Story
Peppadew is a spicy, fashionista, close to 7 years old who could be the star in a potential new TV show, "Golden Girls - Canine Edition." She has many positive qualities and a few that her new family can continue to help her improve upon. Peppadew loves people and will consider everyone she meets her new best friend. She will absolutely enjoy having all eyes on her as she models a new gown or sweater.Peppadew has done well with other dogs in the house but will need slow introductions to new dogs when out for a walk. She does great during car rides and enjoys being outside when it is not too cold. She can be a bit protective of her toys and food. She seems to like her kibble with a bit of water, but who doesn't like a little gravy? Like most seniors, she is a good napper and will cuddle up with a blanket on the couch during the day. At night, when the collar comes off, she will happily burrow in the blankets of her crate.Peppadew does well at signaling when it's time for a visit to the powder room. She will usually stand by the door and is even learning to ring a bell. We are not sure how she behaves with children or cats. Mostly she prefers people! If you're looking for a gentle and mature diva who likes to be the star of the show, then Peppadew may be for you. We can guarantee she is eager to meet you!Interested in adopting this dog? Visit our website (http://www.SecondCityCanineRescue.org) to fill out an application and to find out where this dog may be shown this weekend.We love our dogs.

Story
Meet Patches Patches is a cute, tan and white Chihuahua Mix, estimated to be about 2 years old, weighing 15 lbs. She is very cute, and good with most other dogs but sometimes is selective about her friends; she was confiscated along with several other dogs, ended up in a downstate animal control, and finally found her way to BAARK. Patches is well behaved, affectionate , an overall nice girl. However she has many traits typical of a Chihuahua….can be dog selective, can be bossy with other dogs, and will not back down if another dog challenges her. So, if there is another dog(s) in the household, he or she should be mellow and laid-back. While affectionate, Patches is not fond of cuddling. She’s an independent spirit and prefers to do her own thing. She will surely make a great companion for adults familiar with the breed and able to appreciate the Chihuahua personality. Patches is fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm prevention, spayed and microchipped. If you are interested in adding this independent spirit to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

Story
Sophie Marie arrived at BAARK Dog Rescue along with her housemate after their mom went into a nursing home. While we were able to bring both girls into our Rescue, they do not appear to be bonded to each other, but greatly enjoy the company of other dogs. Little Sophie is about 11 years old, a sweet female Chihuahua who has had a tough life when it comes to her health, Sophie was stricken with glaucoma and required removal of one eye; her other eye has limited vision. Despite her limited vision however, she is very confident in moving throughout her foster home, and loves to be front and center in the household. In addition, Sophie is diabetic, and requires a prescription food along with insulin injections twice daily after meals. In spite of her issues, Sophie is quite a little character, deserving of a forever family of her own, able to meet her medical needs as well as her need for an active social life…as well as a cozy place to rest her body when the day is done. Sophie is up-to-date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm prevention, spayed and microchipped. If you are interested in adding this adorable girl to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. Note that BAARK is located in Barrington and adopts primarily within the Northwestern Suburbs of Chicagoland.

Story
Rusty is a cute little guy, a Chihuahua Mix puppy with an estimated date of birth 10-14-2023. He’s currently only about 12 lbs. We expect his adult weight to be under 20 lbs. Rusty is a typical puppy. He is a ball of energy, and loves to play with other dogs. And really loves running and playing in the secure above-ground fenced yard at his foster home. He also enjoys cuddling, and loves attention from his human friends. Rusty is fine with older children but is afraid of the energy of younger children. Typical of a puppy, Rusty does enjoy chewing; it’s important to be alert to such behavior, so he does not get into trouble or get hurt. He’s working on his housebreaking and is doing well. Rusty has been vet-checked, and is up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. His neuter and microchipping are included in his adoption fee. If you are interested in adding this precious little guy to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. Please note that BAARK is located in the NW Suburbs of Chicago, and adopt local to this area.

Hi, my name is Prissy!!! I am an energetic, GORGEOUS Chi-mix who is looking for a new furever home. I would do well with a family with older children or someone who is home and looking for some great company. I am good at coexisting with cats, and small dogs & have even given kisses to a guinea pig! Crate trained & Housebroken? Check and check! I am great on a leash & love to hand with my Chiweenie foster brother! One of my favorite activities is chewing on a bone. Adorable? Yep, that’s me! I tilt my head when listening to my foster mom. I want her to know that I am paying attention! I am a curious little lady who loves to cuddle and am looking for a spot of my own right next to YOU! My foster family says I am a big love bug in a small package! If you would like to meet me, please fill out a preadoption application and a CDR volunteer will get back to you just as quick as they can! Smooches!!! Prissy
