Story
HI - I'M RUDY. I'm a 15-year-old chihuahua weighing only 7.8 lbs. I was recently saved from a shelter with some younger dogs that sort of look like me. I was extremely scared there, too. I am not a happy guy - I will growl and lower my head and stay away from you. Most likely, I've never known love in my life. I'm currently in a foster home, but anyone who adopts me will need to have patience, and let me come out of my shell in my own time. I possibly was left outside in a backyard all the time and as a result, I am fearful of people. I cannot be in a home with children, who may try to pick me up. Basically, I'm a special needs dog due to my fearful temperament, and I need a special adopter. If you can help Rudy, please email for an application.

Story
MEET IRIS! Iris is a 3-year-old, 8-lb chihuahua mix who recently had 3 puppies! They are all soon ready for adoption. Iris was saved from a shelter and was pretty frightened, but now she is doing much better. She would do best in a quiet home with a patient person or people, who will let her come out of her shell. She is pretty bonded to Henry, a scared border terrier mix who also needs a home. Please email for an application.

Story
MEET LARRY & MO! This bonded pair of 1-year-old Chihuahua-mix brothers needs a forever home! They were rescued from a shelter not too long ago and now are in a foster home. They are great with other dogs and a love with people, too. They can be shy at first but warm up quickly. They look almost identical, except Larry is 21 lbs and Mo is 13 lbs. We want to keep them together - they have been through a lot in their short lives and they love each other. Please email for an application.

Story
HI - I'M KELSIE! I'm a 1-year-old sweet and shy Chihuahua in need of a new home. I was rescued from a scary shelter, and now am in a foster home, where I especially enjoy the company of large dogs, as they give me a sense of security. I'm not really a lap dog -- yet -- because I'm quite shy, and I am not a fan of being picked up. I pretty much will stick to myself and I do not have accidents when left alone so far. So I would do best in a quiet home with a single person or a couple - a dog-savvy owner who can let me come to them when I am ready. I'm not used to a collar or leash but that may change in time. I weigh only 8 pounds and am an overall easy dog to have around. Please email for an application.

Story
HI - I'M DUSTIN! I'm a sweet 7-year-old Chihuahua in need of a new home. I weigh only 8 pounds. I'm very much a lap dog and cuddler, so I will want to be with you and snuggle and possibly even share your bed. I'm quiet, low maintenance, easy going and I get along great with other dogs, too. I was rescued from a shelter where I was impounded as a stray. My previous owners never came for me, which broke my heart but now I'm in a foster home. Please email for an application.
