Story
🐾 Meet Leita 🐾 This tiny 10lb sweetheart is ready to find her people! At just 1 year old, Leita is full of personality and love—especially if you’ve got a cozy lap and a soft blanket waiting for her. ✨ The details: • Chihuahua, 1 year old, ~10 lbs • Loves kids ❤️ • Dog friendly 🐶 • Very curious about cats (will need a dog-savvy cat) 🐱 • Kennel trained with no accidents (but would much rather be with you!) • Still fine-tuning house training • Not leash trained yet—she prefers to be carried like the little queen she is 👑 Leita isn’t a constant barker, but she will let you know when she has opinions—especially if she feels she’s spent enough time in her kennel 😄 At night, she’ll sleep in her kennel… but if you let her, she’d happily snuggle up in bed instead. Blankets + cuddles are her love language. If you’re looking for a tiny best friend with a little sass and a lot of love, Leita might just be it. Apply at www.fosterpetoutreach.org

Story
Sweet MAEVE is proof that learning to be loved after so many years and disappointments can take a bit. We are not out of the woods but we are getting close! Maeve means "the cause of great joy" and I am hoping that she will be someone's greatest joy til the end of her days. Also, her pure joy still shines through even after people have let her down so horribly. We are waiting on blood work. She does have a heart murmur (not unusual in an older dog). She has gained some much needed weight and best of all.....she was released for a BATH. I love giving a foster the first bath in rescue. You can see the calm and change as their old life is washed away making room for a fresh new start. Maeve enjoyed the warm water and the oatmeal shampoo. She is now snoring on her bed! More to come!

Story
Meet PD, an 11 year old Chihuahua. This little guy is fully potty trained! He has never had a single accident in his foster home. His favorite things are his people, his furry foster brother, belly scratches, being the boss of his household, and his twice a day treats (the only way he takes his medication). PD has been diagnosed with an enlarged heart and a heart murmur, requiring daily medication. Also has kidney concerns which are maintained on a prescription kidney-support diet. He would benefit from losing some weight (he's quite chunky) with light exercise. It will be beneficial for his overall health. PD does not like dogs bigger than he is. He also does not like when his foster brother is getting attention and he isn't, or when someone gets too close while he is on your lap (he can be a bit possessive with his people). This special guy needs a calm and loving home that does not have a lot of new people coming around. He can be somewhat spicy towards new people as he is very protective of his family. His furever family must also be willing to continue caring for his medical needs. He's been the bestest boy in his foster home. Through a generous Senior Pet Adoption Grant from the Petfinder Foundation, we are able to cover his adoption fee and the first $700 of his prescription food and medication for a loving adopter! PD is neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm test was negative, receives monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventatives, dewormed, and is microchipped with registration paid.

Story
Meet Benji — Your Sweet, Snuggly, Playful Little Gentleman Benji is a 3‑year‑old, 17‑pound bundle of affection who lives for human connection. This boy absolutely adores cuddles, gentle pets, and being close to his people. If you’re looking for a loyal shadow who melts into your lap, Benji is your guy. When he’s not soaking up love, he’s happily entertaining himself in the yard with his giggle ball or favorite toys. He’s social with other dogs but also confident enough to enjoy his own space — the perfect balance of friendly and independent. Benji has shown curiosity toward neighborhood cats, though he hasn’t been fully tested, so a proper introduction would be needed. He’s crate trained and currently working on his potty training, making steady progress with routine and patience. This sweet, affectionate boy is ready to blossom in a nurturing home where he can feel safe, loved, and part of the family. If you’re looking for a gentle companion with a big heart and a playful spirit, Benji is waiting to meet you.
