Story
🐾 Bonded 8-Year-Old Chihuahuas Seeking Quiet Home 🐾 Vinny and Penny are an 8-year-old brother and sister pair who have been together their whole lives. They are healthy, crate trained, potty trained, and very low-energy lap dogs who love relaxing with their person, short walks, and sunny spots. They need a calm, predictable adult-only home with no other pets. Their reactivity is fear-based, and they thrive in a quiet environment. Penny warms up fairly quickly; Vinny can be more cautious. This is a heartbreaking decision, but our home with young children and another dog has become unsafe for them. We want them to have the peaceful life they deserve.

Story
Meet Kevin!Kevin may be small, but he’s mighty when it comes to loyalty. He is a 2 years old who came to us with some behavioral history of being very protective of his person — acting as a little bodyguard who didn’t love sharing his owner’s attention. If you’re looking for a dog-friendly dog who also takes his role as your personal security very seriously, Kevin might be your guy.Since being with us, Kevin has shown no guarding or protection issues, and he has been settling in nicely. That said, it’s important to remember that dogs can behave differently in a shelter environment than they do in a home, so adopters should be mindful and ready to provide structure, guidance, and clear boundaries as Kevin continues to adjust.Kevin would do best in a home that appreciates a confident, spunky dog with a big personality in a small package — one who will make sure you feel like the safest person in the world. With the right match, Kevin has the potential to be an incredibly devoted companion.Kevin is on Apoquel as a long term medication due to allergies. Kevin's adoption fee is $75, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: https://www.acskc.org/adopt-1Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet! We welcome adopters from out of state to apply! _When it comes to our pets, we're all-inclusive!
