Story
Skip! Skippity doodah is an 11-year-old, 10-pound Chihuahua mix. Skip's dad sadly away. Now Skip is hoping someone will give him a new home. He is truly adorable, timid but sweet, and loves to give kisses once he knows you. Skip is good on a leash, fine in a crate, quiet in the car, and would be okay with other laid back dogs. But, young kids and really rambunctious dogs would be too much for him. Skip likes to cuddle, but is willing to play too. He's the perfect balance of fun and calm. Skip is now our longest resident, and we aren't sure why. :,( He decided to advocate for himself with these words: "Hey you! My name's Skip. But you can call me Skipper because I'm in need of a first mate. I like to be the boss so I'd do best as an only dog in the home, but having some older laid back dogs around would be fine too. I'm very good at telling you how to make my meals but I'll eat them on my own schedule. I'll also let you know when I'm done in the yard (please be sure to have a fence). I'm a fair weather skipper so I like naps and rolling in the yard when it's sunny and warm, but limit my time outside if it's rainy or cold. It's hard to admit, but I'm not the best at telling you when I need to go out so frequent trips outside are helpful. My foster parents make me wear "pants" around the house as a precaution, but I am never fussy about putting them on. I can be a big sweetheart too so If you want to put me in your lap I'll give you plenty of kisses and I always appreciate a snuggly nap. Dog beds are a MUST, so make sure those are always available... a skipper needs his beauty rest. I'm really good in a crate and am happy to nap in there too. As much as I love to nap, I REALLY love to go on walks. My foster dad says I shave a whole minute per mile off his walking pace when we go out, so yeah... I'm fast... even if I don't walk straight all the time *shrug*. Like any skipper, I have a few quirks. I'm nervous around strangers (who isn't??). Things that shouldn't scare me make me jump (doors closing or stepping on crackly leaves). Things that SHOULD scare me I ignore (Roomba's, moving vehicles, lawnmowers). Sometimes I don't recognize familiar people or dogs so I can get a little barky but am never aggressive (duh, I'm the boss). I also don't trust shadows so sometimes I just bark at nothing (just like every good skipper should). All that to say, I know once you meet me you will look past any of my quirks. Now be an obedient first mate, and use those big paws to fill out an application and come work for me... your trustworthy Skipper. Sound like a match for you? Then, please apply: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog His minimum adoption donation amount is $245. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives.

Story
Rocky is an 11-year-old, 7-pound cutie with the best snaggle teeth . So far, he is very content at his foster home, and already a little bossy/jealous/fearful with the resident dogs. That's a Chihuahua for you. We think he's 100% perfect. Rocky asks for only calm dogs, and no children in his forever home. He loves walks, and will sleep cuddled up under the covers all night. He will wake you if he needs to potty. He's also said to be a "shameless beggar. But, his food motivation can be used for extra training. So there's a silver lining :) If that adorable face is calling your name, then please apply: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog His minimum adoption donation amount is $245.

Story
Angel alert! Lainey is a 2-year-old Long-haired Chihuahua mix. She weighs just 8-pounds, and she's sooo incredibly soft with the most beautiful markings. Lainey was said to be fearful upon meeting new people. But, she warms up to women very quickly. She's a huge snuggle bug, who gets along well with other small dogs. She absolutely hated/was terrified of the veterinarian. But, we don't know if that's due to his being a male, or just because he's the vet. Lol! Give this girl a chance, and you will never be lonely again. She's seriously such a good dog! She is crate and potty trained, good on a leash, in the car, and for sure in a lap. Please, no young children. Please apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog Her minimum adoption donation amount is $325. She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives.

Story
Starlily lost her humans after spending 11 years with them. She is spry for her age and looking for a new home to spend her seniors years. Due to her age, she is a bit cranky and needs to be the only dog in the home and to be able to do her own thing. She does not appreciate being picked up or touched unless she is seeking attention on her terms. Who can open their home to this special girl and let her live her life as she needs to?September 29, 2023, 11:12 pm

Meet sweet Zeb.  He came to Wish Bone with Zeena when his family could no longer care for them.  Zeb appears to be a 2-year old Chihuahua, weighing 8 lbs.  He is a super sweet, low key, calm little dog who loves nothing more than hanging out near his people, getting pet and playing with squeaky toys.  Zeb has been diagnosed with a grade 2 heart murmur.    His foster mom says he is good with her other dogs, enjoys sitting near you or just napping nearby.   He may be a little shy at first meeting, but within minutes is wagging his tail and enjoying lap time.   If you think Zeb might be just the right companion for your family, please submit an application to adopt.   His minimum adoption fee is $295 plus a $15 rabies registration fee for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.

Story
Tiny is a 4 year old female Chihuahua mix who weighs 16 lbs. This sweet girl's world has been turned upside down. She came from a home where she lived with her canine relatives, but the home had too many dogs and some of them had to be rehomed. As you can imagine, Tiny is unsure about a lot of things currently, and will take a little bit to adjust to new situations, environments, and people.  Although she is shy and nervous, her nature is super sweet. Even as she trembles, she wants to be in your lap and cuddle! Described as friendly, reserved, shy/timid, and loyal, Tiny is very well behaved and pretty quiet. She is house trained, potty-pad trained, and does great in her crate.  We think she'll thrive in a quieter home with a person to relax with.  Tiny needs a very secure fenced yard, and it will be best to keep her on a leash in that yard until she is comfortable at her new home.  Her future family will also need to ensure that she can't dart out a door.  She is doing well with the kids in her foster home, but they do still make her a little nervous. However, she allows pets, and will sometimes put her little paws on her kid buddy if they are on the couch together.   Given some grace and time to decompress and adjust, Tiny will make a great addition to your home! Her minimum adoption fee is $295 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents.  She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
