Story
Miss Peony is a young adult chihuahua mix looking for her forever home. She is timid but sweet with a touch of chihuahua spice. It takes a bit for her to warm up but after that she does well. She is playful and is learning about dog toys and bones. Peony kennels well and is doing well with potty training. She is an Oklahoma girl so this Iowa cold is an adjustment. She will use a potty pad if she is struggling to go outside in the cold. She does okay with other dogs as long as they are not getting in her face too much. If you are interested in meeting Peony, please fill out an application on our website www.foreverhomedogs.org Her adoption fee is $250All 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
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.

🌸 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.

Story
Meet Dove 🤍🕊️ A gentler soul simply does not exist. With her soft grey coat, dainty features, and adorable mutt magic (we’re guessing chihuahua/min pin), Dove is just as precious on the inside as she looks on the outside. At 2.5 years old and 16 perfect pounds, she’s the definition of a tender-hearted companion. Dove clearly knew love before life took a hard turn—after her family was evicted, she suddenly found herself searching for safety. Even with all the upheaval, she remains incredibly sweet, trusting, and eager to bond with her people. This little angel is: ✨ House trained ✨ Pee-pad trained ✨ Crate trained (though she’d very much prefer not to use one—she wants to be close to her person or another dog) ✨ Dog friendly, people loving, & endlessly gentle Her personality is the cutest mix of nervous + chill: she’ll play for a few minutes, then trot right back to your lap for comfort. She doesn’t chew things, doesn’t jump, doesn’t bark—she simply whines politely when she wants to be picked up or cuddled…which is basically always. 💁‍♀️ Dove is incredibly smart and treat-motivated. She learned doggy stairs in five minutes and now fully embraces her princess era, going up and down the bed like she owns the place. She’d make an amazing apartment dog, a wonderful match for a senior, and with her gentle nature, focus, and trainability, she could even be a fantastic therapy dog. Dove is ready to spend the holidays in a warm, loving home—snuggled close, soaking up the affection she adores. If you’re looking for a soft, easygoing sweetheart who wants nothing more than to love and be loved, Dove is your girl. 🤍

Story
Meet Willow! 🌿💛 This petite 8.5-pound chihuahua mix is about 2 years old, and she’s as gentle as her name suggests. Willow came to us after her owner could no longer care for her, and she’s been taking her time adjusting to all the changes. She’s a bit more shy than her mama, Jada, but once Willow feels safe, her sweet personality begins to bloom. She’s calm, affectionate, and loves her quiet moments with someone she trusts. Willow does fine with other dogs, but what she truly wants is a patient, loving home where she can continue to come out of her shell. With a little time and reassurance, this sweet girl is sure to blossom into the loyal, loving companion she was meant to be. 💕🌸
