Story
Peanut is a young, sweet, energetic dog who deserves a home that can give him time, attention, and consistency. He is about a year old with a very puppy-like personality. Peanut loves people, enjoys being close, and gets excited easily. His energy level is high and he loves play, praise, and interaction. Peanut is crate trained, good with kids and other pets, and has no health issues. He does best in a home where he is not left alone for long periods. If bored or lonely, he may chew random objects, get into things, or bark. He is not being destructive on purpose, he is simply curious and under-stimulated when left on his own. Peanut is still learning training skills. He gets distracted easily, so he does best when he has been tired out with play or exercise first. Words that describe him include energetic, playful, affectionate, curious, and eager to please.

Story
'Jack' Chihuahua male-6 yrs old, 7 lbsJack is a 7-lb,  6 yr old one-eyed Velcro pup who loves nothing more than snuggling under the covers with his person. When he came to us, Jack had been hit by a car and needed his eye removed and his fractured jaw repaired — but he has healed beautifully and is all heart. He’s sweet, sensitive, and settles after a little crying when left alone. Jack does great with small dogs but is not a fan of big dogs. He seems comfortable with kids and men; cats are unknown. He enjoys sunbathing, window-watching, and is still learning how to play with toys. Jack is potty trained but may always need a belly band due to periodic marking. He’s looking for a patient home that wants a loyal, cuddly shadow by their side.  If you want a tiny companion with a huge heart, Jack is your guy! 6 yrs old  - 7 lbsOur adoption fee through our rescue covers the dog being fully vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered, dewormed and flea treated.

Story
'Sammy' Chihuahua/Dachshund X-male-8 months old, 13 lbsAre you ready to welcome an intelligent, lively, loving puppy into your home? Meet Sammy! This 13-pound 8-month-old pup is full of personality and looking for a family to call his own. He’s an adventurer who loves to play and explore, and he’s sure to bring love and laughter into your home. Sammy’s mom is a sweet, highly intelligent Chihuahua-Dachshund mix weighing 14 lbs, but his dad is a mystery and most likely bigger than Sammy’s mom. Sammy is smart, and full of energy making him a great candidate for agility training. His ideal home would be a place with a good sized, securely fenced yard where he can burn off some of his puppy energy. He would also do well with a family that has time to spend with him whether it’s playing, learning tricks, or cuddling on the couch. If you’re looking for a clever, energetic companion that you are looking forward to spending time with, Sammy is your guy!

Story
'Gigi' Chihuahua, female-10 lbs, 4 yrs oldMeet Gigi! Gigi is a 4-year-old, 10-lb sweetheart who’s the perfect mix of cuddly companion and easygoing sidekick. She loves relaxing next to her person, going for car rides, taking walks, and soaking up all the love she can get. After coming from a home with many dogs, she’s ready for a life where she can finally be the center of someone’s attention—so she’d thrive as the only dog.  Gigi isn’t a yappy girl, but she’ll happily announce a passerby with a friendly window bark. She’s social with adults, respectful, and enjoys people who respect her boundaries. She has no separation anxiety and is content to nap while you’re out, greeting you joyfully when you return. She enjoys soft toys, small bones, and treats (“cookies!”), and isn’t destructive aside from occasionally de-stuffing a plushie. She eats kibble and Ollie fresh food without fuss, and she even loves being pampered—baths, brushing, little dresses, all of it.  Gigi would be the perfect match for someone wanting a quiet, loyal little shadow who sleeps in the bed, stays by your side, and blossoms with affection and quality time. She’s ready for her forever home and deserves the very best. Our adoption fee through our rescue covers the dog being fully vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered, dewormed and flea treated.

Story
'Charlie' Chihuahua X- male- 3 yr oldCharlie found himself in a predicament that he could have never imagined, as he lay on the cold, hard shelter floor in terrible pain from being shot in the spine. Confused, in agony, and terrified of his future, this small baby was starting to give up all hope. The bullet was still lodged in this poor baby’s spine. We quickly took him to the vet, hoping to provide this innocent soul some comfort and have the bullet removed. But during the surgery it was discovered that If the bullet was to be removed Charlie this could cause him to become a paraplegic for the rest of his life. Therefore leaving the bullet in allowes him to run and play with a bit of wobbliness, but better than risking becoming a paraplegic. For now, Chalie is safe and sound at his foster home bouncing around and playing with his foster siblings. Charlie has special needs... he needs help having his bowels and bladder expressed. This is VERY EASY to do and we will happily teach you. He would LOVE to have a playmate in his new home. Our adoption fee through our rescue covers the dog being fully vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered, dewormed and flea treated.
