Nona & Harper in Dallas, TX

Here are the pups with their new mom…

Introducing Nona & Harper, a delightful bonded duo with hearts of gold! These young, playful, and affectionate girls are ready to bring endless joy and love to their forever home. Eager to please, they are sure to become cherished members of your family. If you’re looking for a pair of sweet companions to fill your life with happiness, Harper and Nona are the perfect match!

Harper is a charming tricolor pup who is  2-year-old (born 8/2/22) and proudly holds the title of “boss” among her canine companion. This affectionate girl loves to stay close to her humans, following you around the house wherever you go. Harper has a playful spirit and enjoys a good game of fetch, but she also relishes those cozy moments, curling up on the couch with you whenever you sit down.  With a playful personality, she often “borrows” toys and balls from her sister, showcasing her fun-loving nature. 

Weighing in at 21 lbs, Harper is on the larger side and could benefit from shedding a few pounds. It seems her previous lifestyle was quite sedentary, but she truly thrives on walks and outdoor adventures. With the right diet and regular exercise, Harper is sure to blossom into her best self!

Nona, a petite 2-year-old Blenheim (born 11/22/22), weighs just 15 pounds and has a sweet, gentle nature. While she may be a little shy at first, she warms up quickly and loves making new friends. Loud noises or sudden movements can sometimes startle her, but her affectionate personality shines through as she eagerly rolls onto her back for belly rubs when meeting new people.

Nona enjoys playtime but is just as happy to relax on the couch, quietly observing as you go about your day. The moment you sit down, she’s ready to snuggle up right by your side, just like her sister. She’s also a big fan of daily walks and would thrive in a home with a family committed to keeping her active with regular strolls.

One thing to note is that Nona can display some resource guarding, particularly around mealtime. She’ll do best with a safe, quiet spot to eat where she doesn’t have to worry about sharing her food. 

We think the girls would do best in a home where it’s just the two of them, allowing them to soak up all of your love and attention. Harper is an alpha female and with other dogs around she can get jealous.  They aren’t accustomed to being left alone for long periods, so they’re looking for a family that’s home most of the time to keep them company. A fenced-in yard is also a must, as they enjoy frequent trips outside.

Due to their previous owner being ill, potty training is still a work in progress. They’ll need consistent positive reinforcement and regular outdoor breaks to help establish a reliable routine. Harper does have a little snore, but with some weight loss, it’s likely to improve. They’re excellent travel companions, happily lying next to each other during car rides.

On top of all that, both girls have clear hearts and are healthy. Harper had a very minor ear infection and Nona an eye infection that have both cleared up. They also had some minor crystals in urine and are on a supplement for a month. They are both spayed, up to date on core vaccinations, microchipped, and on heartworm prevention. 

With their loving personalities and playful spirits, Harper and Nona are ready to bring joy and companionship to her forever home!  If you think they would be a great fit for your family please complete and online application if you haven’t already and then email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest. Applicants who live within a driving distance of Dallas will be considered.

Charley in Dallas, TX

Here is Charley with his new family…

Charley is a 2-year-old (dob 9/5/2022) sweetheart who lives up to his nickname. He loves giving hugs and kisses, even to new friends. This affectionate pup is on the search for his forever home and has been an absolute joy to his foster family.

Charley is a cuddler through and through. If there’s a lap available, he’s in it. He enjoys playing with toys (he’s still learning how to share them with his foster siblings), and he’s already mastered the art of the zoomies! His playful energy is matched by his loving personality.

Meal times are a highlight for Charley, and he especially enjoys healthy treats like blueberries throughout the day. He’s also a fan of car rides and loves gazing out the window—whether you’re on the road or just hanging out at home.

Charley is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccinations. He’s mostly potty trained. He had a couple of accidents when he first arrived but hasn’t had any since, so his foster mom thinks he’s got it down. He sleeps soundly through the night in his crate, but he’d be thrilled to snuggle in bed with you if you’ll let him.

This curious and social pup would thrive in a home with a securely fenced yard and someone who is around most of the time. He’s happy to be the only dog (he loves soaking up all the attention), but he could also enjoy having a doggy sibling to play and cuddle with. While he may take a moment to warm up to other dogs, he makes friends quickly.

Charley’s loving, friendly nature makes him a joy to be around. If you’re looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and an even bigger cuddle instinct, Charley might just be your perfect match.

If you think you can love and provide all the things he needs, please complete our application if you have not already done so and then email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest.  Please also read through the FAQ’s on the website to help understand the adoption process.  Preferred adopter is within an easy driving distance.

