Story
I am a 76 year old woman with a 2 year old toy poodle. She has some impulse control and other behavior issues and needs a lot of work. May 30th, my dear friend and roommate died unexpectedly. I rescued her 3 year old chihuahua.Since Mars was only trained on pee pads, was unmanageable on walks, and exhibited growly and snappy behavior as is common to Chihuahuas, I was afraid that she was unadoptable. I did not want her to be killed. Since May, we have made great strides with 2 sessions with a professional trainer and lots of time on my part. This dog is now completely trained to go potty outside. I have also found easy and gentle ways to circumvent her refusals to put on a harness, which had been my major difficulty. And during walks, her behavior of barking at other dogs has improved by at least 75%. I find it too hard to carry on with the stress and care of two manageable but time and energy intensive dogs. Plus, I have had 2 dog-related loss of balance and falls with 1 injury.

Story
Marzi is a petite 9-lb Chihuahua mix looking for a patient, understanding home. She has been through a lot of change and is still learning to trust.. She can be affectionate, smart, and full of love on her own terms. She enjoys daily walks and beach outings, where she loves to explore and can be found playing with her foster sister, Zara a toy poodle. Marzi is food-motivated and knows several commands like sit, down, stay, and wait. She has been working hard on her house-training and has made progress adapting to new routines. She thrives on positive reinforcement and consistency. Marzi can be shy/reactive around strangers, other dogs, loud noises, or when she feels her space is invaded. Because of this, she needs an adult-only home with adopters who are experienced with anxious dogs. She takes daily medication (Prozac and Trazodone) that helps her stay calm. She would do best in a quieter environment. Ideally, she will do best in an environment where she is the only dog.

Story
She is a Chihuahua mix and will be turning 4 in March. She weighs about 9 pounds. She is not altered but I hope her new ones will get her fixed. Shes very sweet and affectionate, but she is also skittish and doesn't get along well with other dogs or cats. She would be best suited for someone who works from home, is retired, or has a schedule that ensures someone is home with her. She doesn't bark much(will if someone knocks on the door) but she does whine when she's frustrated. She enjoys playing fetch with her favorite ball, chewing her rawhides, and cuddling. She's crate trained and enjoys laying in her kennel. She is a big love bug. She's really expressive and animated. She's truly the most adorable thing on the planet. She will come with food, bowls, raw hides, kennel with bed and blankets, harness, collar, leash, two carrying bags, puppy pads, Pet Genie w/bags (for puppy pads), a car seat, her toys, and a recent copy of her vaccination records. A small rehoming fee will apply.

Hi there, my name is Dominic! I'm a 3 year old, 11 lbs., neutered male Chihuahua mix. I'm a sweet little guy that likes to take his time getting to know new people. I may be shy to start off but once were friends, were friends 'till the end! I'm still working on my social skills and while I am it would be best if I was the only dog in the home at least for now. I'm a big fan of treats and they are definitely the way to my heart.  Dominic ID#A975298Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010.  You may call us at 650-340-7022 to schedule an appointment, or just drop by.

Simba is a gentle, affectionate little guy who deserves a stable, loving forever home. Due to my current housing situation, I’m unable to give him the consistent home environment he needs so I'm looking for someone who can give him the love, security, and attention he deserves.This is a very hard decision. I love Simba dearly, but I'm currently not in a stable home ,I want to do whats best for him, and that means finding a responsible, caring adopter who can give him a safe and loving forever home.
