Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Please read the bio of the rescue you are interested in to insure you are a match if you are a match the first step is to complete the online adoption application  Mimi is a young female Chihuahua who came to our rescue very pregnant. Her pups have since been adopted and now its her turn to find her furever family.   She can be a bit shy at first but once she warms up she is your best buddy.  Full of kisses and follows you everywhere. She is doing very well with her crate training and has been started on leash training.   With a good schedule I'm sure her training will go well in her new home.  She would need to meet any potential new pet siblings.   No small children.  Mimi is up to date on rabies and distemper vaccines,  tested for heartworm negative and now current on preventatives. Microchipped and spayed.

He's not a fan of rambunctious puppies or dogs jumping on him but does well with adult dogs who are less active.  He is pretty much crate trained but will need further work in his new home.  He will need a home with no pet birds (chickens, ducks etc)as he will chase them.  He is neutered , microchipped,  current on preventatives,  up to date on rabies and distemper vaccines,  current on preventatives.

Story
This puppy has just arrived! They have come to us on transport from a shelter partner, were found as stray, or surrendered to our care by an owner. Puppies require a significant amount of structure, routine, time, patience, and training to learn how to behave properly in a home. The first few months of having a puppy is a critical time to establish boundaries and help your puppy understand what they can expect from you and what you expect from them. Remember, puppies aren’t born knowing how to live in a human’s world, it is up to you to teach them how to make good decisions in a positive and caring manner. The more positive interactions they have in their first year of life will set them up for better behavior in the future. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
Dog Name: Coffee Breed: Chihuahua Mix Sex: spayed female Age: 3 years in February 2026 Weight: 12.5 pounds Medical Needs: Coffee takes 10mg of Clomipramine twice daily. This is a behavioral med and has helped her compulsive digging/guarding behaviors. Housebroken: yes, she's not had a single accident in my home so far. Crate trained: sort of, when I take her to work with me and there's people around her she stays in her kennel just fine. At home she is not a fan. Good in the car: yes. She is a very well behaved passenger and sits still and quietly in the backseat Good on a leash: Coffee LOVES to go on walks but can pull and get AGGRESSIVE if she sees other dogs or a feline. She is not a friend to any stranger, 2 nor 4 legged. Energy level: high. Coffee can be hyper when she's excited. This includes jumping and nipping at your hands. Coffee also loves it when it's time to settle down and will snuggle in your lap. Need a fenced in yard: not necessarily, but she would really enjoy having the space to run free and DIG! Adopters need to be willing to crate train or at least limit her to one room of the house when not home if they don't have a yard as she may dash out when you arrive home. Dog Friendly: yes, with VERY slow introductions. She doesn't like unfamiliar dogs but loves the 2 dogs she lives with in her current foster home. If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? Not necessarily but would enjoy a small dog friend. Cat Friendly? She has only met stray felines in the neighborhood and she's not a fan of them. She will try and go after them. Not a friend to felines. Kid Friendly: not tested, but I don't recommend her being in a home with small children due to her size, mouthy behaviors, and it takes her a while to warm up to people. If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? I would recommend 13+ Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Coffee is an extremely sweet girl once she gets to know you. When she first arrived in my care, she did not like me at all. She showed some cage aggression and fearful reactions until she learned I am a safe person. On day 3 she jumped up on my bed on her own and slowly approached, gave my face a lick, and she's been wonderful TO ME ever since. You are either a threat or someone who has won coffee over and is now her best friend whose face she must smooch. There is no in between. Coffee is very barrier aggressive still and will bite new people. With how long it takes for coffee to adjust to new people, a quiet home with very few guests is ideal. Adopters must be aware of her fears and behaviors with new people and be willing to give her time and space to get comfortable and build confidence in her new home. Fosters Location: Berlin MD Application can be found here: https://www.grrde.org/adoption-application (if you already have an approved application on file email GrassRootsDE@gmail.com and ask the app team to pull your app ##2349427##
