Story
Hello Everyone, My name is Anise and I’m a 7 yr old Chihuahua lil girl who is as sweet as can be. I am looking for my happily ever after. I was surrendered and now enjoying life with my foster family as I wait for my forever family. Investing your time and love into me will be so worth it!! I am an absolute sweetheart. I am a sweet, loving and smart lil girl who just wants a loving family. I was surrendered by my elderly owner due to her inability to continue to care for me and I will need a little time, love and patience adjusting to my new home. I am good with respectful children and other animals. Please add a lotta unconditional love, sloppy kisses, tail wags and endless happiness to your family and contact jbrescuerangers@yahoo.com for an adoption application and bring me home. I will come with the works (spayed, up to date on everything, micro chipped, fecal, heart worm tested, monthly heartworm, flea and tick prevented, a free vet visit and medical insurance). What more could a new family ask for? Love and Kisses, Anise

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 Scout, an adorable 20lb Terrier/Chi/Cattle Dog type mix who came from local animal control as an unclaimed stray. He is a sweet boy who loves to be with people and receive attention. He knows sit and paw and will happily offer those commands whenever you would like, sometimes even when you are not asking for them. Scout has lots of energy and is working on leash manners. Because of his dog reactivity, he will need some work on walks. A fenced yard would be great for him. He does love to run around and sniff in the grass. He can tend to grab the leash to try to tug or be a little mouthy when he gets excited. He is looking for a home with no children or other pets.

Story
Meet Chewy, a 3-year-old Chihuahua mix, weighing about 13 pounds. He was found as a stray and never reclaimed, so now he is looking for a forever home! Chewy is very nervous and was mortified when he first came to us. He has made tremendous strides, though, and now enjoys pets and hanging out with his people. Chewy will need patience as he adjusts and gets to know you and starts to trust. Fast movements can spook him, but we have made lots of progress as far as leashing/unleashing and petting. He loves to go outside with his people to run around, sniff, and play with squeaky plush toys. He does chase the toys when thrown, but he likes to hold them instead of bringing them back. Chewy has met a few similar sized dogs and done okay. He does tend to match the energy of the other dogs, so if the other dog isn’t a fan, neither is Chewy. He has run around outside in a run next to one of our medium dogs and seemed to get excited when she got the zoomies. We are hoping with time and patience in a home, he will blossom! Chewy is looking for a home without children. It would be beneficial for an adopter to have experience with nervous dogs or finicky chihuahuas.Chewy has some allergies that were causing him to have a lot of skin irritation and upset stomach. He is now on a fish-based diet (Purina ProPlan Sensitive Skin and Stomach- Salmon and Rice) as well as Apoquel, once daily, which helped tremendously. He will need to be on this long term.

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.
