Adopting from PLDS

Please note we are a volunteer organization; as such this page may not completely reflect the adoptable pups at any one time.

Adoptable pups are shown below.

Thank you for your interest in adoption! We have some beautiful babies that would flourish in a home of their own. Don't let the silver on their faces keep you from seeing the light in their eyes. Seniors make a wonderful addition to many homes, and they have so much love to give. Please keep in mind that senior Dachshunds are not always a good fit with families who have very young children. Our babies have neither been kid-tested nor have they been exposed to cats. If this information appears it is from the previous owner or the foster family.

All of our adoptable babies have been altered, updated on all age appropriate vaccinations, tested for heart worms and intestinal worms, and any required dental work has been done. All of our seniors have a complete blood work up to ensure there are no underlying medical conditions. Some of our adoptable seniors require medications each day and that is indicated in their bios.

Because we rescue mostly senior and special needs dogs we don't do nearly as many adoptions as a regular rescue group. We do however make every effort to place as many of our babies as possible up for adoption. Quite a few of our available dogs are bonded with another dog. We have one set of three dogs that have spent their entire lives together, and they must be adopted together. While we understand that adopting multiple dogs at once is difficult, we are committed to keeping these bonded babies together.

We are open to adoption from any state. Our transport team can get these babies to most areas in Texas and Louisana, to the Arkansas, border, and Oklahoma City. Adoptive families outside of the state must, however, provide that additional part of any transports. We are open to adoptive families flying in to Midland to pick up their new family members. We will not, however, place a dog on a plane to fly alone.

Our adoption fees are $250. Any bonded pairs or groups are also $250 as keeping these babies together is our priority. We also offer a senior-for-senior discount; any senior human over 65 years of age who adopts a senior dog over 7 years of age is eligible for a reduced adoption fee of $100.

Sparky

Sparky is a true mini at 9 lbs 3 ounces. Nine-year-old boy is still full of life. Sparky is with Jeff in Middle Tennessee. He is a cuddler and likes to sleep between the pillows on the big bed. House-trained, will bark when he has business to do. Sparky would probably do well in a quieter home. Not kid-tested, not cat-tested. Sparky needs about a week to adjust to new circumstances as he is aggressive in a new environment. Recent dental and fully vaccinated.

We have a volunteer transport network within Texas. Adopter is responsible for transport outside of Texas. We do not fly our babies unaccompanied but have had several babies picked up by their new families to fly home. If you have room in your heart and your home for these babies please fill out an application at www.pldstexas.org/adoptables

MOJO

Mojo came to us when circumstances changed for his owner. Mojo is a Rat Terrier. He weighs about 17 lbs,. He has not been around men much in his nine years so we think a female would be best as an adopter, or a couple. Terrier experience and some patience will be needed as he adjusts to a new situation. Mojo is protective of his favorite sleeping spot and is happy when he has a cubby to retreat into. He is fostered with four other dogs and after a few verbal spats in the early days, they are fast friends. He is not affectionate with his foster and enjoys snuggling in the recliner. He is house-trained and up to date on all his vaccinations. Mojo is heart-worm free and just had a dental treatment. He is a delightful little man. He and Sparky came together and being adopted together would be wonderful but is not required.

We can help with transports in TN where

Mojo's faster home is. Adopters from other states are certainly welcome to apply but must know they would be responsible for transport outside of Texas. We do not fly our babies unaccompanied but have had several babies picked up by their new families to fly home. If you have room in your heart and your home for these beautiful brothers please fill out an application at www.pldstexas.org/adoptables

Sammy

This big boy (Black and Tan) is Sammy. Sammy is about 5 years old and looking for his new forever home. As you can see Sammy is not full blood Dachshund. I’m thinking maybe Dachshund/Lab mix. He is quite a bit larger than our standard Doxies. I’m guessing he weighs at least 35-40 pounds but will know better next week when he gets his vet work done. He would do well with larger dogs. Sammy has been neutered and will have blood work, heart worm test and fecal next week. If all tests come back good he will be available right away for his new forever home. Applications can be found at www.pldstexas.org/adoptables

cesar

This is Cesar. He is a Chihuahua. He was an owner turn in to the vet clinic. Cesar is 5 years old and weighs about 6 pounds. He is a cuddly little man who also loves to play. He gets along well with other small dogs. Have not cat tested him or kid tested him. Cesar has been neutered, heart worm tested and on monthly prevention, and vaccinated. He is ready for his new forever home. If you are interested in Cesar please fill out an application on www.pldstexas.org/adoptables

Our sanctuary is located in west Texas and we can help with transports in Texas. Anyone outside of TX would have to provide the extra transport miles.

Bolton & Zao: bonded pair

These two babies, Bolton on top and Zao on the bottom are ready for adoption as a bonded pair. They are 13-14 years old, heart worm negative and on prevention, bloodwork looks great, and dentals done last week. These boys are standards. Bolton was just groomed when his photograph was takes; his hair had quite a few mats in it when he arrived. Don’t let their age fool you as these boys are very active and extremely loving. They love other dogs but I suspect they would not love cats. They have been together their entire lives and we will not separate them. They are in the sanctuary in west Texas.
