Story

Meet Charlie! He's a spitfire Chihuahua ready for his golden years! He's been doing great with us so far, and is warming up quickly to people. He was likely mishandled by young children in the home, so teenagers and adults are a much better fit. Due to this, he's a little unsure of new folks handling him. He loves other dogs and cats and has really enjoys his 4-legged friends. He also LOVES rope toys, which is super funny for his little size! Charlie wants to do the right thing, but sometimes gets a little confused. If he's too unsure of something he may react out of fear- once he knows you, he's eager to please. For example, to get picked up or held he knows "up" and will line right up IF he's in the mood. If he doesn't want to be picked up, he will promptly go in the other direction. Charlie is SMART- but is still learning that new people are safe- he does have some puppy-like mouthy behaviors and is doing great redirecting that onto a toy- he loves to play tug! There's a lot of spunk left to discover, but he really enjoys relaxing and coexisting with folks. He's not afraid to take a nap on someone he just met! Charlie is a chihuahua through and through! He's just a senior looking to spend his golden years in comfort. He's food motivated and curious. Medical stuff: Charlie has patellar luxation in both rear legs, meaning the kneecap can move out of its normal position. Patellar luxation is a common disorder of small or toy breeds and is usually hereditary, although it can be caused by an injury. This dog has a grade 2 out of 4 patellar luxation in both the right and left rear legs, with grade 4 being a kneecap that is permanently out of position. Many dogs with patellar luxation will occasionally hold up the affected leg or limp when the patella luxates, but will recover quickly once the patella moves back into place. He has not had active symptoms since in the care of is foster in Mid-October. Charlie was noted to have a right-sided apical systolic heart murmur with the grade 3 out of 6, with grade 6 being the most severe. Medication has not been deemed necessary for him at this time. Charlie will need a dental cleaning with extractions in the future. Given he has a heart murmur, a cardiac work up will likely be recommended prior to a dental procedure to evaluate for anesthetic risks. *We only adopt and foster our animals within a 60 mile radius from New Brighton, MN* All of our adoptable animals can be seen by appointment.

Story

Meet Lady! She's apx 10 years old and traveled a long ways to MN. She came to Legends in Early October, and we're learning more about her each day. So far, she's been great with dogs, cats, and all humans that she's met. She is coming out of her shell each day as she decompresses and starts to show us her personality. She likes to follow her people around the house and is loving beds and couches! Lady is a gentle senior looking to spend her golden years in comfort. She's food motivated and curious. She's already started trying out sweaters as we anticipate MN winters to be quite the adjustment! Medical stuff: She recently had a dental, and is noted to have a very mild heart murmur. Medication is not required for it at this time. We've got her on a joint supplement for some probable arthritis, and she also has a sensitive trachea and will cough occasionally, but otherwise is a healthy older lady! *We only adopt and foster our animals within a 60 mile radius from New Brighton, MN* All of our adoptable animals can be seen by appointment.

Story

Meet Chippy! He is a 20lb 6 year old Chihuahua mix. This sweetheart was dumped outside of a PetSmart in a kennel in North Carolina. From his foster: October update: Chippy is a very good boy- quiet and gentle! He's experienced some trauma in his early life but is learning to trust, come out of his shell, and live his best life. When the weather is nice he loves to relax in the sun, take a walk with his stroller, and meet new dogs in the neighborhood or dog park. Chippy is very food motivated and gets super excited at meal time and when he can earn treats. Chippy is great with other dogs, cats, and children. August Update: He is very calm, a little timid and we have not heard a single bark out of him. He loves to snuggle, has a good appetite and enjoys prancing around the yard finding treats we put out for him. He has a passing interested in cats but no chasing instinct. He doesn't seem to have experience with stairs so we are approaching that slowly. He likes balls and will fetch!! He had a couple accidents through the transition but is getting into the swing of things. We are currently working on leash walking. He likes to be active in the yard and is starting to let loose but wants to be a very good boy. Easy to train with treats. He seems to match the energy level with the rest of us, relaxing when we need to work from home and getting excited for walks or backyard time. *We only adopt and foster our animals within a 60 mile radius from New Brighton, MN* All of our foster animals can be seen by appointment.

