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
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 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!

Meet Muggle! ✨ This calm, gentle 4-year-old chihuahua mix weighs about 15 pounds and has a wonderfully easygoing personality.

Muggle is quiet, sweet, and friendly with everyone he meets. He gets along great with other dogs and would be a lovely companion for someone looking for a mellow, loving little guy.

Story
Meet Dove! 🤍🕊️ This little sweetheart is as gentle as her name. With her soft grey coat and adorable mutt charm (we’re guessing chihuahua/min pin), Dove is an absolute beauty inside and out. She clearly knew love in her previous home, but after her owners were evicted, she suddenly found herself needing a safe place to land. Even with all the change, she remains incredibly sweet and trusting. Dove is about 2.5 years old, weighs 16 pounds, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. She may be a tad shy when you first meet her, but it doesn’t take long before she’s leaning in for affection. We believe she’s house trained, too! Dove is ready to spend the holidays in a warm, loving home of her own. If you’re looking for a gentle, easygoing companion, this precious girl is waiting for you.
