Story
Meet Donnie!He is a sweet senior Chihuahua boy looking for a home. He may be in his golden years, but he also has a heart of gold with so much love to give.He is 10+ years old but very spry and has a good amount of energy but also loves to cuddle up with you on the couch. He was abandoned by the side of the road with his best buddy Emmett. Unfortunately due to years of neglect his best friend succumbed to his health problems. Despite everything he has been through, Donnie still loves people.I strongly feel that Donnie would be happiest in a home with another dog. He has shown since the loss of his best friend that he feels much better when he is with my pups.He is being fostered by me and I am completely in love with him. Only the best will do for Donnie because that is absolutely what he deserves. He is neutered and will be up to date on vaccines and microchipped at time of adoption. For more information you can contact me.

Story
Hi, my name is Darby! She is around 1 year old, and weighs around 5 lbs. She is shy at first, but warms up quickly. She loves to cuddle but also loves to play with toys and other dogs. She can be nervous and skittish outside so needs time to safely build confidence when outdoors. She is potty pad trained. For more information about Darby, you can contact me.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. I want A "FUR"ever" HOME!  Read the FULL Bio to see where I am located and contact info:    2026180 Meet Tequila! He’s small, spicy, and comes with a warning label! Meet Tequila, a 1½-year-old, 13-pound Chihuahua mix who may be tiny, but he has enough personality to fill an entire room! Tequila is good with other dogs and older kids, but cats? Well… let’s just say he considers them an exciting opportunity for a high-speed chase. A cat-free home would probably be best! And whatever you do, DO NOT let him see a doggie gate and assume it will contain him. Tequila can either jump over it OR climb over it. Apparently, nobody told him he was supposed to be a small, contained dog! ‍♀️ Loves to unlive stuffed animals Loves FOOD because obviously Knows basic commands Good with other dogs Good with older kids Will chase cats Doggie gates are merely a suggestion ⚖️ A perfectly spicy 13 lbs Tequila is equal parts sweet, sassy, athletic, and chaotic. He’ll happily show off his commands… right before plotting his next escape from whatever barrier you foolishly thought would contain him. If you’re looking for a little dog with a BIG personality, questionable respect for boundaries, and a serious passion for snacks and stuffed-animal destruction, Tequila might just be your guy! ️ Adopt Tequila. Because life is too short for boring dogs! ❤️ *Tequila will be ready for adoption mid September so don't miss out* Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story
Abbie Gale's age is UNK. She was a shelter pup that was used for breeding prior to being found. She was abused, then in a shelter for a few wks prior to my adopting her. She has no clue how to play with other dogs, but loves to hang out with them. She doesn't know how to play with toys (still breaks my heart 5 yrs later). We're guessing she's prob close to 8 or 9. She has a quiet demeanor about her. Rarely ever barks. Loves to tan her black fur in the sun, and hunt for lizards, go on walks. She's a perfect cuddle bug pup, and loves belly rubs. She just needs a little time in the very beginning to get to know her person(s). Abbie is the sweetest girl that needs the right forever person. Are you it???