Story

Meet Zoe, a Chihuahua born approx 3/7/2020. Zoe is a sweet girl who has had a lot of transitions in her life. She can be a little slow to warm up, but once she does, she is very cuddly. She has seemed to attach strongly to the mom of the house and does get anxious when she leaves, but eventually settles down. She’s been alone up to 6 hours, has been free floating around the house, and has not had any accidents or destroyed anything during that time. Zoe is house-trained, and scratches at the door when she needs to be let out. She is not kennel trained. She has been great with our 3.5 year old daughter. Initially she was respectful and a little afraid of our cat, but she has had a few instances of lashing out toward the cat, She has been great with our small dog, and has met other big dogs on leash and has reacted positively. She loves walks, and while she pulls sometimes, she is easily redirected. Zoe is a medium energy level. She loves running off-leash on our acreage, but can also curl up on the couch and be content. In the car Zoe wants to ride on your lap, but also does fine in the kennel during rides. Zoe is treat motivated, playful, and sweet and will make a great family dog for a very lucky family.

Story

Hi there! My name is Ray. My foster family calls me RayRay when I am adorable and good and Raymond when I am adorable and not so good. I’m a little over 4 months old, and at my last check-up I weighed in at 14 lbs! I’m a Chihuahua Mix, but my foster mom thinks my dad had to be a bigger dog. I am still small, but I have long legs and a strong build. I'm curious and love exploring, but also want to be wherever you are! You leave the room, I follow! Want to cook in the kitchen? I’d like a bed or blanket near your feet! On the sofa or in a chair, let me be your personal space heater! My favorite things to do are snuggling, playing fetch with tennis balls, zoomies (especially outside), belly pats, and chewing on my emotional support leek (dog toy). I have a super chill resident sister dog. I like to try and play with her and steal her treats and food. She’s fine, but I definitely prefer my humans! I’m very smart and very treat-driven when training. I already know sit and down, and will occasionally even do them! And now my doggo FAQs: Crate training: The crate isn't my favorite place yet, but I calm down after a few minutes. I’m crated in the bedroom at nighttime so I can see my humans and in the living room if I am home alone during the day. Toofers: I am still teething, so I need things to chew on. Housebreaking: Since I’m just a baby, I am still potty training. I do a great job of going outside if you keep me on a schedule. I just haven’t figured out how to ask to go outside yet. Most nights I sleep a good 7 hours in my crate before I need out. The Leash: I’m still working on leash walking. We haven’t went out much to keep me safe from those scary puppy viruses, and my potty breaks are in a fenced in yard right now. Socialization: I very much like being the center of attention. I have been socialized around younger kids but have been living in a quiet house with a teen and very mellow dog for the past month. I’m little and a chihuahua, so sometimes I am scared of things. New people can be scary, but give me time and I will shine! Loud noises outside can be scary too. I do a great Chihuahua shake when scared or cold. I can let out a few barks here and there too. Traveling: Car rides aren’t my favorite, but I think that’s just because my foster mom is too cheap to get drive thru coffee, so no pup cups for me yet. I get scared, and I am quiet and like to be held, but also can travel in my crate. Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.

Story

Hi, I’m Maggie. Im a 2 year old chihuahua mix! I came to mn from Mexico, where i was found living in a hole inside a rock mountain. When I got to mn my foster mom realized I was limping quite a bit. It then was determined by our vets that I needed a double back knee surgery as I had luxating patella in both my back knees. Don’t worry, my foster momma did all the hard work and I feel so much better now and am like a brand new dog! Now for the fun part! I am such a joy to have around. At first I am not trusting of people but once I learn you wanna be my friend we can be best friends. I am goofy and will play with other dogs big or small but it may take me a few days to warm up to them. When I am in cuddle mode, I don’t like to share my space with other animals and may snap at them if they disturb my sleep. I love cuddles, I am the most cuddly girl ever especially with this thing called winter. I would rather curl up and cuddle with you under a blanket all day long. I am kennel trained and do really enjoy hanging in my kennel. I am for the most part potty trained, occasionally I have accidents here and there but 98% of the time I go outside. I sleep in bed curled up next to my foster momma all night long. As for cats they are fine, if they are more active cats I may try to play with them or chase them but I leave the more laid back cats alone. I will bark at new people coming into the house but will calm down and as long as they leave me alone they can stay. If they are too intrusive or in my face too much at our initial meeting I may growl. I never snap or bite though. I just need some extra time to learn new people are okay! Anyways do you think you could be my forever home?? Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
