Izzy is a sweet 11-year-old Chihuahua mix searching for her perfect retirement home. She is affectionate yet independent—an ideal companion for someone looking for a loyal, low-maintenance friend.

Story
I am a 76 year old woman with a 2 year old toy poodle. She has some impulse control and other behavior issues and needs a lot of work. May 30th, my dear friend and roommate died unexpectedly. I rescued her 3 year old chihuahua.Since Mars was only trained on pee pads, was unmanageable on walks, and exhibited growly and snappy behavior as is common to Chihuahuas, I was afraid that she was unadoptable. I did not want her to be killed. Since May, we have made great strides with 2 sessions with a professional trainer and lots of time on my part. This dog is now completely trained to go potty outside. I have also found easy and gentle ways to circumvent her refusals to put on a harness, which had been my major difficulty. And during walks, her behavior of barking at other dogs has improved by at least 75%. I find it too hard to carry on with the stress and care of two manageable but time and energy intensive dogs. Plus, I have had 2 dog-related loss of balance and falls with 1 injury.

Story
Marzi is a petite 9-lb Chihuahua mix looking for a patient, understanding home. She has been through a lot of change and is still learning to trust.. She can be affectionate, smart, and full of love on her own terms. She enjoys daily walks and beach outings, where she loves to explore and can be found playing with her foster sister, Zara a toy poodle. Marzi is food-motivated and knows several commands like sit, down, stay, and wait. She has been working hard on her house-training and has made progress adapting to new routines. She thrives on positive reinforcement and consistency. Marzi can be shy/reactive around strangers, other dogs, loud noises, or when she feels her space is invaded. Because of this, she needs an adult-only home with adopters who are experienced with anxious dogs. She takes daily medication (Prozac and Trazodone) that helps her stay calm. She would do best in a quieter environment. Ideally, she will do best in an environment where she is the only dog.

Story
Hi there! My name is Estelle and I'm an 8-year-old, spayed Chihuahua that currently weighs about 10lbs. I'm a friendly older lady that still has some pep in my step! I sometimes start off on the timid side, but I warm up to people quickly. To be honest, I prefer the company of humans to other dogs but could get along with a dog friend if they are small and mellow like me. I'm looking to live the retirement life. I enjoy napping in the sun, going for strolls, and being pampered by my humans. I still enjoy running around the yard every now and then when I'm not busy being a lap warmer. If you would like more information about me, just ask Customer Service about Estelle ID# A978066Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.
