We could have lost our sweet Kiki, so we felt the need to share our story to let everyone with senior dogs know the dangers of these types of beds. Please share!!! ... See MoreSee Less

Very good to know, thank you for sharing.

Rufus and Daisy are two best friends who are still holding out hope for their forever family after being in foster care for 1.5 years.

These two buddies are inseparable and need to be adopted together. They are currently fostered by Little Paws Dachshund Rescue in Wheaton, MD, but they’re ready to bring love and snuggles to wherever it may be!

Both Rufus and Daisy are low-maintenance lovebugs, perfectly content with laid-back days, gentle walks, and just being in your presence. They’ve seen a lot in their lives, and now they deserve a peaceful, loving home to call their own.

Know someone who could offer this dynamic duo the forever home they’ve been waiting for? Let's make their dreams come true!
