Hi, I'm Khloe and I'm an 11 year old chihuahua mix. I'm here at the Santa Barbara campus waiting for my new people to come and bring me home. I would like a quiet home, as I'm an older gal and enjoy my naps. I do like going for walks and spending time with my people. I'm used to being the only pet in the home and getting all the attention for myself. If you have been looking for a small canine companion, please come in and visit with me today! Interested in meeting me? Adoption Centers are open daily 12-4:30pm, closed Wednesdays. Adoptions are on a first-come first served basis. For more information please email Adopt@SBHumane.org or call 805-964-4777. When I am adopted, I will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. My adopters will receive a certificate for a free veterinary exam and our partners at Purina will provide a supply of food for my first few days at home.

Story
Hi! My name is Cordelia and I'm at the Santa Barbara Campus. I'm a 5 year old female Chihuahua mix. When I arrived at SB Humane, I had a painful eye condition and the veterinarians here determined that removing my eye was the best option. I bounced right back from surgery, am pain free, and ready for a new home. I'm friendly with all people, quiet, good with other dogs, and I ride quietly in the car. I'm a great size because I'm small enough to be carried but study enough to go on walks! Interested in meeting me? Adoption Centers are open daily 12-4:30pm, closed Wednesdays. Adoptions are on a first-come first served basis. For more information please email Adopt@SBHumane.org or call 805-964-4777. When I am adopted, I will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped.

Introducing the one and only Shadow, the tricolor and black Chihuahua mix with a smooth coat and a personality that`s larger than life! This tiny ball of fur may be small in size, weighing in at a mere 5.20 lbs, but don`t let that fool you. Shadow has more spunk and sass than a Hollywood diva!Now, don`t you dare underestimate Shadow`s age. The shelter staff may think he`s about 7 years old, but this little guy has the energy and spirit of a pup who just discovered a brand new chew toy. Age is just a number, my friends, and Shadow is proving that every day.Oh, did I mention that Shadow is currently lounging in a foster home? That`s right! This little charmer has been impressing the shelter folks with his irresistible charm and quirky antics. They`ve got all the insider info on Shadow, so don`t hesitate to ask about him. Trust me, you won`t be disappointed.Since August 01, 2023, Shadow has been eagerly awaiting his forever home. He`s been practicing his puppy dog eyes and perfecting his `take me home` dance routine. All he needs is that special someone who can appreciate his unique blend of cuteness and sass.So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch with the shelter and ask about Shadow. Give this pint-sized superstar the chance to shine in your home and steal your heart. But be warned, once you meet him, there`s no turning back. Prepare for a lifetime of laughter, love, and endless cuddles with the one and only Shadow!
