Story
Urgent rehoming needed for female senior Chihuahua! Her caregiver has late stage Alzheimer’s Disease and is no longer able to care for her. 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 is mostly 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. 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 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.

Lake Forest, CA
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Brody – a gentle soul looking for his forever home. ❤️ Brody is a sweet, affectionate boy who may be a little shy when meeting new people, but once he gets to know you, his loving personality shines through. He can be sensitive to loud noises and new surroundings, so he's looking for a calm, patient family that will give him the time he needs to feel safe and secure. Brody would be happiest in a quiet home with either another calm, older dog or as your one and only companion. Because he prefers a peaceful environment, a home without young children would be the best fit. He also loves having his people nearby, so he'd thrive with someone who is home most of the time and can give him the companionship he craves. If you're looking for a loyal best friend who will reward your patience with unconditional love, Brody could be the perfect addition to your family. To meet Brody, please complete an adoption application at www.muttlycrew.org.
