Story
This dreamboat of a Chihuahua, was camped out under a business for several days. There was a lot of coaxing to get him out, and eventually he did land himself in a trap. Once he was brought to the shelter, the most pleasant, friendly and sweet little dog emerged! He is calm, mellow, and just wants to be with people. He has the aura of an old soul. Although he is OK with the dogs that he has met, he seems to feel more of an affiliation to people. He will be a wonderful companion!

Story
***BONDED PAIR WITH GROMIT*** LONG TERM FOSTER NOTES: "I am currently fostering Wallace and Gromit. Since I'm going to college in August, I would love to find them their forever home. Since being with me, I have seen Wallace and Gromit go from being so fearful of everything to being curious and loving doggies. Wallace is the the most scared compared to Gromit, but he loves being around my dog Dahlia and hanging out with me when I watch tv. He's so sweet and gentle, and deserves to go to a home where he can continue to come out of his shell. Gromit loves his snuggles in front of the fireplace. His favorite activities are hanging out in the sun and playing with his toys. Both Wallace and Gromit have grown quite fond of my big dog Dahlia. The three love playing together and going on in my front yard to bird watch. I'm sad that I have to give them back, but I can't wait for them to come out of their shells and be loving and trusting doggies. I know the family they go to will love them and be patient with them as they start the next chapter in their life." One of two shy brothers who came up from Bakersfield, though were not at all adoption candidates, Basically close to feral upon arrival - they had been trapped.... poor little guys, never had the kindness or comforts of a loving home, or caring people. Wallace and Gromit need to be adopted together....slowly they are coming out of their shells, learning to trust! WE welcome volunteers to come sit with them and offer cheese, hot dogs, tasty morsels....and love!

Story
Blossom and Buttercup are two Chihuahua/Pomeranian mixes, with mild mobility and sight impairments. (We have their DNA results!) Their amazing foster says: "They are super sweet. Child friendly and literally never bark. They love to wrestle one another and play tug while sitting in your lap. They are also very cuddly and love to be held. They are receptive to training. They were doing really good with sit, buttercup could also stay to some degree. They get around pretty well. they cannot go down stairs, but can go up. I do think there could be some vision problems with the smaller one. She is pretty wall eyed and will sometimes seem surprised by sudden movements or something near her face. When they were younger they had a strange gait, but I think it's getting better. Unfortunately they seem to have pretty sensitive tummies. Whomever adopts them should keep this in mind and be careful not to give them too many training treats." These are special girls who deserve an extra-special home will has the patience and time to help them through their physical issues. They are very loving and sweet but need some extra TLC. It would be great for them to be adopted together. ($400 joint adoption)

Story
Sport is a darling brindle chihuahua mix with the most amazing ears. He is still trying to find his way in this world and could use an adult, experienced foster home. Although skittish, fear does not completely rule Sport. He is good on-leash and good with people. When approached slowly with deference and caution, he can be cooperative and friendly. He just needs quiet time with one person at a time to build trust. After a lot of very gentle TLC and patience, and his favorite treats, he will be a great companion.
