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.

Woof Woof- I'm Gordo! I am a 5-month-old, neutered male, Min Pin/Chihuahua that currently weighs around 11lbs. I will be about 15lbs when fully grown.

I am looking for a family that will help continue my canine education, so I can be the best little man ever! Since I am still learning about the world, I prefer to live with teens and older. I absolutely love dogs and I would love to meet the entire family, including any resident dogs before joining my new pack. Do I sound like the bee's knees?
