Story
Sometimes a name just fits, and Precious is definitely one of those dogs. At 10 years young, she's a sweet, gentle, low-energy girl who can be timid at first, but give her a little time and her affectionate personality begins to shine. Precious gets along wonderfully with other dogs and has settled right into her foster pack (3 large dogs and 2 other chihuahuas) she's even starting to play a little! She loves being near her person—curling up beside her foster mom while she works or occasionally deciding they should share the office chair. She enjoys cuddles but is also perfectly content relaxing on her own. Once Precious bonds with you, she becomes your little lookout and will alert you when she hears something unfamiliar. She's shy with new visitors and just needs a little time to warm up. She's crate trained, walks well and has the cutest little prance. She gets around great and even uses a stool to hop onto the bed. Precious is also discovering TREATS—and she's a big fan! She's got quite the nose for people food, too. One exception: peanut butter is unacceptable. Precious has standards. She's still working on potty training and will let you know when she needs a nighttime potty break. She has no known pre-existing medical conditions. Precious may be 10, but she's still discovering new things and showing us more of her personality every day. She's looking for a patient, loving home where she can enjoy plenty of cozy spots, treats (hold the peanut butter!) and companionship. Sweet, gentle and just a little shy—that's our Precious. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hi, My name is Charlie. I am the cutest LOWRIDER. I was born on a cold day in January. I had 11 siblings, but my mom couldn’t feed us all. I was taken in by my foster mom when I was just two days old. I was so small. Now I’m a big boy! Ok, I may be small in size, but I have a big personality! I’m not yappy like a lot of small dogs so I won’t disturb your neighbors. I love playing with other dogs. I also like to play outside where I can chase bugs and play with leaves and sticks. I love chew toys like my Nylabone. I also like tug and crinkle toys. I’m crate trained and do okay in a crate, but I prefer to be with my people. Ever since I learned to go potty outside, I’ve had the run of the house and I even get to sleep in bed with my foster mom and dad. Did I mention I loooove food? I’ll show you some cool spin moves when you bring my meals. I also know how to sit patiently and wait my turn for treats. I’m new to walking on a leash, but I’ve been doing really well. I ride really well in the car and would love to be your co-pilot and best friend. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention I’m a great kisser 😉 Local adoption fee is $350(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Peanut has a big dog personality and if he sees other dogs, he gets super excited, and the yipping sounds scary, but he just wants to play!! He's a nipper and he likes to jump on you out of excitement and although he LOVES kids, he should be in.a home with older kids Peanut is still young, and has plenty of energy to play and run.He has been known to be a runner- He will take off and think, it's a GAME and it will be hard to catch him, so careful at the doors nd fences ;) But smart sweet pup loves kisses and lay on your lap . He walks good on a leash i put 2 one on harness and collar since I don't want him to get loose. (harnesses are too easy to get out of, so a martingale collar is his best collar) He can upset a bigger or smaller dog if they don't have a tolerance for nippiness.In the face kinda of thing he loved to play and he runs super fast lol 😆 they would have to be extra careful that he never gets out of front.Door or takes off he laughing fast 😅 Poor little guy almost got run over on these big streets all alone, and we NEVER want that to happen to him again. So now you know more about the firecracker named Peanut. He is a doll!! ADOPT....DON'T SHOP!! Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

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 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.
