Story
(I'm being fostered in the East Bay)Cheddar is a small, adorable chihuahua-pug? mix. She can be shy at first with new folks and new dogs, but as we have exposed her to more friendly two-legged and four-legged friends she has gotten much more outgoing and warms up very quickly. She absolutely loves her people though, and her favorite thing is a warm lap for snuggling, preferable under a blanket. She is a playful, curious, social little girl. Cheddar is working on her house training and almost exclusively pees in the backyard as long as she is taken out regularly. Her poops are hit and miss - many times outside, sometimes inside when the mood strikes. But she's getting better with more oversight and reward for outside #2s. She's very food motivated which is great for training. There is nothing she loves more than getting her "tinky treat" for going potty outside. Cheddar is a very small, slender girl and therefore can be a bit fragile. I don't think a home with young children would work unless they are VERY gentle. Also, Cheddar can be vocal when she gets too excited and her bark is very loud and piercing. We're working on her manners and ways to channel her energy when she gets over-excited. However, I also don't think that apartment living would be feasible for her unless you have very understanding neighbors. Cheddar was diagnosed with a heart murmur and enlarged heart when she was just a baby, most likely due to a hole in her heart's septum. Over time it has improved significantly and other than the fairly prominent heart murmur, she has no symptoms and should live a normal life. We would recommend a cardiology follow up in about a year to check on her status, but most likely she will not need further intervention beyond that. In fact, the hole may seal up entirely as she continues to grow. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: Black Weight: 7.16 Age: 0yrs 5mths 1wks

Story
My name is Mongo and I'm a bouncy, energetic little pup with a switch that is always turned to "ON." I am a Chihuahua mix after all, which means I love my family fiercely and will let everyone know. I might start out a little reserved at first with new people but can learn to warm up over time. I will want to spend all of my time being around my people and go where they go. Despite my size, I think I'm much bigger than I actually am and will show off my athletic grace, jumping up and down and all around. I will have no problem being the center of attention in my new home, sharing my zest for life! Primary Color: Tri Color Weight: 4.54 Age: 0yrs 0mths 12wks

Story
Playful, athletic, fun, loving pups! Although small in size they are big in personality. These pups will thrive in an active home that has time for socialization and consistent training. Magnolia's foster shared the following: Magnolia (nickname Mouse) is a sweet and easy going little darling. One of the smallest in the litter, she runs and wrestles just as hard as her siblings, but she is the first to head to bed for a nap and the last to get up. She likes to curl up in my lap while the rest are still jumping around. Born and raised with love in foster homes, she is friendly, curious, clever, adventurous, playful, and affectionate. Magnolia adores the resident terrier (while respecting his boundaries) and has hung out with a giant Bernese Mountain dog without fear. She's had a play yard with all kinds of objects and materials to climb and play with, and supervised free play in the garden, which has made her confident when going about the world. She shows no anxiety and easily shares her food and toys. She is learning to come on command and is very treat motivated. She has very short sleek fur and is all white except for her ear.
