Story
AVAILABLE Petey is a small guy who is looking for a permanent position as a lap dog. He is also looking for an adult only home, with just one adult, as he hasn't lived with children and gets possessive of his person. Petey has gotten along in a room with other small dogs running around here at CARA, but in intimate home settings he wants to be the only dog with his person, so no dog siblings for Petey. Petey doesn't bother cats. Petey also needs a low key home without a lot of activity or chaos. He is looking for a very quiet and calm person who just wants a lap friend. Petey is a pretty typical Chihuahua in personality, 7 pounds, neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations. He uses pee pads here at CARA in his kennel area, but will need time to learn housetraining at his new home. Please email citizensanimalrescue@gmail.com for an application. A pre-approved application is required. Once your application is approved, we will set up an appointment for you to meet this little guy. If you have any questions please contact 217-799-8858 or 217-655-4353. Always allow time for decompression with a new pet in a new home, and in time it becomes their new normal. Petey's world has been turned upside down with his owner going into assisted living, shelter life, and everything he knew changing. He needs to learn he is safe.

Story
Taz is a 1-year-old Rat Terrier/Chihuahua mix. He's a very thin 8-pounds, but he's already filling out with good food and lots of love. Taz was terrified at animal control, and with his foster for the first couple of days. He needs to figure out you're not trying to hurt him, and then he will come BEGGING for the love and belly rubs. He still gets a little overstimulated at times. So, you just have to follow his signals. He will crawl into your lap and lick your face until you're sure you have no face left. Ha! No young children in the home please. This poor guy has suffered enough in his short life. All he needs is a loving home with pawrents who can continue to help his trust of people grow every day. Taz gets along well with other small dogs, is pretty quiet so far, and rides fine in a car. He does well on a leash also. Taz has really come out of his shell. He loves playing with other small dogs, and has filled out nicely. He is now a healthy 10-pounds. This young cutie is going to make someone very happy!

Story
We can't have a Bonnie without a Clyde! Clyde was terrified at animal control, and he showed teeth to just about everyone. He LOVES other dogs, and quickly started to trust his foster mom. Sometimes, they just need patience and love. This is why foster families are SO important! Clyde was at risk of euthanasia due to his fear-based aggression. This poor little guy was just misunderstood. He is only a year old, and he is a little plump at 12-pounds. We think he's likely a Chihuahua/JRT mix. Clyde must have another friendly dog in his forever home. He would be best in a family without young children. Someone who can continue to help him to trust strangers would be ideal. Clyde is good on a leash, in the car, likes to cuddle, and he likes to play. He is fine in a crate, but you have to let him come out on his own time. He is terrified if you try to pull him out manually. Can you help bring joy to a little lad like Clyde? If so, he promises to return that love in spades. Please apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog His minimum adoption donation amount is $325. He is neutered, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives.

Story
Behind those sweet little eyes, miss Molly has had quite the past before being rescued. Molly is a 5-year-old, 7-pound Chihuahua. She was recovered from a hoarding home that had caught on fire. When officials pulled Molly from the home she was not breathing, and her gums were blue from lack of oxygen and smoke inhalation! She was rushed to our vet clinic where she was hospitalized to save her life. While there they discovered she was pregnant. She recovered well with vet care but unfortunately, she lost her puppies as they were born premature due to the stress of the fire and her rescue. Molly is still shy and prefers to watch the action from a safe and comfy blanket. But, she is opening up a little more each day. Molly will come snuggle next to you for some pets and attention (especially if treats are involved). She would be best in a home with another dog who is confondent and friendly. Molly does well with dogs her size but has not been around large dogs, cats, or small children due to her nervousness. She can be crated, doesn’t mind car rides, and likes time out of doors. 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 and heart worm preventatives.

Story
💖 Meet Jolie — Tiny, Sweet, and Totally Irresistible! Don’t let her size fool you — this 5-pound Chihuahua has a heart big enough to fill a room! At around 8–10 years old, Jolie is the definition of sugar and sunshine. She adores cuddles, gives the sweetest little kisses, and will happily melt into your arms for attention. Jolie is fabulous in the car — she rides like a pro — and is comfortable in a crate when needed. She’s potty pad trained but really loves to spend time outside soaking up the sunshine and sniffing the breeze. She’s a social little lady who gets along beautifully with small dogs, cats, and gentle older children. Her favorite things in life? Being near her person, getting loved on, and wrapping herself up in cozy moments. Jolie does have a “bum leg” from an old injury that can’t be fixed, but don’t tell her that — she’s got places to go and hearts to win! It doesn’t slow her down one bit. Whoever adopts this tiny treasure will be incredibly lucky — Jolie is pure love in a 5-pound package. 🌸 Please apply here: https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DBSR/Dog Her minimum adoption donation amount is $275 She is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, dewormed, heart worm checked, and on flea/tick and heart worm preventatives.
