Story
Hi, I’m Tango! I’m an 8 year old Terrier mix, weigh 12 lbs, and am a quiet little guy. My owner passed away, so I’m just staying to myself, trying to make sense of everything. I crave attention and love, and really like it when my foster mom sits and talks to me and loves on me, but I’m not really much of a lapdog. If I’m in her lap, it’s only for a brief moment and then I’m gone again. I sleep in a large crate at night, with lots of blankets and stuffed animals. I snuggle in and sleep quietly through the night. I’m enjoying chewing on bully sticks and other chewies, and playing with toys that make noise or have squeakers in them. I do like to go outside, and foster mom says that I’m a “work in progress” with my potty training. I get along well with other dogs (small dogs 20 lbs. or less), and would do well in a home with or without doggies. I do tend to vocalize quite loudly when playing, and might not do well in an apartment setting. I would do well in a home with younger people (no toddlers or babies) and adults. I would enjoy walks, and as long as I’m walked frequently and monitored on a leash, I do not require a fence. Please don’t leave me unsupervised outside; I would want your attention all the time. Since my owner passed away, I need someone who is going to re-teach me some of the rules about going potty, learning to snuggle with the family, you know…all that stuff. Tango is neutered, up to date on all his vaccinations, is heartworm negative and on heartworm preventative. He’s had a dental, is microchipped and dewormed. Tango’s adoption fee is $300. WE DO NOT ACCEPT PERSONAL CHECKS. Out of state adopters are responsible for arranging transport. WE DO NOT SHIP DOGS. If you're looking for a very sweet and lovable little guy to join your family, please fill out an application on AAP’s website.

Story
Boo Boo is a 5-year-old, 6-pound sweetheart who truly believes laps were made just for him. All he wants is someone to love him and keep him close.He enjoys car rides, walks nicely on a leash, and is doing great with going potty outside. Boo Boo loves playing with toys and is happy whether he has a canine buddy or is the only dog soaking up all the attention. A fenced yard is not required, as Boo Boo stays close to his person. Because he is so tiny, he would not be a good fit for a home with small children. Boo Boo is the perfect little companion for someone looking for a loving, gentle dog who will happily curl up in your lap and be your loyal sidekick. Boo Boo is neutered, up to date on all vaccines, heart worm negative and on heartworm preventative, had a dental, de-wormed, and microchipped. Boo Boo’s adoption fee is $350.00.

Story
5-year-old spayed female Chihuahua, 5 lbs, house-trained, crate-trained, sweet with adults but needs to be approached with caution the first few times, no toddlers. She loves being a lap dog, and she was perfect with my toddler for a long time, but recently her behavior has escalated. She is resource guarding comfy spots only from my toddler, and we’ve attempted to train her out of it, but she went from just growling to attempting to bite. Shoko is not food aggressive with anyone in the house, doesn’t really play with toys for more than a second, and she loves going on walks but definitely prefers to avoid other dogs. She, in the past has LOVED cats and another small dog she was used to, but all situations should be approached cautiously.
