Story
Meet Chief – A Gentle Soul in Need of a Patient, Loving Home Chief is a sweet brown Chihuahua who recently came into rescue with his two brothers, Delgado and Sweetheart, after their owner passed away. Currently unneutered and in need of some extra TLC, Chief is searching for a calm and understanding forever home where he can feel safe, secure, and loved at his own pace. Chief arrived with a skin condition and a very dry nose, but thanks to gentle care and treatment (including soothing coconut oil for his nose), he is on the mend. While his body is healing, his heart is still learning to trust. Chief is very sweet, but also anxious. He will come to you on his own terms, but sudden approaches or attempts to pick him up make him nervous, and he may express his fear through growling. Chief’s anxiety is compounded by the fact that his more outgoing siblings sometimes bully him, so he would benefit from a peaceful home where he can be the focus of gentle, patient attention. Despite his nervousness, Chief has shown he enjoys time outdoors once encouraged, exploring quietly and soaking in the fresh air. Chief is looking for a very special person or family who understands that trust takes time, and who can offer him the love, patience, and calm environment he needs to truly come out of his shell. Chief is currently being fostered in San Bernardino County, CA. For adoption inquiries, please email AlphaDogPetRescue@yahoo.com and ask for our adoption application

Story
Gidget is a five-year-old, 13-pound Chihuahua with a heart full of love and a personality that will steal yours. She was picked up by Riverside shelter as a stray and was terribly scared and shy, and would not come to anyone. Plus being a Black dog, no one showed interest in her and she was put on the euthenasia list... We stepped in to pull her, and after Gidget was given some space and time, she now comes to you and wants to be petted, held and is full of affection! Not once has she ever growled, shown her teeth or tried to bite. Gidget is incredibly loyal, intelligent, and brave—always curious and quick to warm up when she feels safe. She is a really good little companion girl! Gidget's the perfect combination of cuddly and playful, and she especially enjoys wrestling with other small dogs. She is quiet, well-mannered, and has a mellow, calming energy that makes her an ideal companion for a peaceful home. She is spayed, microchipped, up to date on her vaccinations, and fully dog-door trained. Gidget is currently in foster care in Victorville, CA, and is ready to find her forever home. Adoption fee: $350 To meet Gidget or request an adoption application, please email: Alphadogpetrescue@yahoo.com Give this little sweetheart a chance—you won’t regret it!

Story
Meet Sweetheart – and yes, he lives up to his name! Sweetheart is a handsome tan Chihuahua who recently came into rescue with his two Chihuahua brothers after their owner passed away. Currently unneutered and in need of a little extra TLC, Sweetheart is searching for a patient and loving home where he can feel safe and cherished once again. Though initially shy, Sweetheart has a gentle and affectionate soul. Once he feels secure, he loves to be touched, gives the sweetest kisses, and will happily come to you for affection. Sweetheart spends time kenneled with his brother Delgado, and they get along beautifully. They would be thrilled to stay together in a forever home, but Sweetheart would also thrive with a family who can give him the love, patience, and gentle care he deserves. Sweetheart enjoys outdoor adventures, sniffing around the yard, and exploring at his own pace. With time and love, he will blossom into a loyal and loving companion who will make a wonderful addition to a quiet and patient family. Sweetheart is currently being fostered in San Bernardino County, CA. For adoption inquiries, please email AlphaDogPetRescue@yahoo.com and ask for our adoption application

He’s a charming little character who loves to explore his surroundings and delights in being touched and cuddled, rewarding you with his sweet kisses. Delgado spends time kenneled with his brother Sweetheart, and they get along beautifully. They would be thrilled to stay together in a forever home, but Delgado would also thrive with a family who can give him the love, patience, and gentle care he deserves.
