Obi would love an active family, where he gets lots of attention and exercise. Apply to meet him at adoptocpets.org/adopt

Story
Meet 1 year old, 14 lb Chihuahua/Pug mix, Peanut. Peanut came to rescue from the lobby of a local shelter, where he was being given up. Peanut is high-energy, outgoing, and extremely active. Peanut is still learning to deal with other dogs. He likes to bark at new people and large dogs on walks. Thus, he will do best as an only dog with lots of attention, enrichment, and playtime in a quiet home. Because of his anxiety around unknown factors, he will not do well in an apartment, condo, or other high-density housing situation—or with young children.

Story
Hi, I’m Calyx! I’m a 10monthold Terrier/Chihuahua mix (born 06/08/2025), weighing in at a perfect little 10 pounds — just the right size for snuggles, adventures, and being carried around like the royalty I clearly am. I look a lot like the terrier side of my family, complete with the cutest scruffy face that gives me maximum personality points. I’m playful, affectionate, and full of charm. I love toys, sunbathing, splashing in the water, and playing with other dogs. I also adore being picked up and getting all the pets — I’m happiest when I’m close to my people. And don’t let my size fool you… I can keep up with the big dogs just fine. I’m already spayed, vaccinated, dewormed, and microchipped. I’m still working on my potty training since I’m young, but I’m learning more every day. More than anything, I’m dreaming of the day I finally meet my forever family — maybe that’s you. If you’re interested in meeting or adopting Calyx, please visit www.LOLR.org and fill out an adoption application. ##2425539##

Female, Senior
Trabuco Canyon, CA
Size

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sassy is a sweet 6 pound Senior Chihuahua. Sassy is a silver fox but she gets around. She is a cuddlier and would love to sit on someone’s lap or lay next to them all day. She has gone blind but she is resilient and finds her way to her food and around the grass to do her business. She is not a barker. Not once. If she wants something or needs to go out, she lets you know with a sweet cry. She gets along with other friendly docile dogs and has never snapped or been unkind. She belonged to an elderly lady who has had to go into assisted living due to memory issues and is no longer able to care for Sassy. If you want a little dog that doesn’t do much (other than sleep, eat, and cuddle), Sassy is the perfect companion for you!

Story
Meet Milo! Milo is a sweet boy who needs a patient family willing to give him time to settle in. Having experienced abuse, he is initially shy and cautious around new people, but once he trusts you, he is incredibly loving and loyal. Milo gets along great with other dogs and would enjoy an active home with a yard and, ideally, a canine companion (though it's not required). Because of his timid nature, he is not suited for a home with young children. If you think Milo is the right fit for your family, please complete an adoption application at www.muttlycrew.org.
