Story
Minnie is an 8yr. old 'Chug'. She is incredibly affectionate, loyal, and happiest in a calm home where she can relax near her people all day. She loves to play, snuggle up on your lap and sleep under the covers for as long as possible. She has been with us for 6 yrs. but our home situation has changed and we need to find her a new loving home. Minnie is VERY food motivated, and treats are the quickest way to win her heart. Once she trusts you, she becomes deeply loving and devoted. Like many Chihuahuas, Minnie does have some fear/anxiety issues. She can be nervous around strangers and reactive toward other dogs, especially larger ones. Slow introductions, patience, and MANY TREATS help tremendously. Because of this, she would do best in a quieter adult home with someone experienced with small anxious dogs.Minnie is healthy, vaccinated, funny, snuggly, and full of personality. We love her deeply and want to find a home where she feels safe, understood, and adored

Story
I rescheduled Billy from a rescue with a companion 14 years ago , sadly she passed away a few months ago. He has had a difficult time since her passing very attached to me. He doesn’t like other dogs even when he was younger, going to the dog park he would always stay by my side. I take him for 3 walks a day feeding am and pm and he usually sleeps the rest of the time. His hearing and eyesight have decreased significantly due to age. He is a good boy I have him bathed once a month for the last 7 years. After he eats he gets a treat and when I leave him he gets several treats for him to find in a bowl and when I let him on the couch in the evening he gets a treat. He uses a harness he barks when strangers come in the house.

Story
Jetson is a chihuahua mix who weighs around 23 lbs (and could lose a pound or two). This little guy is a little nervous with new people, and needs to take things at his own pace, but with the right home, we know he will flourish. He enjoys sunshine, sniffy adventures, respectful small dog friends, and taking life one careful step at a time. He would do best in a quiet home without small children. Jetson walks well on leash and takes treats gently. He seems to be house trained and doesn't bark very much. He has also tested well with cats! He may not be ready to fly straight into your arms… but for the right person, this little guy is absolutely worth the journey.

Story
Cricket is an adorable spunky little 10 lb girl. She is a typical puppy in many ways and picking up training really quickly! She is definitely still a puppy and likes to chew on everything, so be prepared. Her full grown size will probably be around 15-25 lbs. Like all puppies, she will need a family committed to continued training, structure, and plenty of socialization as she grows. Puppies learn quickly but require patience, consistency, and guidance to become well-mannered adult dogs. Cricket is looking for a home ready for all the fun, work, and rewards that come with raising a puppy. Please be home every 3-4 hours during this important developmental state.
