Story
Bolt My name is Bolt named after Usain Bolt. You guessed it I am fast just like the Olympic sprinter. It is amazing I am so fast because I have an injured pelvis. Because of this injury I have had nerve damage and lost feeling in my back end. This means I cannot pee and poop like a normal dog. My foster family and vet are working with me to see if there is some things we can try. Currently we are trying out some medications to see if we can get me to have control of my functions. We are not sure if they will work but we want to try. I am such a cute boy and very loving. I get along with the other dogs in the home. I think I am in charge of the much bigger dogs because my whole six pounds are filled with determination. I am still a puppy but have gotten over a lot of puppy behavior like chewing and biting. I weigh almost 7 lbs and need to put more weight on. I am crate trained. Currently I wear a diaper most of the time. I do not love it but put up with it to make everyone happy. I am very smart and want to do the right things when asked. I love humans, my crate and soft beds. In my foster home the other dogs think I am to fast to play with but I try to play with them. Maybe they will come around. I am looking for a home where someone will love me for me. No one know how I got injured but it was not my fault. I deserve to be loved and have a loving family like all other dogs. If you have room in your heart and lap and couch please give me a chance. I will pay you back with lots of love. If interested in giving me a forever home, please complete an application at safeanimalhaven.org.November 5, 2024, 12:12 am

Story
Koda was born 10-24-23 and weighs 34 pounds. His mom was a small, black Rat Terrier and dad is an unknown rolling stone.  He has a kind of laid back temperament and takes everything in stride. He loves attention and will stay beside you for pets as long as you will give them. He came to us because his mom got sick and could no longer care for him. He does pretty well on a leash and was previously house trained. He gets along fine with other dogs but has never been around cats. Koda has also been around children young to older with no issues. He should do well with most any type of family. Koda is neutered, microchipped and current on shots, heartworm and flea prevention. If you are interested in adopting, please submit our application at Richardsonrescue.org. That is also our most current site to see if a baby is still available. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 15, 2025, 4:15 pm

Story
We have had Zoe for nearly 6 years and got her as a small puppy. We had our first baby 3 years ago and had our second last November; very unfortunately, she has not been able to adjust to life with kids in the house. We have had a few instances of nipping/biting, and we have concerns about her being around our kids and other kids. She is an otherwise incredibly sweet mutt (we think JRT and chihuahua). She loves us and does okay at home with just our family of 4, but we cannot have anyone over to our house including family that she knows well. She is potty trained and is off leash trained with an E collar (we sent her for a 2 week board and train program as a puppy). She has no medical needs/issues. We think she would probably do best with an adult who just wants some company. She loves having someone at home to cuddle with and doesn’t need much exercise. She’s adopted a love for burrowing under blankets from our older dachshund. She loves other dogs. She is crate trained.
