Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Liora!  Liora is a sweet and playful 4-year-old Chihuahua mix looking for her forever home. While we’re not quite sure what else she may be mixed with, one thing is certain — she’s full of personality and charm! Liora weighs a little over 20 pounds, making her a great medium-size companion. She enjoys being active, walks nicely on a leash, and is crate trained, which makes her an easy addition to a loving home. Liora has a fun, playful side and would love an adopter who enjoys spending time with her, whether that’s going for walks or just hanging out together. Liora came to Pet Rescue By Judy through no fault of her own after her owner could no longer care for her. She has not yet been around children, other dogs, or cats, so at this time we’re unsure how she will do with them. As we get to know Liora better, we’ll be sure to update her page with any new information.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 4, 2026, 1:03 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Aries   Aries is a 7-year-old Chihuahua mix (possibly with Miniature Pinscher) with a big personality and an even bigger heart. He’s had a lot of change in his life — his original owner passed away, he stayed briefly with a neighbor, and then moved into foster care — so he’s looking for a stable, understanding, patient home where he can finally settle in for good. Aries is a sweet, loyal little guy who loves cuddling, belly rubs, and squeaky toys (he proudly considers himself the “king of toys”). He’s very food-motivated, a smart little guy who listens well, and knows several commands including sit, shake, other paw, spin, lay down, and tippy toes. He enjoys quiet walks. He is overwhelmed by loud parks at this time. He is excellent about pottying outside and gets straight to business. He likes his independence and prefers to do things by himself so having to get picked up to be put in and out of the car takes someone who will take their time for trust to develop and not rush him, but once in the car, he settles in nicely. Aries is respectful with cats and enjoys watching them play. He doesn’t bother them or their food while they’re eating, though he should be supervised if they walk away from leftover meals.  Aries does NOT feel safe in crates and does best with free access to a secure home. He went to foster care from the rescue for this very reason as he injured himself getting out of a crate. He is not destructive of any house hold items. He enjoys having multiple cozy spots around the house to relax.  He has shown some possessive behavior of women when sleeping in bed so for that reason may do best having his own sleeping space at night. He does fine cuddling on the couch.  Aries prefers slow introductions to new people and is not comfortable with excessive handling, talking, or eye contact from strangers unless treats are involved.  Prior experience with Chihuahuas or similar breeds is encouraged(or willingness to learn). With patience, willingness to move at his pace, structure, and love, Aries will be a deeply loyal companion who just wants to feel safe and chosen. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.February 3, 2026, 10:13 pm

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Shadow is a 1yo, approx. 7lb. male chihuahua mix who was abandoned by his owner. Even so, he loves being with his person. He takes a bit to warm up to new people, but once he does he loves affection and belly rubs, and loves to give kisses. He is mostly house trained and is learning that the leash means go potty. He is crate trained, walks well on a leash (may pull a bit at first) and rides well in a car. He does have a lot of energy so he needs someone who is active with him and has a fenced yard for him to run and play in. Shadow previously lived with a large dog, and also does well with small dogs and cats. He can be growly at first when meeting new people, has some separation anxiety and can be vocal when left alone. Loud noises scare him. Shadow loves small toys, especially rope toys. But keep your shoes up or he will think they are there for him. We are preferring an adult-only home for him, but if the home has kids they should be older and respectful. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Shadow, please complete an app and tell us more about you. January 30, 2026, 9:20 pm

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Meet Sidney a young and very handsome boy. He is an approx. 3yo, 8lb. long-hair chihuahua mix with shiny brown and black fur. When he first meets you, he is very shy and scared, running away and hiding for safety. But after some time, patience, and understanding he now feels safe with his foster mom and fur siblings, where he realizes love, warmth and contentment. He is now even doing zoomies! He gets along so well and loves each of his foster siblings, all small dogs like him, and they play, wrestle and chase each other in the yard. Cuddling is his favorite past time. Although it took some time, he has learned how to trust, and his personality is really coming out. He is house trained as long as he is taken out on a regular basis. He may still make the occasional mistake though. He hasn't learned to walk on leash yet, and that is a work in progress, so for that reason he does need a fenced yard. He is not a big barker and rides well in a car. He is not a big player with toys, but does enjoy chew bones. He loves to sleep cuddled up right next to his foster mom where it’s warm and cozy. He insists on getting lots of kisses before going to bed, then he sleeps quietly all through the night. Sidney needs to be in a home with another dog that is confident and will cuddle with him and make him feel safe. Sidney will need someone who can give him time and patience, and not pressure him until he is ready (you must fight the urge to pick him up and cuddle his adorableness until he’s comfortable and ok with it). Once he has that time to settle in and feel as if he can trust you, he will be your best friend, and you will find out what a good boy he is. Due to his skittish-at-first nature, we are preferring an all adult home for him. He is a barker so apartment or condo living may not be best for him. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Sidney, complete an app and tell us more about your family.

Story
Apply to Adopt Me! Meet little Benny, a 2-year-old applehead Chihuahua weighing 6 1/2 pounds. Benny was brought to a shelter after being hit by a car. Lil Rascals quickly got him out of the shelter, but once in his foster home, he seemed to have vision issues, so he was taken to an eye vet specialist, where it was determined that he could see, but did have something going on. After being on meds for a period of time, we took him to his second eye specialist checkup, where  his pupils responded to light, he followed the vet's movements with both eyes and she believed that the injury to his eyes was due to the trauma from the car accident. He has improved so much from last time. She feels that he may even get more improvement as his nerves continue to heal.   When he first arrived at his foster mom's house, he was so scared that he would run away and hide. If she tried to pick him up, he would growl and try to bite her. But with time, love and patience, he has mostly gotten over that fear. He is now a little cuddle bug. He still likes to growl at you when you pick him up, but there’s no biting, and after he’s in your arms, he relishes the attention. He will even give you kisses. He loves to sleep in his foster mom‘s bed snuggled right next to her. He gets along with all his foster fur buddies, but he doesn’t really play with them. Benny loves his walks and he does a great job on the leash. He is also good on car rides. Benny loves to eat. He needs a slow feeder bowl or he’ll gobble up his food in seconds. Treats are his favorite and he’s the first one in line. He’s not big on playing with toys. Benny needs a home with an experienced chihuahua owner. He requires patience and time to get to know his person. But once he does, you can’t help but love him. He’s quirky and goofy and has the cutest little face. He needs someone to love and understand him. He is mostly house trained, but he does use a pee pad and on occasion he’ll make a tiny little poop somewhere. Benny will always be Benny. That’s what makes him so endearing. This little guy will make you laugh. He has learned to respond to love and care and a full belly. He is his foster mom's sweet little man and he can be yours too. Due to his small size, we are requiring an all-adult home only. He loves to be outside so a small fenced space would be great for him. If you live in the Central Florida/Orlando area and believe you have the perfect home for Benny, complete an app and tell us more about you.
