Story
DUE TO AN INFLUX OF APPLICATIONS WE WILL ONLY BE CALLING THE APPROVED APPLICATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. Norm is a sweet, sensitive little Chihuahua with a gentle soul and a kind heart. This tiny guy may be small in size, but he has so much love to give to the right person. Norm just needs a patient human who understands that trust takes time and is willing to respect his space and boundaries while he settles in.Once he feels safe and comfortable, Norm's true personality shines. He's a loyal companion who forms strong bonds and enjoys being near his people. He has previously lived successfully with other Chihuahua friends and may do well with a calm, respectful canine companion.Because of his sensitive nature, Norm would do best in a home without small children. A quieter environment where he can relax, adjust at his own pace, and build confidence will help him thrive. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 3.8 Age: 0yrs 8mths 1wks

Story
Please note - Hank is IN FOSTER and is not viewable in the Centre. Please put in an application and we will call the APPROVED application. Thanks! Hank is the total package when it comes to a canine companion. This sweet little guy is incredibly cuddly and affectionate with his people, and he has wonderful social skills with other dogs. Whether he's soaking up snuggles on the couch or making new dog friends, Hank is happiest when he's part of the action.He finds joy in the simple things-dinner time excitement, exploring the backyard, and greeting his favorite humans when they walk through the door. His enthusiasm for everyday moments is truly heartwarming.Hank can be a bit wary of new people entering his space at first, but with a little patience (and a few tasty treats!), he warms up nicely and builds trust quickly. For a small dog, he has an impressive amount of confidence and would thrive either in a home with other dogs or as a solo pup soaking up all the attention.He is fully house-trained and has excellent home manners. Hank is comfortable relaxing in his kennel when left alone, but he's just as happy being loose in the house, lounging on the couch or curling up in his favorite bed.

DUE TO AN INFLUX OF APPLICATIONS WE WILL ONLY BE CALLING THE APPROVED APPLICATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. Tula is a darling little Chihuahua with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love. Like many sensitive pups, she appreciates a calm, patient home where her space and boundaries are respected as she gets comfortable. Once she feels safe, Tula blossoms into a devoted, affectionate companion who enjoys being close to her person.Tula has a condition called cherry eye, which is common in small breeds. The good news is she already has a surgical appointment scheduled to correct it, and with proper care she's expected to do beautifully. She'll just need a family committed to following through with her care and giving her the TLC she deserves during recovery.Because of her petite size and sensitive nature, Tula would do best in a home without small children. A quieter environment will allow her to relax, build confidence, and truly thrive. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 5 Age: 1yrs 6mths 2wks

DUE TO AN INFLUX OF APPLICATIONS WE WILL ONLY BE CALLING THE APPROVED APPLICATION. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE. Naz is an adorable Chihuahua puppy with the perfect mix of confidence and sweetness. While he may take a little time to fully warm up, he's a brave little guy who's more outgoing than some of his pals. He'll greet you with tiny tail wags and the cutest little nose boops - his way of saying, "I think we're going to be friends."Once he feels comfortable, Naz loves to snuggle up cozy on your lap and soak in all the affection. He's still a puppy, though, so he comes with that fun, busy energy! He enjoys exploring, playing, and discovering the world around him, and he'll thrive with a family ready to guide him as he grows.Naz would do best with patient adopters who understand that even confident puppies need time, consistency, and positive reinforcement to blossom into their best selves.

