Story
Meet Dexter — a 4-year-old, 8lb sweetie with a huge heart in a tiny body. His start in life was heartbreaking — living in a makeshift pen on dirt with only a tarp for a roof. It was so sad, rough and unfair, but his spirit never broke. Dexter cntd: Dexter is spunky, playful, and full of attitude with a personality that fills the room. He plays well with other dogs and loves toys, and attention. He’s the kind of pup who thinks he’s much bigger than he is. Dexter is fully vetted and neutered. He is not yet fully potty trained but is making progress. Potty wraps work great for him right now while he continues learning house rules. Dexter: This little cuddle enthusiast truly deserves a warm lap, soft bed, and a forever family who will spoil him the way he should have been from the start. Dexter is currently in Puerto Rico but can sent anywhere for his forever home.

Story
🐾🍿 Meet Popcorn — tiny body, blockbuster personality. At 3 months old and a massive 6 pounds (her words, not ours), Popcorn is living proof that you can fit an entire Rottweiler attitude into a Chihuahua-sized package. I mean… look at her. Those markings? Giving “serious guard dog.” That size? Giving “can be carried in one arm while holding coffee in the other.” The official credentials: ✔️ Spayed ✔️ Up to date on shots ✔️ Microchipped ✔️ Professionally small Popcorn is what we like to call a “big dog in a tiny purse-sized frame.” She will: 🍿 Patrol your home like it’s a 10,000-acre estate 🍿 Alert you to everything (leaf? suspicious. wind? unacceptable.) 🍿 Demand to be included in all activities 🍿 Make you laugh approximately 47 times a day She is playful, confident, and already walking around like she owns the place — because in her mind, she absolutely does. Let’s talk Chihuahua reality for a second: These dogs don’t just have personalities… they have opinions. Strong ones. Loud ones. Frequently expressed ones. But they also bring: 💛 Fierce loyalty 💛 Endless entertainment 💛 Snuggles that fit perfectly in your lap (or hoodie, or blanket, or wherever she decides) Popcorn is going to bond hard with her person and become your tiny shadow — your slightly dramatic, very adorable, always-opinionated shadow. Adopt Popcorn — because why have a normal dog when you can have a whole personality in snack size? 🍿🐾💛

Story
Stella, is aprox 6-8lbs, born Feb-Mar ‘18, she is spayed and has had all her shots for this year. Needs dental work but overall healthy. She is used to someone being at home but does use a crate to stay in and does not give us issues with it thus far. She goes out 3-4 times day. She eats Nutro dry food mixed with water. She’s is very playful and chilled inside the home but can let all the birds and squirrels in the neighborhood know that her backyard is hers alone. She love walks and cuddles, we’re not able to do that because of history of dog allergies so our care of her have been limited. She likes to have a towel or blanket to wrap herself in. She’s never had any issues of temperament or being aggressive to anyone. Good with big kids but small kids are rough on her and her tail so we always supervised. She’s an only pet but has shown good behavior with other well behaved dogs. Please don’t take her if you don’t have the time and heart to give her a better home, she’s needs Better.
