Spot is looking for a foster-to-adopt home 🐾 If resilience had a face, it would be Spot's little smiling face... complete with his adorable tongue sticking out thanks to his impressive overbite. ❤️ This tiny Chihuahua has been through more than any dog should. Before coming into our care, we believe Spot may have been living outdoors and was likely hit by a vehicle. Despite arriving with an injured hip, a fractured rib, and heartworm, Spot has refused to let any of that slow him down. In fact, someone should probably tell Spot he's supposed to be injured. He races around the yard, plays with toys, goes for walks, follows his people everywhere, and happily curls up in a lap when he's ready for a nap. Spot is incredibly friendly, outgoing, and has never met a toy he didn't like. Spot is currently looking for a foster-to-adopt home willing to support him through the remainder of his medical care. The good news is that his heartworm treatment is already underway, his rib is healing nicely, and his injured leg doesn't stop him from doing all the things he loves. He truly lives life like any other happy little dog. What Spot needs most right now is stability. He has experienced a lot of change recently and forms strong bonds with his people. We are looking for a family willing to welcome him into their hearts and help him through the next few months while we continue his treatment and veterinary assessments. 🏡 Spot's ideal home: • A home with a secure yard where he can safely zoom around and explore. Condos are likely not the best fit for this busy little guy. • Small, gentle dogs who enjoy a bit of play. Spot is friendly with dogs of all sizes, but because of his tiny size and previous injuries, smaller canine companions would be safest. • Older, dog-savvy children who understand how to be gentle with a little dog. • Someone who enjoys sharing their lap, tossing toys, and including their dog in everyday life. • A family willing to help him build confidence when left alone. Spot has a bit of "FOMO" and always wants to know what's happening. We expect this will continue to improve as he settles into a permanent home and learns he's safe. Despite everything he's been through, Spot remains happy, affectionate, and full of life. He wakes up every day ready to play, explore, cuddle, and love with his whole heart. Now all he needs is a family to do the same for him. ❤️ We’re not sure if Spots age, we believe he’s quite young due to his playful nature. He is neutered and up to date on his vaccines.

Location: Calgary, AB // Age: 6 and 7 Years Old // Sex: Spayed Female and Neutered Male // Dogs: Yes // Cats: Untested // Kids: 12+ // Meet Cera & Ducky 💕 The sweetest little married couple searching for their forever home! These two are completely devoted to one another and have perfected the art of being a bonded pair. They share blankets, exchange kisses, groom each other, nap together, and generally spend their days being outrageously cute. If one of them is nearby, the other isn't far behind. Their foster family describes them as "**100% married**" and honestly, we couldn't agree more. 🐾 After arriving in foster care, Cera and Ducky settled in almost immediately. Within a couple of days they had found all the best napping spots, learned the household routine, and made themselves right at home. They're easy-going, affectionate little dogs who are happiest simply being part of the family. ❤️ About Cera: Cera is a happy, affectionate little lady whose greatest passion in life might just be belly rubs. Approach her and she'll happily roll onto her back in anticipation, hoping you've come to admire her tummy and provide the attention she deserves. She's playful, loving, and always ready to hand out kisses. Cera loves her daily walks and is currently embracing her fitness journey with enthusiasm. She walks beautifully on leash and enjoys getting outside to explore the neighbourhood. She's also recently discovered her talent for neighbourhood watch duties and may let everyone know when someone passes by the house or fence. Despite occasionally giving another dog a dramatic side-eye when sharing a blanket, she's wonderfully social and has integrated beautifully with the resident dogs in her foster home. ❤️ About Ducky: Ducky is a gentle, sweet-natured little guy who approaches life with a calm attitude and a love of adventure. While Cera prefers to walk, Ducky enjoys cruising around in his stroller like the distinguished gentleman he is. His daily stroller rides are one of his favourite activities, and watching him happily take in the sights and smells of the world is guaranteed to make people smile. Don't let the stroller fool you, though. Ducky still enjoys exploring the yard, following his people around, and joining in on family activities. He loves being included and has no intention of missing out on the fun. Ducky has a suspected neurological condition, likely IVDD, which has caused him to lose some function in one of his back legs. He currently takes a mild pain medication and uses a stroller for walks, while being carried up and down stairs. Despite this, he doesn't act like he's in pain and continues to enjoy life to the fullest. He remains curious, happy, playful, and eager to explore. His future family should be prepared to monitor his mobility as he ages and continue any veterinary recommendations to help keep him comfortable and thriving. When Ducky wants a cuddle or needs a helping hand onto the couch, he'll let you know with the sweetest little chirp. It's impossible not to fall in love with him. 🏡 Living with Cera & Ducky: These two are wonderfully easy companions. ✔ Fully house trained ✔ Crate/pen trained ✔ Sleep quietly through the night together ✔ Comfortable being left alone for 4–5 hours ✔ Great in the car ✔ Easy to handle ✔ Affectionate without being clingy When left alone, they simply curl up together and nap until their people return. Their favourite activities include cuddling on soft blankets, spending time with their humans, relaxing in the yard, and heading out on nature walks (or stroller rides). They have done wonderfully with the resident dogs in their foster home. They happily share space, go for walks together, and often snuggle up alongside them. They are not tested with cats. Older, gentle, dog-savvy children would be best. Cera is comfortable around children, but Ducky prefers calm and respectful interactions. Due to his mobility challenges, a home without toddlers or grabby little hands is ideal. They are friendly and welcoming with new people. Ducky has a possible chicken allergy and requires a chicken-free diet. He also has a suspected neurological condition, likely IVDD, which affects one of his back legs. He currently takes a mild pain medication and uses a stroller for walks. While his mobility should be monitored as he ages, he continues to live a happy, active life and enjoys all the things that make dogs happy. 🐾 Both Ducky and Cera are currently working toward healthier weights, and their future family should be committed to helping them continue their wellness journey through regular exercise and appropriate portion management. 🌟 Their Perfect Home: Cera and Ducky are looking for a calm, loving home where they can continue enjoying life together. They don't need endless excitement or constant activity. What they really want is a cozy bed, daily walks, plenty of affection, and people who appreciate the joy of sharing life with two incredibly sweet little dogs. In return, you'll receive double the cuddles, double the kisses, double the companionship, and the privilege of witnessing one of the sweetest canine love stories we've ever seen. And as a bonus, you'll probably become known around the neighbourhood as "the people with the stroller Chihuahua"—a title Ducky wears with pride. 🐾 If you're ready to open your heart to a bonded pair that is equal parts adorable, affectionate, and easy-going, Cera and Ducky are ready to meet you. Because true love is hard to find. Luckily, these two already found each other. ❤️ If you're interested in meeting Cera and Ducky, please complete an application: https://www.ruffstartanimalrescue.com/dog-application-form
