Story
Everyone Needs A Buddy!Buddy is a little dog with a gentle heart who is looking for a patient adopter to help him continue building confidence. After a difficult start in life, he's learning that people can be safe and kind, and he grows a little braver every day.Buddy is quiet, sweet, non-aggressive, and happiest in a calm environment with a predictable routine. He loves cozy beds, sunny spots, and having a safe place to relax. While he's not ready for cuddles yet, he has already made wonderful progress and has begun approaching trusted people on his own terms. He's very treat motivatedHis ideal home is with someone who understands that trust is earned, not rushed. Buddy doesn't need adventures or constant attention. He simply needs patience, consistency, and the freedom to move at his own pace.A securely fenced yard is required. Buddy would thrive in a quiet home with indoor/outdoor access and a kind person who finds joy in earning a dog's trust.Could you be Buddy's person?

Story
Hey guys, my name is Surfer! I am a 1 year old, neutered male chihuahua who weighs about 16lbs. I am a fun energetic guy who loves soaking up all the affection you have to give me! I am nervous to start off and will get a bit vocal when meeting new people, but I warm up fast and will be jumping to get in your lap in no time! I'd love to go to a home where I can play to my hearts content and snuggle up with my favorite humans. I would do best in a home with dog savvy children 10 and up, and would do well with a same sized or slightly bigger dog. I'd love to meet the whole household, including any resident dogs prior to adoption. Come on in and meet me!!!

Story
Hi, I'm Precious, a 5-month-old, spayed female, short-haired Chihuahua pup who currently weighs 14 lbs. but I'm a growing girl and may grow to be between 30 to 35 lbs. as an adult. I'm a sweet little lady that enjoys a loving lap for sweet pets while I provide the best doggie kisses ever! I can be a bit insecure at first, so my new family should be ready to guide me through a world of new experiences with plenty of patient positivity and to help me work on my doggy social skills! As I will need a bit of help adjusting to new situations, I would do best in a furever home with dog savvy teens and up! If I sound like the perfect companion, I'd love to meet you, and any well-matched, male resident dogs, before adoption. Come in to meet me today!
