~~Although we do our very best to make sure your new pup is in tiptop health before adoption,
things could drastically change a month later. Since we don’t have a long health history of your
adopted dog, we can only treat the pet for whatever symptoms present during the initial exam
and follow up exams.~

Temperament: Meet Tuco: Your Next Camping Companion!
Looking for the perfect little travel buddy to join you on life’s adventures? Meet Tuco, an adorable 11-month-old male Pomeranian weighing approximately 8.5 pounds!

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.

Puppy · Female · Terrier / Mixed · 5 mi from Richardson

Dobby was spotted running around White Rock Lake with her brother, When her now foster approached, Dobby ran right up to say hello, happily accepted being picked up and immediately rolled over for belly rubs. That sweet, trusting personality has been shining ever since!

At just 4 months old, Dobby has already mastered the art of being someone's shadow. If you're sitting on the couch, she's climbing into your lap. Watching TV? She'd prefer to be curled up on your chest. Working at your desk? She'll happily squeeze onto your chair! She's a professional cuddler with a playful side, enjoying zoomies around the house, toys and plenty of puppy naps.

Read more about Dobby

Don't let her small size and sweet personality fool you, though! Dobby has a little feisty streak and isn't afraid to stand her ground when her bigger brother tries to steal her toys. She's great with kids and is slowly building confidence around other dogs, often rolling onto her back or lying beside them as she gets comfortable. She's also crate trained, doing well on a leash and making great progress with potty training. She even sleeps through the night!

Dobby would love a home where she can enjoy daily walks, plenty of playtime and, most importantly, lots of affection. She's happiest when she's close to her people and would make a wonderful companion for someone excited to help a loving, playful puppy continue to grow.

Adopting a puppy in Richardson

Puppies usually go to their new homes from about eight weeks old, once they're weaned and have had their first vaccinations. Most rescues spay or neuter them before adoption, or include it in the fee.

Ask the rescue how big the puppy is expected to grow and which breeds they think are in the mix, so you can plan for the dog they'll become.

Puppies need a lot of your time: house-training, a few minutes of training every day, several small meals, and someone home often enough to let them out. A puppy class is a good way to start.
