MEET COCO!!! 🥰

Hi there! Im a pretty Bull Terrier mix named Coco. I am about 6 months old, weigh 34 lbs, and have a beautiful black-and-brown coat with touches of brindle. I was all alone searching for food near a dumpster in San Antonio, Texas, when a nice lady brought me home. Without a tag or a microchip and nobody claiming me, she became my foster mom and has been getting me ready for adoption. I am now spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready to find my very own family!

I am a very sweet and happy, medium-energy girl, not shy at all, and I make friends easily with everyone, humans and other dogs. I enjoy playtime, zoomies, dog toys, road trips, walks to the park, snuggles with my people, and sharing the best doggy kisses! My foster mom says I am a very good girl, still a pup, and doing great with house training, but I rarely bark, and I don't guard my food or toys. I am good in a crate, and that's where I stay when home alone. I have a lovely personality and am very sweet-natured, and I will easily become a cherished member of any household! Inquire about me today!

MEET PIPER!!!

Hello everyone! I’m Piper. A pretty little 2-year-old, 20 lb Pug mix ready for a chance to live a much better life as a beloved pet instead of a breeding mama. I was owned by backyard pug-mix breeders, and after a fire burned down their trailer, the neighbors helped the survivors by calling dog rescues. I was saved by 4 Little Paws Rescue, along with another pregnant mama now named Penny, and just in the nick of time! The very next day in our new foster home in Von Ormy, Texas, I delivered a single puppy on April 13th, and two days later, Penny delivered 6 puppies. It was a puppy palooza, and now that they are all weaned and getting ready for adoption, so am I. I’m now spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date with flea/tick/heartworm prevention. Yep, I’m ready to GO!!

My foster mom wants you to know that I am a very sweet and happy girl. I will probably be shy when we first meet, but I warm up quickly, and even when I’m scared, I’ll still let you pick me up. Almost right away, my joy for life and sparkling personality resumes, and I’m running zoomies, playing with dog friends, enjoying doggy toys, and ripping the stuffing out of soft toys… so save your money and don't buy me any soft toys! I am affectionate, not kissy, but I LOVE to cuddle, and when I see you plop down on the couch, I’m right there beside you. I am also well behaved, housebroken, know how to use a doggy door, and I only bark when I need to alert you. I enjoy going for walks, and I love a ride in the car, so feel free to take me along on road trips. I know I will become a cherished member of your family, so inquire about me today!

MEET GOLDO!!! 😍

Howdy Doody from Texas! I'm Goldo, a sweet and adorable male Terrier/Pug mix who looks like a sausage with stubby legs, a little nub tail, and a heart of gold. I am almost 4 years old, weigh 54.6 lbs, and I was a stray dog near the border of Mexico. I was found on the street by a kind man in town, who reached out to 4 Little Paws Rescue for help. I am now neutered, vaccinated, chipped, healthy, happy, and ready to be adopted!

My foster dad wants you to know that I am a very nice boy, calm and friendly with everyone, humans, cats, and other dogs. I’m affectionate, not embarrassed to share kisses, and I love playtime, chasing a ball, doggy snacks (obviously, LOL), snuggling, going for walks, and roadtrips. I don't guard my food or toys, I’m well-behaved, obedient, quiet, housebroken, and more than anything, I am grateful for a chance to be someone's forever dog! Everyone I meet says I'm the SWEETEST boy, so inquire about me today! 🥰

Meet Nugget!!! 😍

Howdy folks! I am a pretty black & white female Labrador Retriever/Terrier mix named Nugget with soft, velvety ears that beg to be rubbed, LOL! I am about 5 years old, weigh 48 lbs, and I was dumped at a middle school in San Antonio, Texas, with a bag of dog food and a wire kennel. Thankfully, I was in my element with all the kids petting and playing with me, and I’m the type of girl with a happy and energetic spirit, so when a dog rescue picked me up, I adjusted easily. These days, I am living in a foster home, having some fun with the resident dogs, kids, and visitors. I am now spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for a new adventure to find a forever family that will last forever!

My foster mom reports that I am a very sweet and friendly girl, and I make friends easily with everyone. I love playtime, tug-of-war, running, and wrestling, and am a bit of a rough player. I love my people and am super affectionate, and would love to be included in family activities such as walks to the park, hiking, camping, social gatherings, road trips, and fun at the beach. The world is my oyster, and I am already dreaming of all the fun we could share! I’m a smart girl, rarely bark, already housebroken, not destructive, and I would love to have some chew toys or puzzle toys for something to do when home alone. I know some basic commands, am crate-trained, good in a crate, and that’s where I currently sleep and stay when home alone in my foster home. I will cry at first when left behind, but will settle down quickly and chew on a toy or take a nap while I wait for your return. Overall, I am a happy, friendly, loyal, sweetheart of a girl, looking for love and that wonderful feeling of belonging. I know my future looks bright, and I hear the Eastern Seaboard is the place to be, so inquire about me today!

MEET COOKIE! 😍

AWESOME DOG ALERT!!
Howdy! My name is Cookie, and I am a sweet and friendly female Terrier/American Bulldog mix, now about 7 years old, and I weigh 60 lbs. A few years ago, I was taken in by a San Antonio rescue and sent to a foster home, but adoptions in Texas are slow! Thankfully, 4 Little Paws Rescue, based in Connecticut, has offered to help, so I can finally find a forever home! I am spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, happy, and lovely, and I’m more than ready to meet you!

I am a calm, easygoing lady who is friendly with everyone I meet, including kids and strangers. I'm nonchalant about other dogs, not really the dog playmate type, but my heart belongs to people. I adore their company, visiting everyone at social gatherings, and I LOVE going for walks and tagging along on road trips. My foster mom says I am very sweet-natured and would make a wonderful lap dog if only I were smaller, but I’m thinking 60 lbs is small enough, LOL! I’m well-behaved, rarely bark, don't jump fences, not scared of thunderstorms, housebroken, and don't mind a kennel. I am smart and eager to please, ready for any adventure or just some snuggling on the couch watching TV. Inquire about me today.

Meet Ralphie!! 😍

Hi there! I’m a happy-go-lucky little Schnauzer mix named Ralphie. I am about 2.5 years old, 19 lbs, and I was a scared little stray, just skin and bones, running with a pack of much bigger dogs through the streets of Laredo, Texas, when a lady picked me up. Fast-forward a few months, and I feel like a brand-new boy. Healthy, happy, friendly, playful, it turns out I’m a total keeper! Now neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped… I am ready for adoption!

My foster mom wants you to know that I’m a happy dog, wagging my tail from the moment I wake up in the morning, friendly with everyone, dogs and humans, and not interested in kitty cats. I love playtime and squeaky toys, Freshpet dog food at mealtime, and I never turn down a pupperoni treat. I am affectionate and kissy, listen well, and come when called, without being a velcro dog. I’m good at home without humans, always well-behaved, not destructive, housebroken, only bark when I need to alert you, and I don't guard anything. I love dog beds, going for walks, and I don't mind a ride in the car. Inquire about me today!
