Story
Meet Brock!This little guy is looking for a patient, understanding home where he can settle in at his own pace. He can be wary of new people and may need a few meet-and-greets before he feels comfortable, but once you`ve earned his trust, you`ll gain a loyal companion.He`ll do best in a quiet home with older teenage children who understand and respect his boundaries or a home without children. A secure fenced yard is required since he isn`t comfortable walking on a leash yet. He`s not fully potty trained but does well with potty pads. He can continue learning those skills with a consistent routine.We`re not aware of how he responds to dogs outside of the dogs he has previously lived with, so any introductions to resident pets should be done slowly and thoughtfully.If you`re willing to give him the time, patience, and space he needs to feel safe, this sweet Chihuahua is ready to find the forever family he`s been waiting for.

Story
Meet Brenda!Surrendered through no fault of her own, she`s ready to find a family to call her own. After spending much of her life raising litters, this little lady deserves a home where she can be the focus.She may be a bit shy at first but warms up quickly with gentle encouragement. She`s good on a leash, so a fenced yard isn`t required. While not fully potty trained, she does use potty pads and will benefit from a consistent routine. She would do best with older teenage children who understand dog boundaries or in an adult-only home.We were informed that she has some resource guarding with food, and possibly toys, so she should be fed separately from other pets and be mindful when it comes to toys during playtime. We`re also not sure how she does with dogs outside of the ones she previously lived with, so proper introductions are needed.When she needs a little extra comfort, she enjoys burrowing under elevated beds and may seek out cozy hiding spots while settling into her new home.If you`re looking for a gentle companion who deserves a fresh start and a patient home, she may be a potential fit.

Story
Meet Bruiser!This little old man is looking for a quiet place to spend the rest of his golden years with. At 16, he found himself in a rescue through no fault of his own and is hoping for a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time.He will do best in an adult-only home with a secure fenced yard, as he isn`t comfortable walking on leash or being leashed. He is not fully potty trained but does well with potty pads at this time. He may continue to improve with those skills if he is to be on a consistent potty routine. New people make him nervous and scared, so he will need a few meet and greets to build confidence and trust.We`re not aware of how he responds to dogs outside of the dogs he has previously lived with, so any introductions to resident pets should be done slowly and thoughtfully. He can be bossy, so even a home without other dogs would be okay too.If you are looking for a low-key companion and are open to letting him settle in at his own pace, this little guy might be it.
