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?

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.

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.
