Story
General Information:Cookie is an approximately 4-year-old female Chihuahua who has been spayed, microchipped, and is current on her vaccinations. She arrived at the rescue facility at the end of August 2025 accompanied by one puppy, who has since been adopted. Origin and Arrival:Cookie was rescued from Southeast Colorado; we believe that she and her puppy were left outside without a lot of human interaction. Training and Behavior:She is kennel-trained and familiar with using a doggie door.  Although she has experienced a few accidents inside the house, with consistent supervision, it is expected that she will become reliably housetrained. Social Compatibility:Cookie generally gets along well with most dogs but exhibits some bossiness and jealousy, especially when attention is given to other dogs. Therefore, careful management of interactions with other pets is advisable. Ideal Home Environment:It is recommended that Cookie be placed in a household with older children who are knowledgeable about dog behavior and language, ensuring a harmonious and understanding environment suitable for her needs.

Story
This sweet girl is the perfect blend of gentle and playful. As she grows more confident each day, her adorable quirks are coming to life. She will army crawl her way across the room just to be closer to you for pets, and when she gets excited, she breaks into the cutest little “tap dance” with her paws that will absolutely melt your heart.She is an exceptional work-from-home companion. Calm and content, she spends most of her day relaxing in a cozy, quiet corner, happily keeping you company. Every so often she will pop up to check in, say hello, and collect a few well-deserved pets before settling back down. She brings such a peaceful, easy presence to the home, the kind of dog who simply makes everything feel warmer.Out and about, she is still building her confidence. When other dogs or people pass by, she will often sit and quietly observe, taking it all in at her own pace. It is clear she is thoughtful, intelligent, and learning that the world is a safe place. With a steady routine and gentle reassurance, she continues to blossom more each day.She is the kind of dog who does not demand the spotlight, but once you notice her, you will wonder how you ever lived without her

L Blue is a spunky Chihuahua puppy that is 2 months old, he was born at the rescue the day after mom Lizzy arrived in Colorado.  He is microchipped and current on shots, he will need 1 more puppy shot and his rabies when he is 4 months old.  He is almost as big as mom at this time, we think mom is a Chihuahua mix, maybe Dachshund or Corgi or another breed with a long body.  These kids are very active and love to play, they have been handled extensively by a 5 year old. ##2101281##

Story
A dog by any other name, just wouldn’t be the same! Fantastic Mr. Fox, referred to as FMF or Fox, is a 6 year old (almost 7) Chihuahua mix. He came to MHCR as a transfer from a local CO shelter in February of 2025. He spent the next 10 months completely kicking our a$$e$ with his allergies and trying to get them under control. AND WE HAVE SUCCEEDED. This guy is, you guessed it, fantastic. He’s been totally worth the effort and we couldn’t be more thrilled to finally list him for his true forever home. He’s on a strict diet and requires daily meds to maintain this luxurious coat and to keep his skin fully intact. Fox is around 12-13 lbs. He loves wearing clothes and fully expects a nice wardrobe from his forever humans. He is great with dogs and cats of all sizes and has proven himself to be house trained. Are you in school? Perfect! He wants to eat your homework. If you aren’t into that you can simply crate him, but be warned, he will protest that a bit in the beginning. Fox likes car rides. He enjoys walks and stroller rides. He’s never met a stranger and is quick to warm up to new peeps he meets. He has bursts of play, but LOVES snuggle time under ALLLLLL the blankets as any good chi should. We have worked closely with Mr. Fox’s regular veterinarians as well as a dermatology specialist at CSU (🙏🏻) to come up with the right blend of meds and food to keep this boy comfy and healthy. He takes Atopica, prednisone, eats a strict prescription diet, and has an even stricter list of treats – with this kind of treatment you’d be surprised he isn’t royalty. We are happy to report, we’ve spent months monitoring his bloodwork and his body has finally taken kindly to the program. Mr. Fox, unfortunately has had a handful of seizures while in our care over the preceding 12 months. At this stage he does not require medications however it is something he may need additional support with in the future. We aren’t looking for just any home. We are looking for the right home. While there are many shapes and sizes, one thing is for sure, FMF’s forever peeps shouldn’t be opposed to a dog will have some medical needs. He promises to pay them back 10 fold, though. Fantastic Mr. Fox is in foster in Black Hawk, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs. * You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/fantastic-mr-fox You can apply for our wonderful dogs at https://www.milehighcanine.org/adopt/adoption-application/.

Story
"Meet Tim, a big personality crammed into a teeny tiny 6–7 lb body. At 5 (almost 6), this little Chihuahua is sensitive, cautious, and learning to trust at his own very slow, very Tim-approved pace. He is adorable, expressive, and fully committed to doing things his way. Tim is a fearful little guy and will need a patient, adult-only home that understands this is a long-term trust-building situation. He does not like being picked up, will not allow a leash to be put on him (unless you can distract him with treats), and it will take a good amount of time before he is comfortable with petting. Even once he warms up, affection happens strictly on his terms. But when he chooses you, it feels like winning the lottery. Now for the fun part. Once Tim truly trusts someone, he becomes super snuggly and transforms into a tiny, affectionate shadow who just wants to be near you, still on his terms, of course. Those rare, hard-earned cuddle moments are pure magic and absolutely worth the wait. He is silly, playful, and loves his toys. He is also free-roam trustworthy, and gets along well with other dogs. Tim is looking for someone who loves an underdog story and understands that progress comes in baby steps. He needs patience, consistency, and someone who celebrates the small wins like “he sat closer today” or “he didn’t run away this time.” In return, you get the honor of being Tim’s safe place and watching him slowly blossom into the sweet boy we know he can be. If you’re ready for a tiny dog with big feelings and even bigger charm, Tim is ready to meet you." Tim is being fostered in Longmont, Colorado. *We require all adopters to come to Colorado to adopt. *We do not transport dogs.* You can view this wonderful dog at https://www.milehighcanine.org/post/dogs/tim/.

Story
"Tonto is a slow-burn kind of guy, but once he warms up he is so worth the wait. This funny little dude is affectionate, cuddly, and full of quiet charm 🥰 He’s the type who will make you laugh with his awkward zoomies and then curl up for a long, peaceful nap right after. Why we love Tonto: Crate trained and a dream about it – not a peep overnight or during the day Very quiet overall (we honestly haven’t heard him bark yet!) Low energy with adorable bursts of zoomies on his long, stilt-like legs Content to chill, lounge, and nap most of the day Low-shed coat Doing great with house training when taken out regularly Not a marker 👍🏼 Things to know before adopting: Tonto is a dog who values his personal space. He doesn’t like feeling cornered and prefers not to be picked up when he’s cozy on the couch or resting in his crate. Respecting his boundaries helps him feel safe and confident. He’s kid-friendly with dog-savvy kids — he does well with older children (11+) who are gentle and understand when to give him space. He would not be a good fit for homes with young kids who want to pick him up or interact on their own terms. With other dogs, “dog tolerant” is a better description than dog social butterfly. He can coexist with other dogs, but he has shown some resource guarding with bones, comfy couch spots, and human laps (as most small dogs do). The perfect home for Tonto: A calm, understanding home that appreciates a quieter dog, respects boundaries, and enjoys a sweet companion who blossoms with trust. If you’re looking for a low-key, affectionate buddy who just wants to feel safe and loved, Tonto might be your guy 💙. He is 4 years old and 12.8 lbs."
