Story
🧡 MEET BAMBI! 🧡 13 lbs of sugar, spice, and everything… SPUNKY! 🤣🐾 This little girl is a whole lot of personality packed into a tiny package! Bambi is a wiggly ball of fun, zoomies, and cuddles. She LOVES other dogs, especially the medium-to-large variety who are up for a good wrestling match. She thinks big dogs make excellent playmates AND personal springboards, so a tolerant, playful canine companion is a must! 😂 But after a full day of running, romping, and charmingly causing chaos, Bambi’s favorite place to be is snuggled under the covers, curled up next to her people for the night. ❤️ A few more things about this little lady: 🐾 Crate trained 🐾 Working hard on mastering potty training 🐾 Knows how to sit 🐾 Loves toys and playtime 🐾 Professional cuddler and zoomie enthusiast Bambi is a high-energy sweetheart who brings the perfect combination of FUN and LOVE. She’s looking for a home that appreciates her playful personality, can keep up with her antics, and doesn’t mind sharing the bed with a 13-pound blanket hog. 😉 Her breed? We have no idea- she looks like a chihuahua on stiltz and also like a baby deer. Think Bambi might be your kind of chaos? Send us a message! 🧡

Story
Hello!! My name is Luna!! I live on the second floor... I live upstairs from you Yes, I think you've seen me before!! I came into MAD rescue several months ago. I was dumped after having a litter of puppies in a field in the middle of the country. The kind people who found me couldn't keep me and so these nice people from MAD came to see me and took me in. I was very scared and did not know any human kindness. I was told I was broken and worthless. But then I traveled a great distance. They said it was an emergency move and some really fantastic and kind people took me to a new home. My new foster looked me in the eyes and said I was a good girl. I wasn't broken, I just needed some time and they gave me all the time I needed. Now I am blossoming into a beautiful Luan moth dutchie girl and I am ready for my new home. I am good with cats, dogs, horses. ( I stay away from those funny horses with the crazy ears- they look like they can stomp a dog) I love love love pets and snuggles. I am very velcro and would love to do what ever you want to do. Are you my new hooman? adopt me #madloveluna currently I am in Oklahoma but I am great car rider and love to travel.   All MAD dogs come with a Fi Collar and one-year subscription.  If you are interested in adopting this pet please complete an application at this link  https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/24689/generic.  *********************************************************************** We are an official 501c3 organization that does not have a physical location.

Story
Meet Palm, the adorable bundle of energy with a BIG personality and an even BIGGER voice! At just 16 pounds, this one-year-old Bull Terrier mix is small but mighty, and she has absolutely no trouble making sure everyone knows she`s in the building. Her bark is high-pitched, loud, and very enthusiastic. Think less doorbell and more fire alarm! She`s a happy, cute, energetic girl who is always ready to bring some fun wherever she goes. She`s got plenty of personality packed into her little body, and she`ll keep you smiling (and possibly reaching for earplugs).We want to be upfront: this girl is LOUD when she barks, so apartment living probably isn`t the best fit for her. A home where her vocal talents won`t be an issue would be ideal!If you`re looking for a little dog with a big personality, endless enthusiasm, and absolutely no indoor voice, she might just be your girl!

Meet Axle ❤️ Retirement home needed. Lots of pets, a warm bed and a lots of sniffing outside requested. Axle is 14 years young and still loves playing with toys, sniffing outside and laying on the couch with you. He is good with dogs, cats and kids. He is potty trained and will follow you room to room. He is able to jump on the couch and even does the steps downstairs for bedtime. He is looking for a home where people are not gone 8+ hours a day and a home that understands he is a senior. He will need a kidney diet. He will be having a dental soon and may be a toothless wonder.
