Story
Look at this cute face!!!  Rocco is a sweet, energetic, 8 yo, 17 pound chihuahua / pug mix.  He was given up by his owner who could no longer care for him.  Happily he is in a foster home where he gets along well with his foster dog siblings (who are small), loves to play with toys, and adores snuggles with his foster Mom. He loves his toys!  Check out his video.  He is the perfect size for someone who wants their dog to travel with them wherever they go - a pocket pooch.  He was an only dog so we think he would be fine alone or with a smaller second dog. Don't you want this adorable little guy in your home? ##2073068##

Story
Good with: Small and medium dogsNot good with: Some fear of larger dogsHouse trained: YesEnergy level: LowNoise level: Some Hey there I'm Bear and I'm on a mission to find my perfect forever home. Let me tell you a bit about myself. First off I'm a big fan of my person or people. I love staying close to them showering them with kisses and soaking up all the belly rubs I can get. Home is where my heart is quite literally as I'm happiest when I'm indoors cozying up in my bed or snuggling in someone's lap. I recently finished heartworm treatment and did great throughout the treatment process. The doctor said I should have a full recovery and have a happy life thanks to a successful treatment plan. I won't have any special medical needs long term, other than continuing regular monthly heartworm preventatives to avoid reinfection, and can live a normal life. I've been resting and recovering well with my foster, and now I'm ready for my forever home! Luckily when it comes to activities I'm not too high maintenance. I enjoy short walks where I can explore independently but I'll also race down the hallway at lightning speed when the mood strikes. Playing with my favorite toys is always a blast and I have a particular penchant for socks and small articles of clothing. I like to collect them in one spot sometimes hiding them under couch pillows for safekeeping. But dont worry I wont actually damage them! Now onto my dislikes. I'm not a fan of being left alone but don't worry I'm not destructive. I might bark a bit to let you know I'm not happy about it though. Car rides also make me a bit queasy, especially the long ones. And let's talk about big dogs - they make me a tad nervous so I'll try to avoid them if I can. In terms of training, I'm still a work in progress. I'm dealing with some separation anxiety and I'm a bit shy around new people. But with a patient and loving family, I know I can overcome these challenges. I get along well with small dogs and I'm okay with calm medium-sized ones too. Overall I'm a playful affectionate and gentle guy with a touch of goofiness. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will stick by your side through thick and thin I'm your Bear. Likes: My people; short walks; kisses; belly rubs; home/being indoors; walking independently; resting in bed or your lap; wet food; small dogs; toys; socks; broccoli and green beans Dislikes: My person leaving; car rides; bigger dogs; rain; long walks My ideal home: Id prefer to be in a home where my owner is home more often than not since I have some separation anxiety. Otherwise I am very sweet and easy-going and would do well in many environments!

Story
Sophia was born March 2016. Since a puppy she has been full of love and life. She LOVES cuddles, belly rubs and if you allow kisses. She will follow you around the house, lay at your feet or just want to be held. Sophia is house trained. In our home she uses potty pads to relieve herself. She was born with an inguinal hernia and had it repaired in the first year of life. She is also spayed. In 2022, Sophia was diagnosed with Immune thrombocytopenia. The disease is life long but can be managed. Our family has grown and over time we have not been able to give Sophia the time and attention she deserves. She is getting older and she needs a person or a family that can give all the love that she gives in return. It is because we love her we know we aren't the best for her anymore.

Story
Meet Ollie, a sweet and silly Chihuahua mix. While slow to trust, he loves to cuddle up on the couch or under a blanket once he does. He's very clever and loves to learn tricks, and he'll do almost anything for a piece of cheese. Despite his tiny legs, this 10-pound pup will walk with you for as long as you want. He loves sniffing around, but he'll bark at the people you walk past (just in case they want to hurt him, or you). If you think of him like a semi-social rescue cat who wants love and snuggles but only on their terms, then you've got it; he's a dog that someone intended to make a cat, but messed up at the last second. He takes anti-anxiety medication every morning, and it works like a charm. He has half a lifetime of love still to give, and we want him to be very happy for his last 8-10 years. The perfect household is one with no other dogs, though a cat would be okay, with somebody who'll let him lounge in the sunshine all day, then cuddle up on the couch after work, and mayb
