Story
11 years old. Wiggles is not good with cats and I would not trust him with small children. He had a spinal injury several months ago and is fully recovered, however the vet recommended he stay on medication to keep his spine stable, the medication is gabapentin and costs about $27/month. Wiggles had a big dog companion for 8years and he adored her so he would probably be fine with another big dog, I am uncertain about other small dogs. Wiggles is also a barker, which is common for his breed.

Story
Hi, my name is Prissy!!! I am an energetic, GORGEOUS Chi-mix who is looking for a new furever home. I would do well with a family with older children or someone who is home and looking for some great company. I am good at coexisting with cats, and small dogs & have even given kisses to a guinea pig! Crate trained & Housebroken? Check and check! I am great on a leash & love to hand with my Chiweenie foster brother! One of my favorite activities is chewing on a bone. Adorable? Yep, that’s me! I tilt my head when listening to my foster mom. I want her to know that I am paying attention! I am a curious little lady who loves to cuddle and am looking for a spot of my own right next to YOU! My foster family says I am a big love bug in a small package! If you would like to meet me, please fill out a preadoption application and a CDR volunteer will get back to you just as quick as they can! Smooches!!! Prissy

Story
Hello! My name is Churro and I am a sweet and loving four-year-old Chihuahua who would make a wonderful addition to any family. Despite my small size, I have a big personality and am full of energy and affection. I am great around children and other dogs and love to play and explore. However, my world has changed a lot in a short amount of time and I do suffer from some separation anxiety, a home where someone is usually around would be best for me. My foster family says I am an incredibly loyal companion and am always eager to please, making me an ideal furry friend. I truly love nothing more than curling up on a lap for a good snooze, so if you're looking for a furry lapdog, look no further than ME!  If you're interested in adopting Churro, please fill out a pre-adoption application and a CDR volunteer will get back to you just as quick as they can! Cuddles and kisses-Churro

Hello! My name is Mabel and I am an incredibly sweet and affectionate gal. My background is unknown and the vet thinks I am about a year. I am likely a terrier Chihuahua lab mix.

Everyone loves my derpy smile, but I love sleeping in my Foster's lap, cuddles, and playing!! Since I am young I have LOTS of energy! I generally keep a clean crate overnight but am still working on potty training when it comes to peeing in the house. I am very friendly to other humans and I want to play with every dog I meet! If you would like to meet this dog please call Teri at 630-897-7454. The adoption fee is $225. Adoption fee includes: - microchip - spay/neuter - age appropriate vaccinations: Bordetella, DH(L)PP, rabies - heartworm preventive & flea/tick preventive - deworming

Story
Peppadew is a spicy, fashionista, close to 7 years old who could be the star in a potential new TV show, "Golden Girls - Canine Edition." She has many positive qualities and a few that her new family can continue to help her improve upon. Peppadew loves people and will consider everyone she meets her new best friend. She will absolutely enjoy having all eyes on her as she models a new gown or sweater.Peppadew has done well with other dogs in the house but will need slow introductions to new dogs when out for a walk. She does great during car rides and enjoys being outside when it is not too cold. She can be a bit protective of her toys and food. She seems to like her kibble with a bit of water, but who doesn't like a little gravy? Like most seniors, she is a good napper and will cuddle up with a blanket on the couch during the day. At night, when the collar comes off, she will happily burrow in the blankets of her crate.Peppadew does well at signaling when it's time for a visit to the powder room. She will usually stand by the door and is even learning to ring a bell. We are not sure how she behaves with children or cats. Mostly she prefers people! If you're looking for a gentle and mature diva who likes to be the star of the show, then Peppadew may be for you. We can guarantee she is eager to meet you!Interested in adopting this dog?
