Story
Meet Lexi, the adorable three-year-old, 12-pound sweetheart with a heart as big as her Chihuahua personality. Lexi may be petite in size, but she carries an abundance of love and charm. At just three years old, Lexi has already faced the challenge of being heartworm-positive, but that hasn't dampened her spirits. Her resilience and sweet nature make her an ideal companion for anyone looking to provide a loving lap for her to rest in. Lexi is on the lookout for a foster-to-adopt home where she can receive the care and attention she needs while undergoing her medical treatment (paid by us). Your willingness to open your heart and home to Lexi during this transitional period can make a significant difference in her life. If you reside in the White Plains area and are ready to embrace the joys of fostering and potentially adopting this lovable little girl, you have the chance to be a crucial part of Lexi's journey toward health and happiness. Don't miss the opportunity to be the lap Lexi has been dreaming of. Reach out to inquire about fostering to adopt and make a positive impact on this charming canine's life. Together, you and Lexi can create a bond that will last a lifetime, filled with love, warmth, and the joy of having a delightful companion by your side.

ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/13550Hi! My name is Peter and I’m part of The Potter Pups which arrived at OPH on March 28.I’m guessed to be a 8 week old mixed breed dog. My weight at the moment is 4.2 pounds, but I’ve got lots of growing to do still. I'm a little on the shy side, and happy to be held. To see more pictures and learn more about this litter visit their foster mom’s blog: AnotherGoodDog.orgI'm searching for…- Someone who won't leave me home alone for more than 4 hours, at least not until I am older. The older I am, the more I can stay home alone. I just don't want you to get mad at me if I have accidents or chew things I'm not supposed to when you leave me for too long. I'm a puppy, so I get bored quickly and when I'm bored I could get in trouble.- I am looking for my forever home, not my for right now home. So as I get bigger I need someone to teach me how to be the best dog I can be. I am young and still learning. You may want to teach me some new tricks like sit, stay, etc. Professional training will help me bond with you. That sounds like fun!- I saved the most important for last. I am hoping my new mom or dad will snuggle with me, play with me and love me forever and ever!Please note that because this puppy is so young, it has only received 2 of the required 3 puppy distemper vaccines. This is very IMPORTANT because it means that the immune system will not be fully functioning until about 16 weeks of age. Until then, the puppy MUST stay out of public places where it could be exposed to the germs of other dogs. These no puppy zones include all pet stores, dog parks, and for apartment dwellers, areas used by other dogs. These requirements are strictly for the puppy’s medical safety and longevity.This puppy is microchipped and up to date on age appropriate vaccines and monthly preventatives.

Story
Meet Barbie, the charming almost 2-year-old Chihuahua/Pug mix with a quirky personality and a heart full of love. She was rescued from a local shelter where it's apparent she had a rough start to life where a human was not nice to her as she sometimes gets startled by quick movements. Barbie's spirit shines brightly as she embraces each day with enthusiasm and resilience. Weighing in at 20lbs, Barbie adores playtime and craves attention. Beware though, if you're not giving her the attention she deserves, Barbie isn't shy about reminding you with a playful nip on the butt! We are working on that and she is doing better as long as she has toys to distract her! She's looking for a patient and understanding family who can provide her with the love and security she deserves, promising endless laughs and unconditional love in return. She does great with dogs of all sizes. Barbie's adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state and includes current shots, microchip, spay, and current on heartworm and flea/tick prevention. An adoption application and contract are required. If you have any questions, please email us at sgdrsa@outlook.com. If you are interested in adopting Barbie please complete the adoption application at https://www.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/SGDR/Dog
