He came from a shelter they believed had been hit by a car he had a broken pelvis and injured leg, but we are fairly sure he was beaten. He was terrified of anything like a broom and pees and poops himself.  He's getting better every day. He needs a quiet home, cats are okay, but no male dogs. He can be a sweet boy but wants to trust but we can see it in his eyes as he sizes up every situation. He loves playing with the female dogs in his foster home and can spend hours outside just running and playing.  He weighs about 9 pounds, is microchipped and has been fully vaccinated. Neuter to be announced still recovering from a broken pelvis and injured leg. Please consider adopting a senior dog. They are passed over routinely in shelters and Chihuahua senior dogs who are black are then the number 2 breed most euthanized in shelters. Adopt don't shop! ##1371753##

FINN! ADOPT ME! I'M READY TO CRAWL INTO YOUR HEARTS! Finn is a mystery mutt. We guessed chi corgi at first, but they seem to have outgrown the chi part, we've considered Basenji, Shepherd, Min Pin, and more but the truth is we really don't know. 🤣 We think they will be medium large sized (55ish pounds) but we're not making any promises at this point. Finn is fixed, vaccinated and microchipped. He's about 7.5 months old. Finn has been raised with dogs of all sizes. He gets along with them all. He's very happy go lucky. He loves to play. Working on his housetraining but getting there. He does pretty well on leash and loves to go to Starbucks! Crate trained, but he didn't really like the crate. He's not cat friendly. Currently in foster in So Cal, can be adopted anywhere in California. Adoption fee of $300 includes neuter, microchip, core vaccines, and free access to online training programs that we purchase. Please apply here to adopt:. Adoption Application We require an application before scheduling a meet and greet. Thank you!

These pups are in Riverside, California too!

Story
🐾 Meet Kylo – Looking for His Forever Home 🐾 Kylo is a 2-year-old male Shiba Inu looking for a loving, patient, and responsible forever home where he can thrive. He has a big personality and needs a family who understands the Shiba Inu breed and can provide him with the time, attention, structure, and consistency he deserves. Like many Shibas, he may benefit from a secure environment, regular exercise, and continued guidance with house training and boundaries. Kylo would do best with someone who understands the importance of keeping him safely contained, as he has shown an ability to escape fencing. His ideal home will be committed to his safety, well-being, and long-term care. This decision comes from wanting to find Kylo the right environment for his needs. He deserves a home where he can be loved, understood, and given the opportunity to flourish. 🏡 Looking for: A responsible, committed adopter who understands Shiba Inus and is ready to provide a safe, loving home for life.
