Story

Silly, goofy, confident, lap dog, loves balls/toys, and fully housetrained - that is how Foster Mom describes me. Personally, I like the lap dog part quite a bit. I'm Que, around 9 years old, and a perfect 16 pounds of snuggly goodness. My foster mom recently said that I am 'such a sweetheart. Has lots of energy, loves to greet you at the door and is so happy you are home. Loves his toys to play with on his own or with you.' Awwww - shucks. I am so lucky. I live with her pooches and love my canine friends, too. We get along great. New people can cause some anxiety - when you are small, it's hard to know if people are friend or foe, you know? But, once I know you? I love you. It's really that simple. A while ago, I lost my human family and ended up in the shelter. I had dental issues (all clear now!), skin issues (all clear now!), hadn't been neutered (all gone now!), and was so grumpy that the vet couldn't even examine me (much better now!). Basically? My prior owners didn't take good care of me. TLRD fixed all of that and now I am like a different dog. There is only one thing that could be better in my life...you.My foster mom says that I am an excellent dog for someone who works from home or is just a homebody in general. I love to be around my people and am very snuggly without being needy. Please apply today so that you can learn what a love bug I am!July 26, 2024, 9:59 pm

Champ - Adopt Me!

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Need a dog that gets along with dogs, cats, humans - pretty much everyone and everything - and also walks well on leash and loves to snuggle? That's me, Champ! I’m 13.5 lbs. and 14 years old, and my favorite things are walks, curling up in a blanket next to you on the couch, and naps. I am still figuring out toys but when I am really excited, I like to play with toys that do not have loud squeaks. On walks, I am calm and serene - not at all bothered by what might be going on outside (dogs, bikes, other people, etc.), as befits my age. I am appropriately wary of certain loud sounds and of new places; when it is dark it's harder for me to see. My foster says I'm the sweetest boy ever and would be a great addition to your family.July 26, 2024, 9:59 pm

Chihuahua Miniature Pinscher

Story

Hi - my name is Duey! I am four-year-old male Chihuahua mix. According to my DNA test, I'm 57% Chihuahua, 14% Miniature Pinscher, 8% Shih Tzu, 5% Maltese, 5% Cocker Spaniel, 4% Bichon Frise, 3% Toy Poodle, 2% Pomeranian, and 2% Chinese Shar-Pei. According to my foster family, I am 100% adorable and sweet. I was found abandoned as a puppy in a desert town in Arizona with three of my siblings. They actually had to get a specialist to trap us and it took multiple times to catch us because we were smart and, honestly, pretty scared of humans after being so alone like that. While I still take time to warm up to new people, I want their attention and especially, walks!!! I’m a really sweet and loving dog once you let me get to know you. I am also a one-of-a-kind silly boy with lots of leaps, skips, funny sounding barks (only when I’m super happy— I’m not a big barker), and doggie dances that show you how happy I am! I am also a great friend to other friendly dogs of all sizes and ages (and friendly with bunnies too, so probably would be fine with cats)! I’d actually do best in a home with another well-socialized and confident companion dog (or two or three!) because that is the fastest way to get me to trust the humans in the house and learn all the house rules — I copy the dogs! So, if you are willing to be patient with me to reap the huge rewards of watching me come out of my shell to feel safe and loved in your home as my forever family -- which means you will get to see my sweet silliness and it will make you laugh -- then you should pick me!

Tom Cruise

Chihuahua

Good with dogs,

Story

Hey there, I'm Tom Cruise! Yep, just like the famous actor—I may be short, but I do my own stunts and exude inexplicable confidence. Some say I'm getting up there in age, but I beg to differ—age is just a number, right? I'd say my number is maybe 12, but who's counting? Despite my past pampering, my owner suddenly disappeared from my life, leaving me to navigate the world on my own. But hey, I'm making the best of it and working hard to fit in wherever I can. I'm quick, athletic, and maybe just a tad sneaky. With great eyesight and hearing, I'm always ready for action. While I'm cool with other dogs, I prefer to be myself or maybe the only pup in the place. I'm perfectly content cuddling up on your lap, next to you, or even around your neck—wherever you'll have me! While I love all people, I have a soft spot for older, active folks who appreciate just how awesome I am. I've got a lot to offer and I'm ready for my comfy second act. So what do you say? Ready to pick me and fill out that application today? Let's make it happen! If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E. Dog Rescue website and complete an adoption application: www.icaredogrescue.org/ready-to-adopt Adoption fee includes: spay/neuter • shots up to date • micro-chip • fecal and vet check Breeds and age are not guaranteed.

Story

Meet Penelope! Penelope is a sweet and spunky approximately two-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix. She is mostly black all over except for a very unique white stripe down on her back that makes her look like skunk, hence her full name, Penelope Le Pew! Penelope has a bit of stranger danger but within seconds (and a few treats) she will warm up to you and hop right in your lap. Once you’re trusted you’re in, and all she wants is to cuddle and have her belly rubbed! She is potty trained, crate trained, wears a harness on walks, rides great in the car, and knows a few basic commands. She is good with other dogs big and small after a proper introduction, cats have not been tested. She loves playtime with any possible dog toy, and the occasional stolen sock. Penelope would do well in a home with another playful dog, big or small, or with an owner that can devote time to her. I’d describe her as a medium energy dog with a lot of love to give. She will spend the majority of the day cuddled by your side with a spontaneous invite to play for a few minutes and then she’s right back to snuggling. If Penelope sounds like a good match, get your application in today! If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E.

Story

Meet Bluey! He is a three-year-old Chihuahua mix who is a delightful companion who loves to shadow his humans around the house. He started off a bit shy when he first joined his foster family, but with time and a lots of love, he's been blossoming into a wonderful companion dog. Although still a bit reserved around new faces, Bluey's affectionate nature shines through once he feels comfortable. He enjoys the company of other dogs and finds comfort in their presence. He is learning the basics and has been doing well with potty training. Bluey loves snoozing alongside our other furry friends in a spacious playpen at night. The ideal home for Bluey is with a patient and caring family willing to give him the time and space he needs to feel secure. He cherishes spending time with other dogs and would fit wonderfully into a home with a doggy companion or one where someone is around often. He's open to being an only dog, especially if his new family works from home or can dedicate ample time to him. If you're looking for a sweet, shy, yet affectionate companion, Bluey might be the perfect addition to your family! If you are interested in adopting, please visit the I.C.A.R.E.
