Story

Amarris is a gentle, sweet girl searching for a patient soul to call her own. Once she knows you’re her person, she is the ultimate cuddle bug who wants to be right by your side.

She needs an understanding home that will give her space and time to build her confidence. 🏡 Teen-Friendly: Did wonderfully living with teenagers who respect her boundaries. 🐶 Dog-Approved: Previously lived well with an older small dog. 🥣 Separate Mealtimes: Guards food from other animals, so she just needs to be fed separately from other pets. 🚽 Learning the Ropes: Still working on house training and needs a consistent routine.

Story

Blue is 5 years old and a wonderful dog. He’s always lived with other dogs but as if 2 years ago doesn’t get along with older male chihuahua who is father actually. He’s not trained but listens and is super sweet. He also isn’t spayed. He is my third dog and they are mostly kept in the kitchen. I believe this has stressed him and it’s why he has become aggressive towards my other male dog Rexx. He really just needs a loving a patient person. Blue deserves a good loving home, that can be patient and willing to teach him. I hope someone can really give him a second chance. I don’t want an adoption fee only for him to go to a good home. I will keep him until he finds the perfect new home.

Story

Some are spicy, others are mild and some fall right in between. We are talking about tacos here and although they are not known to be sweet, we beg to differ with our 2-year-old Chihuahua mix, Taco. Taco found his way into rescue when he was picked up as a stray, so his past is a mystery, but we know this boy has a dynamite personality packed into his 11-pound body. He is a young boy of around 2 years old with lots of years ahead of him. Taco is eager to make friends with any dog or child he meets. He is a happy go lucky boy that enjoys time with others. He has not met a cat since coming into rescue. Taco likes to spend his time doing just about anything fun followed by rest and relaxation. He is on ready, set go status for fun games, time spent outside, going for walks as the sky is the limit with this boy. He is a perfect lap companion size so get ready to relax with your best bud nestling in for a snooze. Taco has started his house, crate and leash training. Accomplishing all three skills is what he has set out to do. All he needs is the commitment from his family to assist him and he is sure to succeed.Happy days are in the future when Taco is around. If you are looking for a fun and joyous companion to join your family, Taco is just an application away. * When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Taco is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.

Story

PLEASE NOTE THAT CHARLEY AND MARLEY ARE BONDED AND MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER.Meet Marley, a gentle little soul with a heart that shines bright. This sweet, 11-year-old Chihuahua mix was surrendered through no fault of his own. Marley is incredibly affectionate and adores snuggling with his people. He would be perfectly content being carried around all day, soaking up every bit of attention and affection he can get.Marley was surrendered into rescue with his brother by another mother, Charley (also with DSR). These two are inseparable and bonded to each other in heart and spirit. Marley and Charley have shared their lives together and we are dedicated to seeing they remain together for the rest of their lives. Therefore, they will need to be adopted together in the comfort of a forever family who will open up the doors to welcoming two little senior canine companions into their home. Marley has a lovely tan-and-black short coat and big, soulful brown eyes. Fully grown at just 9 pounds, he is the perfect size for cuddling. He is good with other dogs and does well with children. He has not yet had the chance to meet cats in rescue, so his compatibility with them is still unknown.As a senior dog, Marley offers the kind of companionship that only comes with time. He is steady, gentle, and deeply loyal. He would be happiest soaking up the sunshine, resting in a warm lap, and sharing quiet moments with his person. All he wants is comfort, companionship, and a place where he can finally feel at home. He would be a wonderful match for anyone looking for a devoted companion who already knows how to be a great dog.Marley walks well on a leash, is housetrained and his crate training is in progress. While he may already be housetrained, it is important to remember that accidents can happen as he adjusts to a new home and routine.If you are ready to open your heart and home to this sweet little guy, be sure to apply today!* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Marley & Charley together is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.

Story

PLEASE NOTE THAT CHARLEY AND MARLEY ARE BONDED AND MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER.If AARP had a membership available for dogs, Charley would be ready to sign up and get started on his second chance at a loving home and family. This sweet, happy, 10 year 7-month-old Chihuahua mixed breed little gentleman was an owner surrender who wants to enjoy his golden years surrounded by love. Charley was surrendered into rescue with his brother by another mother, Marley (also with DSR). These two are inseparable and bonded to each other in heart and spirit. Charley and Marley have shared their lives together and we are dedicated to seeing they remain together for the rest of their lives. Therefore, they will need to be adopted together in the comfort of a forever family who will open up the doors to welcoming two little senior canine companions into their home. Charley weighs 10 pounds that is just perfect for napping on a lap. Despite his senior status, Charley adores going for walks and making new friends in his new surroundings. Children and other dogs make Charley a very happy canine. It is not known if he is comfortable with cats. Charley is already house trained and due to his experience as a pet who has been walking for years, leash training may just require some review and positive encouragement as he gets used to new people and places. Even a senior rescue dog like Charley may have accidents as he becomes accustomed to a new home, family and routines.If crate training is anticipated, Charley will be comfortable in a small crate so long as it gives him space to lie down, stand up and turn around. Crates should never be used for punishment and should be warm and cozy dens. There are so many things to love and cherish about senior dogs; they often form strong bonds with their new families as they are so grateful to become part of the pack. They bring all their life experiences with them to share with anyone they meet. Most of all, they are who they are, fully developed, at peace with themselves and ready to spend their twilight years loving and being loved.* When considering adoption, keep in mind that dogs thrive on structure and routine. They adjust much better when their owners are committed to providing consistency and stability.The adoption fee for Charley & Marley together is $500. That includes the cost of spaying/neutering, up to date vaccinations, foster care, rescue and transportation fees.
