Big heart. Lifetime of love to give. Little Brother is a 6-year-old male Chihuahua, weighing about 10 lbs, and he’s the kind of dog who quietly works his way right into your heart. He gets along great with other dogs and has a gentle, friendly nature that makes him an easy companion. When you first meet him, Little Brother may take a moment to check things out — but that doesn’t last long. He warms up quickly and soon becomes sweet, engaging, and affectionate, happy to be near his people and included in whatever’s going on. He’s the perfect mix of calm and charming, with just enough personality to keep you smiling. A special bond: Little Brother has spent the last 5 years living with his best friend, Chocolate Donut. They don’t have to be adopted together, but it would be truly wonderful if they could stay side by side. They bring comfort and familiarity to one another and clearly share a deep bond. Little Brother would do beautifully in a home looking for a loving, low-key companion — whether that’s a quiet lap to curl up in, a cozy couch to relax on, or a house with other friendly dogs. If you’re ready to welcome a loyal little soul into your life (or maybe even two!), Little Brother is ready to meet you. Adoption application: www.wtfarmtn.org

Chocolate Donut is a 6-year-old, ~10 lb male Chihuahua who proves that some of the best things really do come in small packages. He gets along wonderfully with other dogs and has a fun nature that makes him easy to love. At first, Chocolate Donut may be a little reserved as he takes in his surroundings — but don’t let that fool you. He warms up quickly and soon shows his true colors: sweet, engaging, and quietly affectionate. Once he trusts you, he’s happy to hang out by your side and soak up all the love you’re willing to give. One of the most special things about Chocolate Donut is that he has spent the last 5 years living with his buddy, Little Brother. They don’t have to be adopted together, but it would be incredibly meaningful to keep them together if possible. They provide comfort and familiarity to each other, and it’s clear they’ve shared a lifetime of companionship Chocolate Donut would thrive in a home that appreciates a a dun-loving, little velcro dog who just wants to feel safe and cherished. If you’re looking for a loyal little companion — or maybe even a bonded pair — Chocolate Donut is ready to meet you. Adoption application: www.wtfarmtn.org

Her world has been completely turned upside down, and right now she is terrified, confused, and unsure of who she can trust. But underneath all that fear is a tiny heart that desperately wants to feel safe. Coco isn’t the dog you push or rush—she’s the dog you sit beside, quietly, patiently, with love and kindness. With someone who understands her pace and respects her boundaries, this little girl will begin to bloom. What Coco needs: * A calm home * Someone patient and consistent * A soft voice, gentle hands, and time to decompress * A person who knows that trust is earned slowly—and beautifully With love, stability, and a patient human by her side, Coco will flourish into the adorable Velcro dog she’s meant to be… the kind who follows her person everywhere with loyalty and affection.

Story
**I am located in Georgia, but I can be transported north to you!** Name: Snack Breed: Chihuahua mix Sex/Age/Weight: Male/estimated DOB 09/2024/ about 10 pounds Vetting: Up to date on vaccines, neutered, microchipped, heartworm negative and on preventatives House trained/Crate Trained: Working on house training; needs to be placed in crate at night but he settles down in a few minutes and sleeps through the night. Dogs/Cats/Children: Lives with other dogs; there are cats in another room, but when we’ve walked him through, he ignores them; no children Energy Level: Energetic puppy, but he’ll settle and sit next to his foster mom after a bit of roughhousing with our resident dog. Before FAR/My History: Unknown except he lived with A LOT of dogs. Working on: House training, walking on leash, and knowing his name Things I like: Playing with his brothers (foster and biological) Things I don’t like: Loud noises Things that make my humans happy: Snack and his brother sure are cute! Ideal Family/Home: We’d love it if he and his brother Pinto were adopted together, but that’s not a requirement. Having a friendly resident dog would be ideal, so he learns how to be a dog. Special Notes: Snack and his brother Pinto are blind, but they really don’t let that get in their way. They use the steps to get on and off the bed several times a day. They wrestle and play like sighted puppies, but they’re more tactile and miss visual cues. Snack is more outgoing and initiates play. If you are interested in giving Snack a forever home, please visit the link below to fill out an application! http://fureverafterrescue.org/adoption-application.html It is best to submit an application through a computer.
