Story
MIMI is a sweet and spunky 12 year old Chihuahua in need of a forever home so she can be comfortable and spoiled in her senior years.  Mimi came to our shelter after her family of 12 years was unfortunately uprooted and unable to take her with them.  Mimi is initially timid around new people and seems to like women more than men (although she loved her dad who handed her over to us and he loved her). Given time she will gain trust and become much more outgoing.  Mimi gets very attached to “her person” and wants to be held and loved, her favorite place to be is on her persons lap.  Mimi is also independent and will snuggle on her bed and not complain if she can’t be held.  Mimi is still active and loves to explore the backyard with her foster brother and sister (both large dogs).  She gets along well with dogs and cats and had a dog companion in her former home.  Mimi also loves walks and gets very excited when she sees her leash.  Mimi is housebroken and will run to the door and let you know when she needs to go out.  At her foster home, Mimi likes to have her bed in her crate for a “safe place” away from the other dogs.  Mimi has been seen by an ophthalmologist for cataracts. The lens in her right eye has a mature cataract and a luxated lens but is not painful. Her left eye has a cataract also. Mimi is very good about getting her eye drops (2 different drops to keep her comfortable and to keep her condition from progressing). She will need to be on these eyedrop for life and will need an annual visit with the eye doctor. Mimi's bloodwork at intake looked good and her heart is strong and healthy. Mimi will be spayed prior to adoption. she is doing well on a Farmer's Dog type of diet. Adoption fee is reduced because we know you will have expenses down the road ($200). If you are  the family Mimi is looking for, please fill out an adoption application at www.companimals.org. Excellent vet references are a must. References and home visit required for all of our pups. November 24, 2025, 12:31 am

Story
Introducing ACE! Ace is the place : ) Ace is a two-year-old, neutered, male who weighs approx 30 lbs. Up-to-date on vaccines and had his annual vet check at Stoneback Veterinary Associates in late March, housebroken, good with cats, grew up with kids and can live with a dog. Ace is a very shy and timid guy and will take some time to warm up but, once he does, he’ll be your sidekick.  He is going to need some training and socialization as puppies always do. Ace is quite the love -  if you are sitting, he is on your lap, wanting to cuddle. As far as we know he hasn’t been exposed to a lot of dogs, and will need time to transition into a home with other pets. His foster mom has two dogs and he seems skittish when they approach or if they try to initiate play with him. She feels over time he will gradually feel more comfortable. He will definitely need positive training and confidence building to make him a well rounded pup. It’s always important to socialize your puppy to many different things, so they can learn to adapt in a normal life. Ace is a wonderful soul who is looking for that right home who can help him grow to be the bravest boy ever. Interested in adding a little Ace to your family? Please fill out an application at www.companimals.org. Adoption $300December 7, 2025, 7:51 pm