Bailey in Tulsa, OK

Here is Bailey with her new family…

Hello, hello! My name is Bailey and I’m a 3-year-old former mommy in a breeding operation. I came into rescue with my crate buddy and was initially nervous and shy as I had not been handled or nurtured by my owners. It took me a while to warm up to living as a pet, but once I saw your kindness I melted from all of the back and belly rubs. Then I was able to return that love with kisses and cuddles on your lap!  My foster dad gives the best shoulder blade deep massages and ear and head scratches. Ooh! Ahh! Yess! Right there! Mmmm.

I apparently had eaten something before I arrived that I shouldn’t have and became very sick. The vet had to do a big surgery and got out some wire that had poked through my intestines. It wasn’t a fun time, but I was very grateful for all the care and attention.  I am all healed now and ready for my new life. I was also spayed and had my teeth cleaned. They poked me with vaccines and I am on heartworm and flea prevention. Oh, and I have some little chip that helps find me if I am lost.

I have been very happy with my foster dad and another foster dog that I like very much. We like to snuggle sleep and go on walks or ride in the car. My foster dad says I am a “sweetie-peetie”! I follow him all around the house and make sure I know where he is. I love his fenced backyard that is full of flowers and I go about and explore all of it. He took a picture of me sleeping in the flowers.  Silly me! I do love to sun myself outside. I like walks and am not overly fond of leashes. Walking in the quiet neighborhood I would rather drag the leash and walk right with you. I stay close and don’t wander. I need more practice walking with the leash.

I spend most of my day sleeping on my favorite couch spot with my favorite toy. I like children and other dogs that are my size and not aggressive or rowdy. I love to eat now that I feel better and will eat mine and go for my foster sister’s if not redirected. I also like a treat if I do the good outdoor “deed”. I get busy twice a day usually after I eat. We go out at least every 3 or 4 hours and have no accidents in the house. Since I ate something inedible, it is important that I have some safe flavorful chews and toys. 

I would be most comfortable in a home with another calm small dog, someone home a lot and children who respect my space. Oh, and a fenced yard is important. I know how to use a dog door, but that isn’t imperative. I’m looking for that special family to love and cuddle with and be your sweet little pet forever!

 

Liam in Nashville, TN

Here is Liam with his new mom…

Looking for a daily dose of sunshine, wiggles, and snuggles? Look no further than Liam, an adorable 5-month-old Ruby Cavalier born 10/20/2024. This pup has a heart as big as his floppy ears. This sweet boy has quickly stolen the hearts of everyone he meets. With his warm, expressive eyes and joyful energy, Liam is the perfect mix of silly puppy playfulness and devoted Cavalier cuddler.

Liam’s personality is as vibrant as his gorgeous ruby coat. He’s curious about the world, always eager to explore new sights, sounds, and smells, and then come straight back for some lap time and love. He’s happiest when he’s cuddled up on a lap or playing with his foster brother, and he greets each day with boundless enthusiasm. Whether it’s a game of chase, a good chew toy, or curling up next to you for a nap, Liam makes even the ordinary feel special.

This charming little guy is currently 11 lbs and growing, and he’s in excellent health. Like most puppies his age, he’s still working on house training, but he’s making great progress, especially when he has a consistent routine and lots of encouragement. He’s adjusting to his crate but prefers to be where his humans or foster brother are. But he’s learning quickly with praise and positive reinforcement. He’ll thrive in a home where someone is around most of the time to keep up with his potty training and help him settle into his new life.

Because Liam loves canine companionship, he would thrive in a home with another friendly dog to be his playmate and mentor. He takes comfort in having a buddy around, especially as he continues learning the ropes of being a well-mannered family member. Liam is very people-oriented and could do well as a solo pup in a home where he gets plenty of attention, love, and gentle guidance.

What makes Liam truly special is his joyful spirit. He brings so much happiness with his goofy antics and warm, cuddly nature. He’s a puppy full of promise, and watching him grow and blossom is an absolute joy.

If you are interested in this Cavalier, please complete our online application if you haven’t already and then email Liz Nigh at Lizcavalierusa@gmail.com so she knows of your interest.

Beau in Dallas, TX

Meet Beau, an adorable 8 year old Blenheim boy with the friendliest personality and the cutest little teddy bear face. Beau’s heart is overflowing with love, and he’s eager to share it with a family that will cherish him for the rest of his days.

