Howdy from Texas! My name is Turbo, and I’m a handsome black Chihuahua mix about 4 years old, weigh 17.6 lbs, and I have a story to tell. It all started when I was dumped in Bulverde, Texas, with 2 other dogs. Good Samaritans and the police were all trying to catch us, but I could run like the wind, and the chase was called off when we neared a major highway. Five days later, at 5 am, I was found lying in the street, barely conscious, and taken to the vet. I had X-rays, but nothing was broken. I was exhausted, hungry, thirsty, scared, and confused about what had happened, and after 3 days of rest in a wonderful foster home, I was safe and sound. These days, I am doing great, healthy, and happy, being spoiled and pampered like a little prince, snuggling in bed with my foster mom, snacking on delectable doggy treats, and now it's time for me to find a forever home.
I am a friendly boy with a medium energy level, just a bit shy at first with humans, and friendly with other dogs. I am not the playful type, and I’m not into dog toys, but I’m into dog treats and lounging around with my people. Yep, I’m a people dog, calm and sweet, enjoying snuggles and sharing kisses, but not over the top with being needy. I’m simply a good boy, easy to love and easy to live with. My future looks bright, and I am so looking forward to joining a wonderful family anywhere on the East Coast! Inquire about me today!

Please DO NOT apply unless the entire family / household is on board with adopting one of our dogs. We must receive an application for you to move forward in the process. Thoughtful direct emails are welcome and will be answered. However, an application is still a necessary step. We want to make sure we find our dogs a perfect fit with a family so both the dog and the family are happy. We keep our dogs with fosters once we get them out of shelters for a little bit to learn and understand their personalities. Our relationship with families doesn't stop at adoption! We are always available for any follow up questions and are happy to be a resource as you and your new pet settle into a routine.
