17. Ophelia

Senior · Female · Pekingese / Mixed · 14 mi from Irving

Meet Ophelia: One-Eyed, Opinionated & Officially Retired

At 9 years young, Ophelia has entered her retirement era - and frankly, she thinks she's earned it.

This charming Pekingese mix is looking for a home where the schedule is flexible, the laps are plentiful, and no one expects her to participate in unnecessary nonsense. Ophelia enjoys relaxing, being adored, and sharing her opinions when she feels they are relevant. (Spoiler: she generally feels they are relevant.)

Read more about Ophelia

Ophelia is an independent woman who knows what she wants. She doesn't need constant attention, but when she decides it's time for affection, she makes an excellent lap dog. Her ideal family will understand that sometimes a lady just needs a little space to herself - and sometimes she needs your entire lap immediately.

Yes, Ophelia only has one eye, but don't worry: she can still spot foolishness from across the room. We think it simply adds to her distinguished, slightly mysterious charm.

Like many sophisticated ladies of a certain age, Ophelia takes a few daily medications to keep her feeling her best. She considers them part of her wellness routine and would appreciate a personal assistant willing to keep up with her regimen.

If your idea of the perfect companion is a low-key senior lady with a big personality, an independent streak, and excellent lap-dog potential, Ophelia may be ready to grace your home with her presence.

Ophelia isn't looking for someone to change her. She's looking for someone who appreciates the masterpiece she already is.

Temperament: Every great love story needs a Juliet—and this sweet 7-year-old, 11-pound girl is ready to meet her forever family. Juliet is an affectionate, world-class snuggler who loves curling up in laps, cuddling in bed, and burrowing into blankets and cozy spots. She’s happiest close to her people, whether she’s soaking up belly rubs and ear scratches or quietly keeping you company while you work.

Juliet forms deep bonds with her family and wants nothing more than to be loved and included. She may feel a little sad when left alone, but she is growing more confident and comfortable every day. Expressive and communicative, she’ll happily let you know when she’s ready for attention.

This little Juliet is also an adventurous spirit. She loves walks, running, exploring, and investigating every bug, critter, and unusual discovery along the way. She’s brave, curious, and confident—even Halloween skeletons don’t frighten her! She enjoys being a lookout, keeping watch while her family relaxes, and is friendly and social with people. She has also done wonderfully around children, including at a family birthday party.

Juliet may bark at bicycles, scooters, and large landscaping trucks, but she approaches life with enthusiasm and a fearless heart. She is kennel trained, potty trained, and knows her basic commands.

All Juliet needs now is her happily ever after—a family ready to give her the love, companionship, and cozy home she’s been waiting for. --

Read more about Tuco

Tuco is a handsome little guy with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He is incredibly sweet, friendly, and loves being close to his people. Whether you’re relaxing around the campfire, enjoying a quiet evening in the camper, or simply spending time at home, Tuco wants to be right there with you.

This affectionate boy loves attention and is happiest snuggled in your lap, belly-up, while you give him love. He may even fall asleep feeling safe and cozy in your arms. Tuco also enjoys following his people around and would make a wonderful companion for someone who wants a dog that truly enjoys being part of the family.

Tuco is already crate trained and walks well on a leash, making him a great little adventure partner. He enjoys camping and has experience going up and down the stairs to get in and out of the camper. Of course, once he gets inside, Tuco may decide he would rather follow you back outside to see what everyone is doing!

Because Tuco is clever and athletic, he can climb or jump out of a short metal pen. He will need supervision and secure containment when spending time outdoors. With his adventurous spirit, loving personality, and adorable good looks, Tuco is ready to find a family who will take him along on many wonderful journeys.
This fantastic little boy is the perfect size for traveling, cuddling, and making memories wherever the road leads.

26. Eva

Adult · Female · Chihuahua · 14 mi from Irving

EVA is as sweet as they come. It's obvious that in her previous eight years of life, she was deeply loved. If you let her, she would happily stay in your lap all day long. The moment you stand up, she's right by your side, wondering where "we" are going next. I've tried sneaking off the couch while she's napping nearby, but she catches me every single time!

Read more about Eva

Don't let EVA's age give you the wrong impression of her. Since settling in with her foster family, she has become a full speed 8-year-old puppy! She loves playing with her three siblings, running around after her human, and going on walks although she tends to walk behind her foster mom, which makes things a little awkward. She's still learning that walk time is also potty time as well. We're making progress every day. EVA warms up to other dogs quickly. She can be a little snippy at first, but within a 1-2 days, she is comfortable. Shortly after that, she's ready to be best friends and play all day long. If there are multiple dogs in the home, she'll be quick to remind you that there are never enough hands for all the pets she deserves!

She loves the sound of the treat bag opening, but she doesn't seem nearly as excited about the treats themselves. I'm still on the hunt for the special treat that will truly win her over.
She is always wanting to go out the door with you and rides very well in the car. She is also a good girl to take shopping with you and stays properly in the cart. She loves the attention she gets from everyone though.

More than anything, EVA wants to be close to her people and soak up all the love she can get. She's a devoted, affectionate, sweet-natured 5lb companion with a big heart, and she's ready to play, get lots of love, and stick by your side through thick and thin.

Health: He came to us with a broken front leg. The leg has been repaired. * No obvious health issues found during vet exam *
Temperament:

Meet Bungee, he is a tiny 2-year-old Papillon weighing just 8 pounds. He is a very timid, skittish boy who will need a patient and understanding home.

Read more about Bungee

Bungee spends much of his time under the bed, but he is beginning to come out more often and look around. He loves playing with toys “like a ninja,” especially when no one else is around. He is still frightened of being picked up and may run and hide, but he enjoys sleeping beside his foster parent once he feels safe.

Bungee recently had surgery to repair a broken leg and still favors it at times. His recovery will need to be monitored, and his adopter should follow veterinary guidance regarding activity.

Just this weekend, Bungee took a wonderful step forward by using the stairs to climb onto the bed by himself! With patience, gentleness, and time, this sweet little Papillon is slowly gaining confidence and learning to trust.

Adopting a small dog in Irving

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.
