When responding PLEASE use application at sparrowdogs.com, or you can also provide your information via email,such as:home, family, yard/fence, other pets, ages of people in the home, work hours...Thanks! Meet sweet Vivian...or as her friends call her, Vivi!! The name suits her, Vivi has tons of VVVVVVVVRROOOOM!! She is just 9 months old and we think she is part Chihuahua and part Jack Russel Terrier. As a home that has loved JRT's and adore their personalities, Vivi fits the bill. She has the look as well, a nice little JRT face with perhaps more of the Chi size. She is just a petite 10 pounds. Vivi was at a very large and busy shelter, where she was very well taken care of, but she was a bit overwhelmed with all the hustle and bustle. She was not settling in well and certainly not letting her little sunshine of a personality light up. Happens so often, it is just a tough environment and really hard to get a good read on who this little dog really is. So, she came out to us and joined our crew, and boy, did she shine! The first moments she was very cautious, but she checked us out and we passed the sniff test, lol. Vivi is great with the other dogs but has made Joey, another foster dog( a young maltipoo) her best pal. The two of them LOVE to zoom around the yard and play tag. Although Vivi can be a very active dog, she is also a world class snuggler. If there is a lap to be had, she will claim it as her own. Vivi has been doing great with her housebreaking, we do take very frequent breaks outside and her new family will need to continue to reinforce her training. Vivi will do best in an active home, a fenced yard with another active dog would be great. She is shy meeting new people, so she could use some patience and understanding that she is not going to warm up right away, she can be a little cautious. We think she will be fine with older kids, no little ones at this time. She is a wonderful little dog and will be lucky person/family's best pal!! Her adoption fee is $400. Please email Kristine with your info/application at joysparrows@gmail.com.

Story
Maeve is an 11 year old Chihuahua who was dumped on the streets of Peoria, Illinois in critical condition. She was covered in fleas, painfully underweight, her nails overgrown and her trust in people just about gone. All signs point to her being a former backyard breeder dog, discarded when she was no longer useful. But here is the thing about Maeve.....She did not give up. Fast forward to today and Maeve is still 11....just wiser, softer and quietly hopeful. She is sweet, loving and trying so hard to believe that the rest of her life can be better than everything before. She would thrive as the only dog in the home. She is not a fan of other dogs but she does well with cats. Because of her past small children are not in her picture. She is house trained, but cannot manage stairs. This little girl does not need much - just calm, understanding home and a human who sees her worth and gets her!

Story
Bernard Thomas aka Bernie is a dynamic little man that weighs in at under 7 lbs full grown! He is about 3 years old and he is housebroken and doesn’t really need to be crated. Bernie is fabulous with cats, likes small dogs and some bigger dogs (mostly calm, chill ones), and would prefer a home with no young kids. He is a typical chihuahua and if you know chihuahuas you know what we are saying. He loves car rides, belly rides, and lap seating with his people. It doesn’t take Bernie long to warm up and he does well at the vet. He fits in his foster home with a larger pack of dogs and cats and two humans experienced with chihuahuas. His fosters want him to go to a home that know chihuahuas and understand their needs. This little guy was dumped on the streets and deserves to live his life in comfort! Bernie is adoptable now!

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

Meet Berdie! 🐾 Berdie is an almost 2-year-old sweetheart who's looking for a family to call her own. She has the perfect balance of playful and affectionate, making her a wonderful companion for someone looking for a loyal best friend. About Berdie: 🐶 Almost 2 years old ✅ Crate trained 🏡 House training is a work in progress 🚶 Moderate activity level ❤️ Loves to cuddle and be close to her people 🐕 Dog friendly 🐈 Can live with cats, but she'll need a dog-savvy cat. Berdie may chase cats when they run, so slow introductions and proper management are important. 👧 Good with children, though she does best with calm, gradual introductions to new people. Berdie may be a little reserved when meeting someone new, but once she feels comfortable, her sweet, affectionate personality shines through. Whether you're relaxing on the couch or heading out for a walk, Berdie is happiest when she's by your side. If you're looking for a loving companion who's equal parts cuddle buddy and adventure partner, Berdie may be the perfect addition to your family!

Story
Meet PD, an 11 year old Chihuahua. This little guy is fully potty trained! He has never had a single accident in his foster home. His favorite things are his people, his furry foster brother, belly scratches, being the boss of his household, and his twice a day treats (the only way he takes his medication). PD has been diagnosed with an enlarged heart and a heart murmur, requiring daily medication. Also has kidney concerns which are maintained on a prescription kidney-support diet. He would benefit from losing some weight (he's quite chunky) with light exercise. It will be beneficial for his overall health. PD does not like dogs bigger than he is. He also does not like when his foster brother is getting attention and he isn't, or when someone gets too close while he is on your lap (he can be a bit possessive with his people). This special guy needs a calm and loving home that does not have a lot of new people coming around. He can be somewhat spicy towards new people as he is very protective of his family. His furever family must also be willing to continue caring for his medical needs. He's been the bestest boy in his foster home. Through a generous Senior Pet Adoption Grant from the Petfinder Foundation, we are able to cover his adoption fee and the first $700 of his prescription food and medication for a loving adopter! PD is neutered, current on vaccines, heartworm test was negative, receives monthly flea/tick/heartworm preventatives, dewormed, and is microchipped with registration paid.
