Story
My siblings and I were just tiny babies when our mama, Elyse, was rescued from an animal hoarding case in California. Thankfully, a wonderful Boxers and Buddies foster opened their home to our little family, giving us a safe place to grow, learn, and get the love every puppy deserves. The rescue thinks we might be Chihuahua and Poodle mixes, but our exact breed mix is a bit of a mystery. Whatever we are, one thing is certain: we're absolutely adorable! We've had a chance to grow up surrounded by care and love, and now we're ready to find families of our own. Our future families will need to continue our socialization, introduce us to new experiences, and help us grow into confident, happy little dogs.We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.

Story
My mama, Harpoon, was surrendered to Boxers & Buddies when my siblings and I were just one week old. We've been growing up with the help of rescue, and now we're getting ready to find families of our very own. ❤️One of my relatives, Arrow, had a DNA test that revealed a mix of Yorkshire Terrier, Chihuahua, and a little Chow Chow, Shih Tzu, and Poodle. We think I may have a similar mix, but only a DNA test could tell for sure!I'm expected to stay under 15 pounds, so I'll be a petite companion with a whole lot of love to give.We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.

Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Scotch Tape is still learning that the world can be a pretty good place, and watching his confidence grow has been incredibly rewarding.He’s a gentle, sensitive boy who can be nervous with new people and new situations. He may be unsure at first, especially if someone stands over him, but give him a little space, sit down, and let him come to you, and you’ll see a completely different dog. Once he trusts you, Scotch Tape is incredibly affectionate. He loves cuddling, gives the sweetest little kisses, and is happiest curled up beside his person.He absolutely loves other dogs, and having a confident, friendly dog around has helped him come out of his shell. A home with another dog would be a wonderful fit for him.Scotch Tape is also potty trained, which makes bringing him home a little easier. What he needs most is someone who understands that trust isn’t instant. He needs patience, consistency, and the chance to build a relationship at his own pace.He may not be the dog who runs up to you and immediately asks to be your best friend. But give him time, and you’ll earn something pretty special: a deeply loyal little dog who chooses you and loves you with his whole heart.If you’re willing to let Scotch Tape take his time, he’ll show you just how much love he has to give.We require professional obedience training from a certified trainer for ALL adoptions.

Sadie

Pomeranian Shih Tzu

Female, Young
Reno, NV
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained,
Story
Sadie is a 1 year old, very smart and high energy dog. She learns quickly and is food driven, however she is also very protective over food. She will do best in a home with no small children, who often make her anxious, and when she excited she will sometimes nip at heels of the resident older child. She uses a small potty box indoors.Because she has both high energy, seemingly a high prey drive and is smart, she needs both active play every day and dedicated training at least a few minutes a day. She enjoys feeding puzzles and LOVES snuffle mats with treats hidden inside. She will play with any toys she gets happily and loves durable chew toys and shredding paper.She tends to be very intense in her play, which has proven to be very stressful and upsetting for our senior dog and cat, but would be nice with a younger equally energetic friend.
