Story
Steamboat Willie and his sister Tugboat Annie are happy little Chihuahua mix puppies. They spend their days playing outside (under the supervision of their foster moms) and playing inside in their puppy pen. Some of their favorite games include tug of war and tunneling under their beds or blankets. They are working on their potty training, but still have a way to go. They are fascinated by the resident cats and kittens and enjoy watchin them run past. They have not engaged with them for obvious reasons. These pups are adorable little potatoes and with proper training and patience will make lovely companions.

Story
BJ is an owner surrender who came in with his mom, Peaches. We had been contacted by a neighbor who stated that the dogs were not being cared for properly and that the older owner was willing to surrender them. Bj is extremely fearful and undersocialized. He literally shakes if someone looks at him or speaks to him. Because of his fear, he can also be snippy and will growl in "self defense ". BJ would not do well in a home with children. He seems to do OK with other dogs but could be reactive if scared so he will need a calm, easy going canine companion or be the only pet. He would probably do ok with cats since they would probably ignore him. Its difficult to say how he would be only because he hides a lot and freezes in fear. Getting an accurate read on his personality is difficult because of his fear. We do think that BJ wants attention but he just doesn't know how to go about handling interaction and can't seem to get comfortable and confident enough to seek it out. We are working with him to build trust and bring him out of his shell. We absolutely believe that this is do-able and will just take some time. Having him neutered will help, also and take that edge off. BJ will just need a patient, understanding, and preferably a dog experienced home who has dealt with dogs with similar social "blocks" He is still quite young at around 3 years of age so he has lots of good years left in him and finding a home where he feels safe and secure will be what he needs to live that life to the fullest because living in fear is just not living. He does appear to possibly be housebroken, although we never guarantee this. He also seems to be crate trained. We believe that BJ will make a wonderful companion once he conquers his fears and will be a dog who wants attention and love from his people. BJ saw the vet on 9/6/23. He appears to be in great health and no issues were noted on his exam. She tested negative for heartworms positive for hookworms on his fecal. We treated him with Drontal for the hookworms. He weighed 17 pounds as of 9/6/23. If interested in giving BJ his forever home, please submit your interest and your adoption application via email or text ONLY to 352-215-3260 (phone calls will not be answered or returned from this number). BJ's adoption fee will be $200 to help cover the cost of his vetting and daily care while with us. We will only consider applicants who complete the adoption application and will determine whether the applicant would be a good fit for BJ based on the info provided in the application. If we feel that you will be a good match for him, we will set up a meet and greet appointment with you.
