Story
Frankie is 10 years old. I’ve had Frankie since he was a month old. I recently moved to the Chicago area and was working and lost employment. He’s such a loving dog who doesn’t fuss about hardly anything. He likes to cuddle and will let you know when he does. He’s not a very vocal chihuahua like a lot of chihuahuas. He’s kind and gentle.

Story
Chug was rescued from Border Tails rescue shelter with her sister Buffy. There is little known about their history prior to the shelter, but we know that she is around 1 year old and is a pug and chihuahua mix. We have discovered that she is not dog friendly and is still working on potty training, but absolutely loves people. She also seems to have been trained on puppy pads. Chug is also a fast learner and seems very responsive to training. If you are looking for a super snuggly love bug to be your one and only fur baby, she’s your girl.

Story
If you are looking for a small dog with a big personality and an even bigger capacity for love, let me introduce you to Cindy Lou. Cindy Lou is a petite 30-lb pocket pittie, about 2 years old, with soulful eyes and a playful, curious spirit. She was found wandering the streets and has since blossomed in a foster home where she has learned what safety, routine, and affection look like. Cindy Lou has done beautifully living with other dogs and is social with calm, thoughtful introductions. She thrives when she has a canine buddy to take cues from and would do well with a secure, well-matched dog in the home. She is playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining even playing all by herself. Cindy Lou is still building confidence in busy environments. On leash, she can become reactive when she sees other dogs, so she is looking for a low-traffic neighborhood. She thrives with structure, training, and focused activities.

Story
Looking for a new home for our senior (approx. 14 years old) Chihuahua-terrier mix, due to bringing home a new baby. She is a very sweet, chill dog who does well with cats but is looking for a quiet home (adults or older kids ok). She loves to snuggle and is very low-key / low energy. She is ok with other large, calm dogs but does not like small, energetic dogs or puppies. She has some minor senior health struggles (mild arthritis, partially deaf, etc.) but is overall in great shape for her age. House/potty pad trained. Requesting $75 adoption fee which we will match + donate to PAWS Chicago. Happy to share more info. on her temperament, history, health, etc. and/or schedule a meet-and-greet.

Story
Current Location: Korea 🇰🇷 🐾✨ Meet JISU — A Gentle & Sweet Pom Mix Girl Looking for Her Forever Family ✨🐾 🌸 A soft soul who just wants to belong. 🌸 📌 Basic Info 🐶 Name: Jisu (JISU) 🎀 Age: 3 years old 👧 Gender: Female ⚖️ Weight: 4.9 kg 🐾 Breed: Pomeranian Mix 💉 Vaccinations / Spay-Neuter: Completed 💛 Personality & Charm Jisu is shy at first, but she really wants to be close to people. She quietly stays nearby, observes, trusts slowly… and then one day, she melts into your arms and holds on tight. 🥹💞 Calm, gentle, and loving — the perfect companion for a peaceful home. 👨‍👩‍👧 With Adults & Kids 🧑 Adults: Takes time to warm up, but becomes affectionate and loyal once she trusts you 🧒 Kids: Calm and gentle, okay with being next to them or being touched ⚠️ If kids run or shout loudly, she chooses to observe from a distance 🐶 With Other Animals 🐕 Dogs: Excellent! — polite greetings and sometimes playful with her favorite friends 🐱 Cats: Good! — sniffs and ignores 🦜 Lives peacefully with a parrot in her foster home 🚽 House-training ✨ 100% reliable! ✔ Outdoor potty ✔ Indoor pee pads ✔ Balcony turf ➡️ Very easy and stress-free 🔋 Energy Level ⚡ Low ~ Medium 🏡 Quiet and peaceful at home 🐕 At the park, lightly plays with familiar friends or just jogs along with the group 🗣 Separation Anxiety / Barking / Aggression 💛 Separation anxiety: ❌ 🔔 Barking: ❌ (very minimal) 💥 Aggression: ❌ If scared, she may growl or bark once/twice to say “I’m uncomfortable” — never attacks. 🚶‍♀️ Walks & Car Rides 🌳 Loves walking 🪑 If you sit on a bench, she sits right beside you for comfort 🥹 🚗 Excellent in the car — even waits politely before getting in 🏃 Escape Tendency Because she can get startled, double safety (double leash + secure harness) is recommended. In familiar places, even if the leash slips, she stays close and doesn’t run far. ➡️ Once bonded, she wants to stay within her person’s sight ❤️ 🐾 Rescue Story Jisu lived one year at Gokseong Shelter with her sister Subin. On the day they were scheduled for euthanasia, both were rescued together. She was pregnant at the time and later gave birth to three puppies (she is 💗 Pony’s mom). Now, after everything she has survived… it’s finally her turn to be loved. 📍 Jisu is ready for her forever home. She doesn’t need much — just patience, kindness, and a safe heart to land in. 🤍 If you think she may be the missing piece of your family…♡

Story
Meet Hobart, a Pomeranian that was part of a rescue mission that saved 62 discarded puppy mill survivors. Given his tough start to life, Hobart spends most of his time decompressing and adjusting to a home environment. He enjoys quiet exploration with short bursts of social play with the resident dogs in his foster home. His ideal home will be one that can provide a predictable routine with patient, loving pawrents who can show him just how safe the right home can be. Hobart currently lives with five dogs (two large and three small) and two cats. He enjoys short, low-intensity play sessions with the small dogs and coexists peacefully with the larger dogs, whom he generally ignores. His interactions are brief and self-directed, and he benefits from being allowed to initiate contact at his own pace. He has also had positive interactions with the resident cats in his foster home. Hobart is most relaxed and secure when nested into soft blankets or on a heating pad. At this stage, providing quiet comfort and a sense of safety is more rewarding for him than traditional forms of play or enrichment. As his confidence grows, gentle exploration and low-pressure enrichment opportunities may become more meaningful to him. With the support of a loving family, Hobart will continue to show glimmers of adaptability and resilience that are truly rewarding to see. With the right environment and steady, compassionate care, Hobart has the potential to continue unfolding at his own pace. And what a special sight to see!
