Story
Meet Rue, our 4 1/2 year old Chihuahua. Sadly we are looking to rehome him to a furever home. He has been with us since birth and has always done amazing with our son who is now 11. This past year we had a baby and she has proven to be too much for him. As you can see he is the biggest cuddler and would live under you if he could. He is crate trained, very loving to his owners, he does not do well with other dogs big and small alike. He doesn’t care to use the bathroom on a leash, we typically let him out in the backyard and he does his business and comes back. He would do great in a home with children that aren’t infants. He is neutered and microchipped and would come with all his essentials. He does have high anxiety when it comes to getting his nails clipped(we take him to lucky puppy nail specialist and he’s slowly been adapting). Free to a good home, we just want to know he will be loved as much as we loved him.

Story
Hola! Capi, here. I'm a 6-year-old chihuahua/dachshund mix gal who arrived at spcaflorida from Puerto Rico in late March. I spent a day in the adoption center and everyone noted how I can "work a room." Spoiler alert: I don't relish when a human hovers over me and tries to pick me up. Shyness happens at first but disappears when I hear your sweet voice, especially when you ask, "Wanna go home with me?" My now pearly whites had some mild tartar and ears, wax but those issues are history. At the present time, I'm in treatment for heartworms but will be done on April 24. So between now and then, I'll need to limit intensive activity for a while. At my age, I'm pretty calm and will nap between tail wags and body wiggles. I'm the one with the huge brown eyes emphasized with white surrounding circles. So, please stop by soon, let's take a walk and get acquainted. WOOF!

Story
Unfortunately, Jelly’s owner became ill and was unable to care for him. Another family member took over but he was also unable to care for him and brought him to the Oasis. Jelly is estimated to be around 7-8 years old, so technically a senior but he almost certainly has another 10 years left in him. He’s about 9 lbs as well. He’s good with other dogs but prefers to be with calmer dogs as he can get overwhelmed by more rambunctious ones. He’s good with cats as well and would likely do well with slightly older children who won’t overwhelm him either. Unlike most chihuahuas, he doesn’t bark at strangers and is more than happy to be picked up by anyone. He also appears to be house trained and hasn’t had any accidents or marked around the house. He’s also got the silliest little bark/howl! He is microchipped, vaccinated, and will be heartworm tested and neutered on April 17th. The cost is included in his adoption fee

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.&#226&#128&#188&#239&#184&#143Available for Adoption&#226&#128&#188&#239&#184&#143 Henry the 2nd Henry (also affectionately known as Henry the Second) came to our rescue earlier this month. He was adopted in February from the local county animal shelter but surrendered to us a few weeks later once his owner discovered that he does not enjoy car rides very much. That was a problem for her because she travels often.  We were happy to welcome Henry to 4 Lucky Dogs since we are confident that we can find him the perfect home!    Henry is still just a puppy at 12 months old – he loves to play and is GO-GO-GO. He LOVES toys, balls and all things that squeak! Henry weighs a svelte 10 lbs. We suspect he may be a combination of chihuahua, beagle and dachshund, but who really knows! He is a cute as a button with soft fur and a curly-que tail.  Henry is neutered, microchipped and fully vaccinated. He has a condition known as cherry eye, which was evaluated by our veterinarian and determined to be minor and primarily cosmetic at this point. It does not bother him at all. However, his adopter should be aware that he may require surgery in the future if his condition worsens.  He is being fostered in a multiple-dog household and has also been around cats. He can be cautious with new people (not unusual for small dogs) but warms up quickly. Overall, he seems to get along with everyone.  Henry would probably enjoy having another young, playful dog in his forever home, but that is not a requirement to adopt him. We think he would do okay with respectful children.  He does have an off switch and will nap while his foster mom works on the computer. We believe he is housetrained, as his foster mom reports that he had only two accidents upon arrival and appears to be potty-pad trained but will also go outside to do his business.  Henry is a young, healthy and happy little dog who will make a great addition to a very lucky family!
