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
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.