Beau came into rescue due to his elderly owner no longer being able to provide for his needs. He is affectionate and loyal, wanting to stay close by your side throughout the day. He will even try to get in the shower with you if you will allow it! Beau is energetic for his age and enjoys going on walks, playing with balls, and being outdoors in the fenced yard where he can sniff to his heart’s content. When you’re ready to settle in for some relaxing moments, Beau is right there beside you, taking his place on the arm of the couch or the recliner. 

In great health, Beau is up to date on all his vaccinations, recently had a dental cleaning and a minor soft palate surgery to help his breathing. Beau is also microchipped. He is fully potty trained and knows how to use a doggy door whenever necessary. He will also bark at the back door if he decides he’d rather use the “big door” for yard access. At night, Beau sleeps peacefully in his crate but also would love snuggling at the foot of the bed if you don’t mind his snoring!   

Beau did exhibit some resource guarding of objects in his previous home. The foster has worked with him on this issue, and Beau has made significant progress. Given this history, however, it is best for Beau to be in a home without young children. 

Beau’s ideal home would include a securely fenced yard where he can explore freely. Beau is definitely happiest when he has companionship, so he would do best in a home where someone is around most of the time to provide the attention he adores. Although Beau gets along beautifully with other dogs, having another canine companion is not necessary for him to be content.

Beau is a devoted and loving boy who is ready to bring endless joy into your life.  If you feel you can provide Beau with love, companionship, a fenced yard, and someone that can be with him the majority of the day, please email Shelby at shelbynfields@gmail.com to express your interest.  

If you have not already filled out an online application, please do so.  Preference is given to applicants within a few hours driving distance of Dallas.

Nana and Louie in Whittier, CA

Here are Nana and Louie with their new family…

Double the paws, double the love!

Nana and Louie are three-year-old bonded littermates born December 8, 2021. These perfectly paired Blenheim Cavaliers found their way into rescue due to their previous owners change in circumstances. As siblings, they share an inseparable connection, providing each other with companionship and comfort.

Like most Cavaliers, Nana and Louie have expressive eyes, silky coats, and unwavering devotion. Both of them are typical Velcro pups, always wanting to know where their humans are. Nana has the cutest freckles and weighs eighteen pounds, and handsome Louie weighs nineteen pounds.

Due to a lack of socialization when they were puppies, both dogs experience varying degrees of anxiety. Nana is the more confident of the two. With no medical concerns, she provides a stabilizing presence for Louie.

Nana is affectionate, often seeking cuddles and attention. She shares a strong bond with her brother simply by being at his side. She enjoys playing with toys and will eagerly chase them when tossed.

Louie, the more anxious and sensitive of the two is making progress settling into a structured routine. Louie’s apprehension is particularly heightened when faced with new people and situations.

This nervous energy often manifests in barking, a behavior that has been improving with a daily dose of Fluoxetine, an anti-anxiety medication. With positive reinforcement and patience, Louie will continue to gain confidence. He has a grade 2/6 heart murmur and no medication is currently needed, but that will need monitoring.

Their foster Mom has seen a slow, steady improvement in Nana and Louie’s ability to adapt to the comings and goings of household life. The pair share a large crate which serves as a safe space. They had a few potty accidents when first arriving into foster care, but now that they have a consistent schedule and are let out every few hours, their housetraining is reliable. They are also proficient using potty pads overnight and throughout the day as needed when left alone.

Nana and Louie are fully vaccinated, microchipped, and have been spayed/neutered.

Their ideal home would be with an experienced dog owner that has a calm environment with low alone hours to help them adjust one last time and feel secure. They are perfect work from home office mates.

Due to their anxiety, a family with small children will not be considered. Both pups also demonstrate a high prey drive so their new home needs to be without cats, chickens or other small animals. A fenced yard where Nana and Louie can safely explore and play is a must. While they are not yet ready to venture out to busy public spaces like restaurant patios, with continued confidence-building guidance, they can get there.

Their new family needs to be patient, and aware that it will take time for them to adjust to a new environment. Enlisting a professional trainer (or someone in the household who is skilled in canine behavior training) is recommended to further guide Nana and Louie towards reaching their full potential.

If you are located within a reasonable drive to Whittier, and feel you can provide Louie and Nana with the loving, calm home they deserve, you will be rewarded with double the love and companionship. Please complete our online application if you haven’t done so already. Then email Nanci at nancigordon@gmail.com to let her know of your interest in Louie and Nana.
