Story
Jester is a great guard dog who would do best in a home without little kids. He is treat motivated and does great on a leash. Jester is very timid and shy but is super loyal. He has lived with a cat before. His current owner’s health is poor so he cannot be well cared for at the moment. Please consider giving Jester the chance to show you his love and loyalty.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Rooster is not currently available for adoption at our shelter - instead we are helping his owner by listing him as a Courtesy Listing, hoping that we can help them someone that will welcome Rooster into their home! Rooster was originally adopted from Safe Haven over two years ago but he did not thrive in the shelter environment so we are hoping to find him another home that he can settle into instead of being returned to the shelter setting. Please read through his profile information below and contact his owner directly if you're looking for more information or potentially interested in meeting him.      His owner's contact info is down below for anyone potentially interested....   “Rooster is a sweet and loving chihuahua who came from a breeding situation in a puppy mill before being adopted into a family. Despite his difficult start, he has a gentle heart and so much love to give. Rooster does wonderfully with children and is patient even with little hands tugging on his fur. He’s also good with cats, and currently lives with one peacefully. He can be nervous around most adult men, so a calm, understanding environment will help him feel safe. He thrives on structure and routine, especially when it comes to his bathroom schedule. Stressful situations can sometimes lead to accidents, but with consistency and patience he does very well. Rooster’s ideal home would be one that offers stability, love, and the chance to relax. Once he feels secure, his affectionate and loyal nature really shines through. He is a special little dog who deserves a forever home where he can finally feel at peace.   Owners info: Mary Cox silvaluna87@yahoo.com Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 24, 2025, 10:01 pm

Story
Meet Hera! This 2-year-old, 13.5-pound Chihuahua may be small in size, but she has a huge heart and an even bigger love for snuggling. Hera is a gentle soul who starts out shy, but once she feels safe, she blossoms into the most loyal, cuddly companion you could ever hope for. Hera adores children and loves nothing more than curling up next to them for naps. She’s also potty trained and crate trained, and while she was a little unsure before, she’s really come into her own in a loving home. She gets along well with other mild-mannered dogs, though she may be a little shy when first meeting them. While Hera doesn’t trust men right away, she’s not aggressive—just cautious and looking for patience and kindness. She would thrive in a calm, gentle home where she can continue to build confidence and share her quiet, devoted love. If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly girl who’ll warm your heart (and your lap), Hera is ready to be your little shadow.

Story
🌸 Meet Piper! 🌸 This 7-year-old, 8-pound chihuahua mix has a heart as big as her ears—and she’s SO ready to share it with her forever family. 🐾 Piper and her sister Chloe were picked up as strays and ended up in a high-kill shelter, but everything changed the moment they came into rescue. Piper has bloomed into the sweetest, most affectionate little companion. She’s gentle, loving, and happiest when she’s snuggled up right beside her person. She melts into your arms like she’s been waiting her whole life for that moment. ✨ She’s confident, easygoing, and absolutely the kind of dog who makes you feel chosen. Plus—she’s house trained and crate trained! 🙌 If you’re searching for a tiny, loyal shadow who will follow you from couch to bed and everywhere in between, Piper is your girl.

Meet Tater Tot! 🥔❤️ This adorable 7-year-old, 15-pound chihuahua mix is as sweet as his name suggests! Tater Tot is incredibly friendly with people and loves everyone he meets — he’s the kind of pup who brightens your day with just a tail wag. When it comes to other dogs, Tater Tot does best with calm, gentle female pups who won’t overwhelm him. He’s not a fan of rambunctious play, but he’s happy to coexist peacefully with the right canine companion. Tater Tot is simply looking for his perfect match — a home that appreciates his loving nature and gives him the cozy, content life he deserves. 💛 If you’re searching for a loyal little buddy who adores humans, Tater Tot might be the one!
