Story
Peanut is a 2 year old, 12lb Chihuahua mix with a big personality packed into a little body. He is a very active boy who loves to play and enjoys going for walks to burn off his energy. Peanut is still learning his manners he will need some continued work with jumping up and house training, as he spent much of his time kenneled but he is smart and eager to learn with consistency and patience.Once Peanut gets to know you, he is incredibly sweet and snuggly and enjoys being close to his person. He can be intimidated by strangers, so he is looking for a calm, low traffic home where he can feel safe and build confidence at his own pace. With a loving, understanding family, Peanut will make a loyal and affectionate companion.His adoption fee is $250. If interested in meeting Peanut, apply at www.foreverhomedogs.org!All adoptions are $300 per dog for puppies under 1 year, $250 for adults 1 - 9 years old and $150 for senior dogs which include spay/neuter, micro-chipped and up-to-date on required shots. Senior dogs, at our discretion, are adopted out at $150 per dog because we know they will have less time with your family and may eventually have more needs as they get older. But we feel these dogs deserve to live out the rest of their lives as part of a loving family.

Story
Hiya! My name is Tater Tot—yes, like the snack, and yes, I’m just as irresistible. I’m a 7-year-young (or so I’m told) white Chihuahua mix, weighing in at a perfectly portable 15.2 pounds of pure sweetness. Let me tell you a little about myself. First of all, I am SO SWEET. Like, professional-level sweet. I love people, and if cuddling were an Olympic sport, I’d have a gold medal. Lap? Mine. Couch? Also mine. Bed? We can share. I’m a very good boy with excellent manners: Potty trained (as long as I’m let out often—I like a good schedule) Great on leash I listen to “no” Crate trained Car rides are my favorite Love going places and being your little sidekick When I’m not out adventuring, you’ll find me napping on the couch, preferably right next to you, because closeness is kind of my thing. I’m calm, affectionate, and always ready to remind you how special you are just by being near. I may be a little guy, but my heart is huge, and I’m looking for a forever home where I can give all my love, cuddles, and loyalty. If you’re searching for a sweet, well-mannered companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, I just might be your guy. Love, Tater Tot

Story
Meet Sephora 🤍 Sephora, a tiny 10-month-old Chihuahua weighing just 5 pounds. The world feels big and scary to me, and I’m still learning that I’m safe. I don’t know how to be brave yet… but I do know how to love. I don’t have a mean bone in my body. All I want is a quiet place and one kind human to sit beside. When I’m next to my favorite person, my little heart finally feels calm. I’m gentle, sweet, and very good with other small dogs, but loud, busy homes make me nervous. I’m not asking for much — just patience, softness, and a home where I can take my time learning to trust. If you give me love, I promise to give you my whole heart. Please adopt me. I just want to feel safe.
