Story
Meet Buddy — the 12-pound chihuahua who believes he is the one doing the adopting. Buddy is about 3 years old and has the confidence of a tiny king deciding who is worthy of his presence. He does not love everyone… but honestly, do any of us? The good news is that once Buddy chooses you, congratulations — you’ve been selected for VIP status. Once you’re in his inner circle, Buddy becomes your shadow, your snuggle buddy, and your personal space invader. You can dress him in sweaters, carry him around like royalty, or let him claim your lap as his permanent real estate. He loves it all. Winning him over is the tricky part — his little heart has a password, and he’s not sharing it with just anyone.March 7, 2026, 9:03 am

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
Meet Piper Piper is a 2-year-old Chihuahua mix weighing in at a petite 12 pounds, which makes her the perfect little sidekick for all of life’s adventures. This outgoing gal has a big personality packed into a tiny body and is ready to steal the hearts of everyone she meets. Piper loves attention and is on the hunt for a family she can shower with love (and maybe claim a cozy spot on the couch). Whether it’s going for a stroll, exploring the yard, or simply hanging out with her favorite people, Piper is happiest when she’s part of the action. April 11, 2026, 12:24 pm

Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
CHULO came to us with his sister, CHISPITA, when their family could no longer care for them. Both are shy but Chulo is the bolder of the two. He has learned how to walk on a leash. Enjoys the company of his sister and should do well with other dogs. Totally ignores the cats in our cat room. Chulo looks like a tiny German Shepherd with a nub tail! He is one year old and has been neutered, vaccinated, micro chipped and tested negative for heartworms and tickborne diseases. Looking for a calm and confident family who can help him be all the dog he can be (i.e., more than just a big fenced yard – gradual outings, walks in the park etc.). Chulo appears to be housebroken and keeps a tidy crate. Approximately 11 pounds. If you are the patient loving family he is looking for, please fill out an application at www.companimals.org. Adoption $250.April 13, 2026, 2:06 pm

Story
MIMI:Are you looking for a little lap dog who wants nothing more than be with her person and snuggle?  Then Mimi is the dog for you!  Mimi was surrendered to the shelter when her family of 12 years had to move and could not take her with them.  Mimi is a senior 12 year old Chihuahua with lots of life to live and love to give.  She is still spunky enjoys short walks around the block and is good with other dogs and cats.  Mimi is housetrained and independent about going outside to do her business.   Mimi is doing very well in her foster home where she loves to roam the fenced yard and gets along well with the 2 other dogs in the house.  She has a crate in her foster home so she can have her own space away from the other dogs, but the crate is not necessary once she has her forever home.  Since she is a Chihuahua, Mimi does become attached to ‘her person’ and will want to be by your side and on your lap the moment you sit down.  She may be shy at first and timid around new people but will warm up especially for the person who is caring for her.  Her favorite thing to do is snuggle with her person while watching a movie.  If you are looking for a loving little companion and are able to give Mimi a comfortable home in her senior years, then she is the dog for you!  Mimi has been seen by an ophthalmologist for cataracts. The lens in her right eye has a mature cataract and a luxated lens but is not painful. Her left eye has a cataract also. Mimi is very good about getting her eye drops (2 different drops to keep her comfortable and to keep her condition from progressing). She will need to be on these eyedrops for life and will need an annual visit with the eye doctor. The eye drops are a prescription at CVS or any other local drugstore and are about $20 per month.  Mimi’s bloodwork at intake looked good and her heart is strong and healthy. Mimi is doing well on a Farmer’s Dog type of diet. Adoption fee is reduced due to her eye care expenses ($200). If you are the family Mimi is looking for, please fill out an adoption application at www.companimals.org. Excellent vet references are a must. References and home visit required for all of our pups.April 13, 2026, 2:06 pm