This little guy may be petite, but his capacity for love (and being pampered) is absolutely enormous.Grizzly loves gentle cuddles, cozy blankets, and being carried around like the royalty he clearly believes he is. If he is really excited, he will walk on his back legs and give you a wave and a smile. If you're looking for a shadow who will happily follow you from room to room and soak up every ounce of affection, Grizzly is your guy.He does currently have a cherry eye and is awaiting surgery to repair it, along with his neuter. Once that's taken care of, he'll be feeling his very best and ready to fully embrace his spoiled-pet lifestyle. Sometimes Grizzly takes a minute to warm up and be sure you are trust worthy but once he does he is FULL of chihuahua charm!Grizzly is hoping to find a home where it can be all about him. A place where he can be doted on, adored, and treated like the tiny prince he truly is. He would thrive in a calm home where he can be the center of attention and receive all the snuggles, soft beds, and baby talk his heart desires.If you're ready to open your home (and your lap) to a tiny royal with a huge heart, Grizzly is waiting to rule your world. 💕 Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 7.3 Age: 5yrs 0mths 2wks

Story
🐾✨ Meet Haneui — A Calm, Gentle, and Affectionate Little Lady ✨🐾 📍 Location: Korea 🇰🇷 (able to fly once adopted ✈️) 🐶 Name: Haneui 🎂 Age: 5 years (estimated, born 2021) ♀️ Gender: Female (spayed) ⚖️ Weight: 7 kg (approx. 15 lb) 🐕 Breed: Long-haired Chihuahua × Dachshund mix (estimated) 🎨 Color: Black & White --- 🧡 Personality & Social Skills Haneui is a very gentle, people-loving dog with a soft and affectionate nature. She enjoys human companionship and often approaches first to ask for pets. 👩 With women: Excellent — friendly and trusting 👨 With men: Very good — no fear; at a short-term foster home, she bonded most closely with the dad 👶 With kids: Excellent — does well with kindergarten- and elementary-age children; allows handling and walks calmly even when a child holds the leash 🐶 With dogs: On walks, she may feel nervous around unfamiliar dogs and prefer to turn back if they approach. However, with dogs she lives with, she adjusts over time and coexists peacefully. 🐱 With cats: No direct experience yet. She may be slightly cautious at first. --- 🏠 Energy Level & Lifestyle Haneui has a low energy level and enjoys a calm, relaxed routine. She’s well suited for apartment living and quieter households. --- 🚽 Habits & Training ✔ Fully house-trained ✔ Can potty both indoors and outdoors ✔ If taken outside regularly, she prefers outdoor potty and will wait patiently ✔ Crate-trained and comfortable in a crate --- 🖐 Handling & Touch Haneui loves being touched and cuddled. She often comes over on her own asking to be petted and enjoys close contact with her people. --- 🔊 Barking Tendencies She may bark briefly when: Other animals nearby bark The doorbell rings A stranger first enters the home Once she adjusts, she stops barking and often approaches visitors calmly. Aside from these situations, she is generally very quiet. --- 🍽 Food & Health Notes Medical history: Heartworm (treated), past pancreatitis Diet: Must eat a pancreatitis-friendly prescription diet Treats: Limited — snack restriction required Appetite: Strong food motivation When other animals are present, she may eat quickly or guard food → Separated feeding is recommended She may pick up dropped human food, so supervision is needed --- 🐕 Leash Walking & Travel ✔ Walks very well with a collar and leash ✔ Rides well in cars (may pant slightly but remains calm) --- 🚪 Escape Tendencies Low overall risk, but in frightening situations, caution is advised and secure handling is recommended. --- 🧸 Destructive Behavior Rare when alone. Occasionally mimics other dogs’ behavior (e.g., tearing pee pads or tissues), but nothing severe. --- 🏡 Home Environment ✔ Apartment-friendly ✔ Yard not required ✔ Can live with other dogs (with proper adjustment time) --- 🌈 Rescue Story Haneui was found wandering alone in a rural village and taken to Iksan City Animal Shelter, where euthanasia is practiced. Thanks to rescue intervention, she was saved and given a second chance at life. Now, this sweet and quiet girl is patiently waiting for a forever family to call her own. --- 💛 Haneui is looking for a loving home where she can enjoy gentle affection, calm companionship, and a safe routine. If you’re searching for a small, affectionate, low-energy dog with a kind heart, Haneui may be the perfect match. 🐾
