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 - cost approx $20 per month). 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 has been spayed (Jan 2026) and cane through surgery with flying colors. She is doing well on a Farmer's Dog type of diet - her coat looks so much better than when she arrived and she has even regrown hair on her ears. Adoption fee $250. 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. January 16, 2026, 10:58 am

Story
Grandparents are suffering from severe dementia and can no longer take care of him. He is super cuddly and loves to be with people. He can be scared of men at first but does warm up. He does tinkle a little when he’s super excited and receiving pets from new people. He is about 2 years old. Spayed and up to date on all shits and vet visits. Looking for a home that can take care of him since we no longer can and love him even with that snaggle tooth (lol).

Story
*Currently in a long-term foster home. Inquire to set up a meeting* Rocky is a typical chihuahua; he is spunky, moody, and totally adorable. He weighs in at just 12 lbs. He is not a morning dog and prefers to sleep in. He does not need long walks and is okay just taking a walk around the yard. He is housebroken and will also use pee pads. He has the cutest prance. He gets along with other dogs, but does like to chase cats. November 8, 2025, 1:50 pm

Story
Meet Buddy — the 12-pound chihuahua who believes he is the one doing the adopting. Buddy is about 3 years old and has the confidence of a tiny king deciding who is worthy of his presence. He does not love everyone… but honestly, do any of us? The good news is that once Buddy chooses you, congratulations — you’ve been selected for VIP status. Once you’re in his inner circle, Buddy becomes your shadow, your snuggle buddy, and your personal space invader. You can dress him in sweaters, carry him around like royalty, or let him claim your lap as his permanent real estate. He loves it all. Winning him over is the tricky part — his little heart has a password, and he’s not sharing it with just anyone.December 16, 2025, 10:11 am
