Rocky may weigh just 9 pounds, but this spirited Chihuahua is packed with personality and athletic flair! Affectionate to the core, Rocky is a certified cuddle bug who loves being close to his humans—when he’s not scaling furniture like a four-legged mountaineer, that is.He came into rescue with his brother Duke, and while both are sweethearts, Rocky’s got a bit more swagger. He’s the confident one, always ready to explore, lead the pack, and claim the highest perch in the room. His love of climbing and natural agility make him a fantastic candidate for dog sports or just a fun-loving companion who’ll keep you entertained.Rocky gets along well with other dogs and is perfectly fine with cats. He’s currently brushing up on his house manners and learning the ropes of indoor life. With a little guidance and a lot of love, he’ll be a loyal, lively addition to any home.If you’re looking for a tiny adventurer with a big heart and even bigger potential, Rocky’s ready to leap into your life!_________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Rocky is $ 525.00WANT TO MEET RockyThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Rocky and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Story
Duke is a young Chihuahua with a sweet soul and a quiet charm that wins hearts instantly. He arrived with his brother Rocky, and while Rocky takes the lead, Duke is the mellow counterpart—more passive, more peaceful, and just as loving.Don’t let his calm demeanor fool you—Duke has a curious streak and a love for climbing! Whether it’s a couch, a cat tree, or a cozy perch by the window, Duke is always seeking the high ground. His natural agility and light frame make him a great candidate for agility training or just some fun backyard adventures.Duke gets along beautifully with other dogs and is perfectly fine with cats. He’s active enough to enjoy playtime and walks, but he’s not bouncing off the walls—just the right balance for a home that wants a playful pup without the chaos._________________________________________________________________________Adoption Donation for Duke is $ 525.00WANT TO MEET DukeThe first step would be for you to go to our website at www.aear.org and then to the “Adopting a Pet” page to read about our Adoption Process which will answer many of your questions and then to fill out an Adoption Application.Also, please visit our very active Facebook Page for updates on Duke and our other adoptable pets with AEAR - www.facebook.com/aear.orgAll our animals available for adoption are living in foster homes.

Story
**Max: The Upside-Down Enthusiast Who Just Wants Your Undivided Attention (and a Second Chance at Forever!)**Prepare for a daily dose of delightful antics, because **Max** is here to turn your world (and sometimes his own head!) upside down! This charming approximately 1-year-old pup, weighing in at a compact **about 15 pounds**, is a master of the goofy gaze, often found lying down with his head delightfully inverted, observing the world from a whole new angle. We're pretty sure he's just trying to figure out if your socks are more interesting from a different perspective.Max is a true lover, overflowing with affection and playfulness! He's a silly soul who thrives on interaction, and let's just say he's quite *creative* when it comes to getting your attention. If he's feeling a little overlooked, he might invent a fun new game (which sometimes involves a playful nibble – we're working on redirecting that enthusiastic communication!). He just loves his people *so much* that he needs to be involved in all the action!Now, our sweet Max recently found himself looking for a new adventure after a previous adoption just wasn't quite the perfect puzzle piece for him. Think of it as a pre-screening! This handsome fella has a slight case of the "fidgets" (aka a tiny bit of anxiety), which just means he's been waiting for a consistent, loving home where he can feel safe, secure, and showered with positive attention. A predictable routine and lots of affection are his secret sauce to happiness!Max is already a responsible citizen: he's completely up-to-date on all his shots! He's ready to bring endless cuddles, playful romps, and a whole lot of laughter to a home that understands his big heart and unique way of communicating. If you're ready for a loyal companion who might just inspire you to see the world from a new angle, Max is your guy!**Adoption Fee: $450**Ready to give Max all the attention (and head-tilting admiration) he deserves? 🐾 Fill out an application at **www.biggiepawsrescue.org** and let's get this silly sweetheart into his forever home! This time, for good!---Please note: All adopters must be prepared to provide a loving and supportive home for Max, including consistent positive reinforcement training, engagement activities to keep his mind busy, and veterinary care to manage his anxiety if needed.DATCP # 494550
