Story
This is Teddy, his is almost six years old and is a chihuahua mix. We got him in 2020 right after Covid and he is a bit of a Covid dog and unfortunately is unsocialized. My family and I have a very busy schedule so we not able to take him to dog parks as much as we would like to and that led to him having some behavioral and barking problems. He’s a sweet boy once he meets you but he does bark. We unfortunately didn’t have the funds to send him to behavior camp. We just moved and unfortunately neighbors are complaining about his barking. I’m very sad to have to give him away but i have no other choice. Please take good care of him. Thank you

I'm Tilly, a tiny bundle of sunshine with big ears, a bigger heart, and all the floofy charm you'll ever need! I'm all wiggles, tail wags, and happy prances. I love trotting around to explore new places, bouncing after toys, and curling up in your lap the second you sit down. I'm full of puppy sparkle, sweet snuggles, and that classic Chihuahua sass that keeps every day exciting. Think you're ready for a pocket-sized best friend who'll adore you endlessly?

Story
Peach is a 9-year-old female Chihuahua mix whom I adopted in 2021 when she was estimated to be 5 years old. She is an incredibly loving, cuddly, and sweet companion who is beloved by everyone who knows her. Temperament: Peach, unlike many chihuahuas, rarely barks! She loves people and is wonderful with gentle children. She thrives on attention and absolutely loves getting belly rubs from visitors. She has good energy for her age—she can walk for 45 minutes and still chases squirrels enthusiastically—though she’s not particularly playful with toys. Social behavior: She gets along well with dogs of all sizes, especially males, as long as they approach her gently and don’t make her feel threatened. She can be a bit reactive to dogs that approach too quickly on the street, but she’s actually quite playful with calm dogs like our neighbor’s elderly golden retriever. Health: Overall good; needs dental care

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereThis 7-year-old, 7-pound Chihuahua mix may be tiny, but she’s got a brave little heart. Cori is a gentle, shy girl who takes a little time to warm up, but once she does, she’s an absolute darling. She’s content being held, gets along well with other small dogs, and even handled her nail trim like a champ! Cori is a tripawd but she gets around just fine. She’d love a cozy spot to relax and would thrive in a patient, quiet home where she can build trust at her own pace. A dental is on her to-do list, but this sweet senior is otherwise healthy and ready to find her snuggle buddy.

Story
I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereWe have learned that Gianna is very sweet even though she can be extremely shy at first. She came to the shelter with little training and is working on all of her skills including potty training, leash, walking and socialization. She takes many of her cues from the dogs in her foster household and would greatly benefit from being adopted by a household with a resident dog who is patient and playful. She takes her time to trust humans and is shy of most things in the world.  She enjoys spending time outside and has figured out how to use the dog door in her foster home. She is independent and likes to spend time by herself, but this may also be as she is wary of unfamiliar humans. She is still figuring out that toys are fun to play with and has a preference for chews and kongs for enrichment.  It will be fun to see Gianna build her confidence and thrive in her forever home as she learns her good dog behaviors and to trust her humans. Click here to learn how to adopt and submit your adoption questionnaire.December 4, 2025, 2:44 pm

Story
Meet a sweet, spirited Chiweenie looking for a fresh start. She’s affectionate, expressive, and full of personality — a soulful little dog who loves indoor snuggles, outdoor adventures, and bursts of playful energy. She’s also content to relax and enjoy quiet time. Her one challenge: she’s not house trained. This will require patience and a setup that can accommodate accidents. She’s not a fit for someone expecting a perfectly behaved pup, but she could thrive with someone experienced in rescue or willing to work with her quirks. If you’re looking for a loving companion and are open to helping her grow, she’ll reward you with loyalty, laughter, and lots of heart.
