If you are interested in adopting this dog,  please fill out an Adoption Questionnaire at  https://petstablished.com/adoption_form/43315/generic.  You can learn about the adoption process by visiting: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/howtoadopt/.  Dog's Name:   Penny/Little Bit  (PEN0923OWSFS)Estimated Breed:   Chihuahua MIXApproximate Age:   12 yearsApproximate Weight:  9 lbsCurrently Living at:   FosterAdoption Fee:   $300DOG'S DESCRIPTION:  Penny is a sweet and quiet little lap dog. She is looking for a loving, quiet, and nurturing home to live out their twilight years. She is apprehensive at first and when frightened she may nip as a defensive mechanism due to her very limited sight (bilateral cataracts) and limited hearing, but once acclimated to her new surroundings and trusts you she is 100% loving lap dog. She will approach for attention and is very affectionate after an initial "breaking in" period. She will need an all adult household, no steps unless gated so she doesn't fall down them. Believe it or not, Penny does walk on leash okay, but is low energy and would be totally fine with quick access to a fenced backyard or a pee pad so she doesn't have to go out in the cold big world where she can't see danger lurking.  She is well trained to the pee pads. She sleeps in a dog bed near her people, and her favorite is to be abe to get under a nice soft blanket to keep her warm. Your new pet will require a refresher in house-training. K-9 Lifesavers strongly recommends all new adopters enroll their new pet into obedience training. This provides for an easier transition into a new home, ensures the dog remains well socialized, and helps form a bond between the dog and the new family.    Adoption fees cover basic vetting, rabies (if puppy is old enough), distemper/parvo vaccinations, deworming, monthly heartworm prevention while in our care (if old enough), monthly flea/tick prevention while in our care, and transport costs. K-9 Lifesavers will also cover the cost of spay/neuter at our partner vet at 6 months of age or reimburse adopter for up to the amount of our partner vet cost should you choose to spay/neuter at your own vet.       Foster Program:    Foster homes provide for the temporary care of a rescue until the dog is placed into a loving, forever home.  For more information on becoming a foster parent, and our Foster Program, visit http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/foster/ or email our Foster Coordinator at foster@k-9lifesavers.orgSPONSOR ME! Help Save Lives!    Make a tax-deductible donation today and help save a life. Donations help us offset boarding costs and additional medical treatment for those dogs who need it.  K-9 Lifesavers receives NO federal funding and survive with your generous support! We are all volunteer based organization so every cent from your donation goes directly to the dogs in our care. Visit: http://www.k-9lifesavers.org/donate/For more information on K-9 Lifesavers, or to view a complete listing of all our Adoptable Dogs, visit our website at www.k-9lifesavers.org.Please “like” our  Facebook Page for the most current events and new dogs.Thank you for considering a rescue dog! ##1829453##

I was rescued from a crowded shelter in rural Alabama by the awesome folks at K-9 Lifesavers. I'm SO ready to find my forever family - could that be you? I'm a sweet and friendly little guy. I just love playing with other dogs, and I'm always ready for a game of fetch or tug-of-war. But when playtime is over, I'm just as happy to snuggle up for some quiet time. At my young age, I'm in my prime for training and socialization too. I've got a lot of love to give, and I'm looking for a forever home where I can share it. If you're looking for a friendly, playful, and loving companion, I'm your boy! Let's make some wonderful memories together, submit an application today!  Adoption fees cover basic vetting, spay/neuter surgery (at partner vet if not fixed before adoption), rabies, distemper/parvo vaccinations, treatment for worms, heartworm testing, monthly heartworm prevention and monthly flea/tick prevention (while the animal is in our care), and transport costs from high-kill shelter.

Story
Cuteness OverloadMeet Peppermint Patty and Sally! Double the snuggles! Double the wags! Double the laughs! Double the love! Double the trouble... just kidding! Peppermint Patty and Sally—presumed mother and daughter—were found as strays in Oklahoma, seemingly abandoned and relying on each other for survival. Thanks to one of our amazing rescue partners, they were quickly brought to safety and made the long journey to their foster home in western Maryland. Due to their inseparable bond and all they’ve been through, we’re asking that they be adopted together. Peppermint Patty Patty is a chihuahua/rat terrier mix, around 5 years old and weighing about 10 pounds. She’s got a ton of energy, but knows when it’s time to kick back and relax for a Netflix binge. Patty loves to play, play, play—she could do it all day—and she’s always ready for a walk or an adventure. Mischievous and curious, she’s full of playful energy, and you’ll often catch her roughhousing with her humans or running circles with Sally. She even plays with her 60-pound foster brother! Patty is an absolute snuggle bug who loves to be near her humans. Wherever you go, she’s never far behind. She’s almost completely housebroken. Likes: Eating Zoomies in the backyard Fresh bananas Stealing slippers Sally Sally Sally is also a chihuahua/rat terrier mix, about 2 years old and weighing roughly 8 pounds. Her cuteness is impossible to resist, and she’s just as energetic as her momma! While Sally is outgoing and loves people, she also enjoys her alone time and can often be found hanging out on her own. She’s getting the hang of using a ramp to get on and off furniture at her foster home, and she’s working on her house training. Sally isn’t a fan of loud noises or sudden movements, so she’d do best in a quiet home and we recommend no young children. Likes: Eating Snuggling with Patty “Boxing” with her foster mom Kongs filled with frozen treats Boiled cabbage Together Patty and Sally’s bond is truly heartwarming. It’s clear they adore each other, but they’re not overly dependent—they just love spending their time together. They sleep happily side-by-side in their crate each night and get along great with their three big foster siblings. They’re respectful of everyone’s space, and with proper introductions, we think they’d be just fine with cats too. These two will keep you laughing and smiling all day long! Because of their high energy, Patty and Sally need an owner who can provide both physical and mental stimulation. When they arrived at their foster home, they didn’t know any rules, boundaries, or commands. Now, they’re learning and thriving! They already know “Sit,” “IN” (for crate), “Come,” and how to wait politely for meals. Although they’d never admit it, they’re eager for structure and would love someone who will continue teaching them how to be the best girls they can be. They're both food motivated, so training should be fun and easy. They also love their walks and enjoy exploring the world around them. If you’re ready for a life full of love, laughter, and adventure, this dynamic duo might be the perfect addition to your family. Because of their small size, they’re best suited for homes with children over the age of 12 who are respectful of dogs. Are you ready to make your life twice as fun with Peppermint Patty and Sally? The adoption donation fee for Peppermint Patty and Sally is $700, which includes spay, routine vetting and a microchip. They are a bonded pair and must be adopted together. You can apply for these cuties by filling out our online application , which is found on our website www.tarashouse.org. Please email us at info@tarashouse.netMarch 25, 2025, 4:50 pm
