Story
Meet Chum — 13 pounds of attitude, drama, and… eventually… affection. Are you a patient adult woman with a soft spot for spicy little men? Perfect. Chum is a 4-year-old chihuahua whose hobbies include: strutting proudly on his walkies, judging everyone within a 10-foot radius, and filing formal complaints about any man who dares make eye contact. Chum considers personal space a right, not a privilege. He’ll need someone who lets him settle in at his own pace, preferably while providing him with the fluffiest, most luxurious bed known to mankind (he will absolutely claim it as his throne).

Story
We accept applications within 1hour drive of Claymont DE 19703. Mr Cookie has quite a little story. He originally was brought into a facility as a stray. Since no testicles were seen they assumed he was neutered. Male dogs that are not neutered typically have a chip on their shoulder and this guy sure did. He was adopted out and returned. He was then transferred to a rescue, where he was adopted out and returned. Someone sent his bio to his current foster mom because these are type of dogs she likes to help. They worked on things for months but something just wasn’t right. She thought MAYBE a testicle didn't drop and someone didn't do a full neuter. Was she surprised when the vet felt 2 testicles that didn’t drop! This explained everything. So Cookie was finally neutered! But sadly he had some learned behaviors (he was about 2 years old now) and also is was obvious that he had been abused because of it. It’s been a long road, but this dog is amazing and all he wants to do is please and be loved. His ideal forever home would be a parent or 2, no children and another dog. Another dog isn’t a requirement but doggie play dates would be nice. We think he would miss playing and wrestling with another 4 legged friend. Cookie is crate trained, we can not say he is house broken. He loves to play with his tiny Kong tennis ball. He will even put it on the ramp himself so it rolls down and he can chase it. He IS neutered and UTD on vaccines, HW negative, and microchipped. Please email us gor an application AOLanimalrescue@gmail.com. Please remember chi experience is necessary for this special pup. .

Story
We prefer adopters be within 1 hour drive of Claymont, DE 19703. Sweet Oreo joined All Our Love Animal Rescue when his previous family could no longer care for him. Oreo is a typical chi, tiny who thinks he’s mighty🙄 He likes to play with other pups, but he likes to be the boss so let’s call him dog selective. He was an only pup before coming into the rescue, and he would be fine as an only pup, but play dates with friends is always a good thing, to help keep him from becoming reactive when out and about. Oreo does get nervous in the car, so foster mom is taking him out on small errands in hope that he becomes more comfortable and can relax. Oreo definitely is all snuggles when it’s his turn to sleep with foster mom. We feel Oreo would do best in an adult home, with teenagers and older. We do require chihuahua experience. This breed can be spicy at times, and the parents can’t or shouldn’t allow them to rule the house. Once everyone knows their true place in the pack, spoiling them rotten and allowing them to think they are the boss can be fun at times. But they need that structure at first. Oreo has been neutered, vaccinated, HW & Lyme checked (both negative) and he is microchipped. If you would like to inquire more about Oreo please email us at AOLanimalrescue@gmail.com. We want nothing more than to help Oreo find his forever home.
