🐾 Meet Alice! 💛 This gentle 7-year-old Chihuahua mix is as sweet as they come, and she’s ready to find a quiet lap to call her own. Weighing in at just 13 pounds, Alice may be tiny, but her heart is enormous. Sweet Alice has been through a lot, surgery to remove a benign mass and repair a hernia, but she’s healing so well. She does have heartworm disease, but her treatment will be fully covered by the rescue. Through it all, she remains her loving, tail-wagging self, ready to share her heart with someone special. 💕 This low-key little lady lives for cozy snuggles, ear scratches, and long, lazy naps in her favorite spot. Don’t let her calm nature fool you, though, she’ll surprise you with adorable bursts of playful energy that will make you laugh out loud! Alice would do best in a calm, kid-free home where she can relax and take life at her own pace. If there are other dogs in the home, she prefers gentle friends who respect her space. She’s fully crate-trained and making great progress with potty training. Alice is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and ready to find her forever home. 💖 Think Alice might be your perfect match? Submit an adoption application today, this sweet girl can’t wait to find her happily ever after! Located in Metro Detroit, MI.

Story
Meet Happy. (The name is deeply ironic.) Happy is a 5-pound senior Chihuahua with approximately 13–14 years of experience judging everyone around her. After her owner passed away, this tiny tyrant found herself in an overcrowded Detroit shelter. We couldn't leave her there, so we scooped her up and brought her to safety. Since then, Happy has made her feelings about the world abundantly clear. Dogs? Absolutely not. Cats? Don't even ask. Children? She'd like to file a formal complaint. Strangers? Suspicious. You? Maybe. We'll see. Happy is looking for a retirement home where she can spend her golden years doing what she loves most: napping, eating gourmet meals, and silently evaluating your life choices from across the room. She isn't a cuddler. She doesn't want to play fetch. She doesn't care about your exciting day at work. What she DOES want is for her person to exist nearby at all times without making a big deal about it. Think of her less as a dog and more as a tiny, elderly roommate who pays no bills and occasionally screams at things. Happy currently enjoys a carefully curated menu of cooked hamburger and boiled chicken because she has standards. She is pee-pad trained but has occasional accidents and may need diapers in the future. She's earned the right to be a little high maintenance. Despite her spicy attitude, Happy deserves a soft place to land. Beneath all that Chihuahua sass is a little old lady whose world was turned upside down and who simply wants a quiet home to live out her remaining years in peace. Happy's Requirements: • No dogs • No cats • No children • No nonsense Happy's Stats: • Approximately 13–14 years old • 5 lbs. of pure audacity • Up-to-date on vaccines • Microchipped • Pee-pad trained • Professional nap enthusiast • Tiny dictator seeking her kingdom If you've ever thought, "I wish my pet loved me slightly less," then Happy may be the girl for you.

Age: 3 Years Good with dogs? Yes Good with cats? Yes Good with kids? Yes Weight: 10lbs Adoption Fee: $320.00 Any other info: Meet Pita If cuteness could be bottled up and sprinkled into a tiny dog, the result would be Pita. This adorable 3 year old Chihuahua girl weighs just 10 pounds, making her the perfect pocket sized companion. With her big, soulful eyes and whimsical ears that seem to have a personality all their own, Pita looks like she stepped straight out of a storybook. Now she's looking for her very own happily ever after. Pita can be a little shy when meeting new people, but don't let that fool you. Beneath that cautious exterior is one of the sweetest little hearts you'll ever meet. Give her a little patience, a little kindness, and she'll quickly show you just how loving she can be. Pita wants nothing more than to be close to her people. Whether she's curled up beside you on the couch, following you from room to room, or gazing up at you with those impossibly adorable eyes, Pita's greatest joy is simply being loved. Pita is spayed, up to date on age appropriate vaccines, microchipped, heartworm tested negative, and kept on prevention here with us. At only three years old, Pita has her whole life ahead of her and she's hoping to spend it with a family of her very own. A family who will cherish her, spoil her a little (or a lot), and remind her every day that she's exactly where she belongs. Pita may be small, but the love she has to give is absolutely enormous. Now all she needs is someone willing to give her a chance. Could this tiny sweetheart be the missing piece of your family?

She is friendly and loves to be around people. She is happy to snuggle on the couch. She is very calm and rarely barks unless she is locked up away from people.  She can’t see so even if you are nearby, she can’t tell, so she calls out for you. She is working on housebreaking.  She goes potty outside if taken out on a regular basis and does use piddle pads.  She is very fond of her daughter, Delilah.  It would be nice if they could stay together. With love and attention, Mwanna would make a perfect pet.
