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 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

Story
Twinkle’s story is as heartbreaking as it is inspiring. She came to us after someone claimed to have “found” her wrapped in a soiled diaper. But after a little digging, we discovered the truth—it was actually her owner who had abandoned her under false pretenses. Even more devastating, she had posted online about Twinkle’s injury but waited too long to get her proper care. By the time she came into our care, it was too late for surgery. Despite that neglect, Twinkle has held onto her spirit. She has hind leg paresis, meaning she has partial mobility—not full paralysis. And while surgery was no longer an option, she’s made incredible strides through supplements and alternative therapies like acupuncture, electromagnetic treatment, massage, and physical therapy. She’s showing steady, meaningful progress. She does need her bladder and bowels expressed 3–4 times a day, but she’s a total champ about it—cooperative, patient, and even helps by posturing. The process takes just a couple of minutes. ? More about Twinkle: • Resilient, loving, and full of personality • Great eater and enjoys all the things mobile dogs do • Gets along well with other respectful animals • Best with older, calm kids (10+) • No other health concerns Twinkle is about 5-6 years old, She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, microchipped, and tested negative for heartworm and tick borne diseases. Twinkle needs a special adopter—someone experienced or willing to learn about special needs care, with the time and dedication to help her thrive. She’s been let down before, but she hasn’t let it define her. She’s ready to love and be loved in a home that truly sees her. If you’re that kind of person, Twinkle is ready to be your shining light.

Story
This guy is absolutely precious, and my adult son calls him Chocolate Rain. Walter is an older super Mutt who is looking to land in a home that will respect his boundaries and be his forever clan. His house trained, friendly, affectionate, rides well in the car, He's fantastic with other animals and he should only be with dog savvy kids age 12+. Walter absolutely needs a fenced in yard. You're not going to be able to walk the wet food pounds off of him because he's a butthead about touching his throat. He won't let us get a collar on him. I can only get a slip lead on after being his best friend and having Nudgers in my hand. He initiates all petting and follows me everywhere. But he will not let me get my hands around him. So, if you have a fenced yard and you can respect his boundaries (he will also respect yours), then you're going to love him. Just put a soft bed on the floor in your room and he will just think you're a Saint and will worship you forever. Apply for our little fat old man at www.brasscityrescue.org
