My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet Pita

Breed: Chihuahua
Sex: Female
Age: ~12 years
Weight: 8 lbs
Good with Dogs: Yes — she coexists peacefully
Good with Cats: Unknown, but likely fine
Good with Kids: Older children only
Good with Men & Women: Yes
Food Aggression: None

Pita is a tiny, gentle senior girl with a heart full of sweetness. Despite being deaf and blind, she enjoys life in her own quiet, peaceful way. She loves simple pleasures — eating, sleeping, and taking slow walks around the yard. She’s a laid-back companion who asks for very little besides comfort and kindness.

Pita does have some medical needs. She is deaf and blind, and she is currently on a kidney-friendly diet. Updated lab work will be done soon to monitor her progress. Because of her sensory limitations, she needs help with daily routines — she is carried outside to potty, brought back in, and placed gently in her bed, much like caring for a newborn.

That said, Pita has wonderful strengths:
✨ Housebroken when taken out on a regular schedule
✨ Very loving and calm
✨ Quiet, small, and easy to manage
✨ Doesn’t need to be the only dog and doesn’t require another dog either

Her main challenge is that she can be anxious with changes. When placed in a new environment, she may bark or pace for about a week while she adjusts. Once she feels safe and familiar with her surroundings, she settles into her sweet, peaceful rhythm.

Pita is looking for a patient, gentle home where she can enjoy her golden years surrounded by comfort and compassion. If you’re someone who appreciates a quiet companion and has room in your heart for a special-needs senior, Pita will reward you with unconditional love and the softest little presence by your side.

Additional adoption info

Our fees range from 75.00 to 450.00 depending on the age of the dog. They must submit an application and if the application sounds good then a home visit will be set up. We are very strict about what we look for on the home visit. If app and home visit are approved then we bring the dog for a meet and greet. All dogs are vaccinated, spayed/neutered and healthy before adoption. I do ask that the family update us frequently on the dog as we like to keep up with each and every pet we adopt out.

More about this rescue

We LOVE dogs! We wish that we could help more than we do and hopefully someday we will expand and be able to do much more in our community to rescue and train dogs for placement and to educate the community about the importance of spay and neutering their pets and recruit more people to lend a hand.
