Story

Lea was rescued as a puppy in early 2012. She loves to be pet and to go for walks, and would thrive as the only pet in a home. She does not get along with cats, and can be territorial when dealing with them. She hasn’t hurt our cats, but we also don’t want to risk it so we keep them separated most of the time. In our experience, she gets along with other small dogs for the most part, but it’s on a case by case basis (some animals just don’t get along). Unfortunately, due to our living situation, it would be best for us and Lea if we could find her a new home.

Story

Onyx is a beautiful 4-year-old, 11-lb black and white Chihuahua with a soft medium-length coat and an even softer heart. This sweet girl has been an incredible mama to her five puppies after being heartbreakingly discarded with them in a sealed bag in an alley. Thanks to a good samaritan who heard the puppies crying, Onyx and her babies were saved—and now it’s Onyx’s turn to find the loving home she deserves. Onyx is fully potty trained, knows her basic commands, and truly shines when it comes to cuddling. She’s a total snuggle bug who adores soft flannel sheets and fluffy blankets and will happily curl up beside you once she feels safe. She does have a bit of a diva side (as any proper Chihuahua should!), which just adds to her charm. She does best in a quieter home with less coming and going, as she prefers a slower pace and benefits from a gentle warm-up with new people. Onyx loves other dogs and enjoys their companionship, though she may appreciate slow, thoughtful introductions as she settles in. Onyx would thrive with a patient, loving adopter who understands her need for security and calm—and who is ready to spoil her with cozy blankets and lots of affection. After everything she’s been through, this devoted mama is ready to be someone’s cherished companion. Adoption fee is $400 and includes her spay, microchip, vaccines/deworming/flea treatment current.
