogs, other than that she plays very well with medium and large breed dogs.

I do not have any cats in my home so I do not know how she would react to them.
These pictures do not show how beautiful and kind hearted she is. I will try to take more that show how amazing she is.

Doesn't he look like a grumpy old man?!!! Well, he is not, far from it. BARRY is a happy guy who runs around playing with the other dogs but he is not too active. He loves hanging out in the house with his humans. BARRY also loves playing in water but only outside, he never gets into the water bowl in house. This is a very playful and happy guy.
He is completely crate and potty trained but I let the dogs out pretty often so there are no accidents.
BARRY is a 2 1/2 year old, 15 pound pure breed Shih Tzu with a golden color with white and gray mixed in. He walks well on a leash and rides in the car without getting sick.
There are more pictures available of him.

Barry was abandoned in a neighborhood to fend for himself and that truly hurts my heart because he is a totally indoor dog and a super sweetheart.

18. Ginger & Charlie
This brother and sister duo are GINGER & CHARLIE. They are very bonded and cannot be separated. They would do best in a home together. They play, play and play some more until it is time to eat and take a nap and then play some more. Both of the love playing with the other small breed scruffies in the house.
GINGER is the cream and tan one and only has one eye. I do not know what happened to her left eye before I got her but it was a dead eye with no sight causing infection and the vet advised to have it removed. She is the more social of the two dogs.
CHARLIE is the brown and tan one with the cutest underbite that just makes him cuter.
Both walk well on a leash and ride in the car without getting car sick.
Read more about Ginger & Charlie
They sleep together in their crate, on the floor in a doggy bed or on the couch. I try to prohibit them getting on the couch but CHARLIE loves it up there and GINGER follows. I cannot say which one if the leader because they follow each other around with activities.
Neither of them is aggressive or protective of anything or each other. Of course they love their treats and not big eaters. They are crate and house trained. They are not destructive with human things but CHARLIE likes to take my shoes as soon as I take them off. He only moves them to their doggy bed, he does not chew on them, just moves them and then moves on to the next adventure.
These pure breed Shih Tzu's were owner surrendered because the owner just could not take care of them any longer. BOTH are 4 years old, GINGER is 10 pounds and CHARLIE is 12 pounds even though they look the same weight and small. More pictures are available.
Their adoption fee is $600 as a pair, transportation is available to most of the United States. If you are interested in adopting them as a pair, please submit an application on the website below. Thank you.

19. Tyler
This little 8 pound guy is TYLER. He is 3 years old and a very loving and cuddly guy. He is quite independent and does not get in your way. He loves laying on his blankets and doggy bed.
I do NOT have any cats so I do not know how he would do in a home with cats. And he is very afraid of bigger dogs and will bark at them out of fear. Other than that he gets along with all of the small breed scruffies in my home.
The face and front part of him is straight like a Maltese and his body is curly like a poodle, he has a short curly tail. He may not be a pure breed but he is a preferred breed.
If you are interested in adopting TYLER, please submit an application on the website below. Feel free to call me anytime to discuss. More pictures are available. Thank you.

Our adoption fee is $300 for a dog under 1 year old, $250.00 for a dog 1 year and older. Some dogs will be available for a lower fee. Adopters must be 21 years old or older. Any pets currently in the adoptive home must be spayed or neutered and up-to-date on vaccinations. Heartworm preventative is now recommended by Veterinarians in almost all areas of the US, and most are recommending year-round use. If your Vet recommends heartworm testing and consistent use of heartworm preventative medication we will verify to ensure your Vet records show heartworm testing completed and preventative purchased. For dogs currently in an applicant’s home, you should have a history of providing this care for at least the past year. If there are no dogs currently in the home we will check prior vet references and verify heartworm testing and use of preventative for dogs previously in the home. The purchase of heartworm preventative requires a prescription and prior purchases, if applicable, will be verified during the vet reference portion of our application process. If the applicant's vet clinic recommends heartworm preventative but it is purchased elsewhere, we ask applicants to provide proof of the prior purchases. After we receive a completed application to adopt, we conduct a phone interview and a home visit before approving an applicant. A vet reference must be provided for all current and recent pets. Personal and vet references will be verified. If renting, please provide your la
Adopting a dog in Hondo
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.
