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.

Story
Hi! My name is Cordelia and I'm at the Santa Barbara Campus. I'm a 5 year old female Chihuahua mix. When I arrived at SB Humane, I had a painful eye condition and the veterinarians here determined that removing my eye was the best option. I bounced right back from surgery, am pain free, and ready for a new home. I'm friendly with all people, quiet, good with other dogs, and I ride quietly in the car. I'm a great size because I'm small enough to be carried but study enough to go on walks! 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.

Story
Hi! My name is Ashley and I'm at the Santa Maria Campus. I am a 16 year old, female, Chihuahua Mix who is looking for a nice retirement home. I am aged to perfection and I would love nothing more than to be your cuddle buddy. My favorite past time is sun-bathing on a comfy blanket and snuggling in the blankets with my people. You can obviously tell my favorite things in the world are blankets and being comfortable. I grew up around children of all ages and I did very well with them. I am a super senior who would love a chance to be your trusty little shadow. My ideal home would be one with low traffic so I can enjoy my laid- back lifestyle. However, as much as I love to lounge around, I still get excited when someone says "Let's go for a walk." Interested in meeting me? Adoption Centers are open daily 12-4:30pm, closed Wednesdays.

All he needs is that special someone who can appreciate his unique blend of cuteness and sass.So, what are you waiting for? Get in touch with the shelter and ask about Shadow.
