Story
Hi, I'm Khloe and I'm an 11 year old chihuahua mix. I'm here at the Santa Barbara campus waiting for my new people to come and bring me home. I would like a quiet home, as I'm an older gal and enjoy my naps. I do like going for walks and spending time with my people. I'm used to being the only pet in the home and getting all the attention for myself. If you have been looking for a small canine companion, please come in and visit with me today! Interested in meeting me? Adoption Centers are open daily 12-4:30pm, closed Wednesdays. Adoptions are on a first-come first served basis. For more information please email Adopt@SBHumane.org or call 805-964-4777. When I am adopted, I will have been spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped. My adopters will receive a certificate for a free veterinary exam and our partners at Purina will provide a supply of food for my first few days at home.

HI - I'M CASPER! I'm a 6-pound Chihuahua in need of a new home! I was rescued from a California shelter in August. My shelter paperwork says I'm 14 years old but honestly, I feel and act much younger. I LOVE hanging out with my doggy pals, and I'm a quiet and loving lap dog! I would love to share your bed and snuggle. I will do best with someone who works from home or who is retired, because I love to be with my person or people. I had some dental work done recently and lost a lot of my teeth, but I feel so much better! Please email for an application.

HI - I'M OLIVIA. I'm a 7-year-old Chihuahua in need of a new foster or forever home. I was recently impounded at a scary shelter, and they found my owner, but my owner chose not to come for me.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! I'M RUSSELL! I am a 6-pound, 6-year-old Chihuahua given up by my owner right before the holidays at a shelter, but thankfully I was rescued in the lobby before being impounded. What timing! Now I'm looking for a new foster or forever home. I am a good boy - I am shy around both people and other dogs, but that's partly because of all of the changes in my life. I love to bask in the sun and feel the warmth on my coat, which is beautiful and shiny. I'm a sweet pup who would love to snuggle with you at night. Can you foster or adopt me? Please email for an application.
