Story
Valentina is just about 3 years old as of November, we have had her since she was just 3 months old. She is a very energetic playful and affectionate dog. She loves tug of war and running! Though she is wiggly at times she does love to cuddle. Unfortunately, there are many reasons why we can no longer keep her. At the moment we live in a small one bedroom apartment and now have a four month old baby. A few of the reasons we are looking to rehome her are - my husbands allergies as well as our child’s possible allergies - Lack of space (small apartment) - Busy schedule - Financial difficulties (for example she needs training that we cannot afford) Valentina is a bit on the anxious side and will need further training when it comes to being well socialized with other dogs and people. She is crate trained and trained to go on pee pads, she is in the process of training to go only outside. We hope to find her a home that is committed to her success and give her the best quality of life!

🌼 About KatKat: KatKat is a charming, spayed female Chihuahua mix who has faced some challenges in her past. This courageous girl is on a journey to rediscover trust and love, as she was sadly surrendered to a shelter by her previous owners. Though her past may be a mystery, her future is full of hope and promise. 🌟 Current Status: KatKat is up-to-date on all her vaccinations and is microchipped, ensuring her safety and well-being. She's ready to embark on a new chapter of her life and find her forever family. 🐶 A Learning Journey: KatKat may have had a rough start, but she's showing incredible resilience. She's currently learning to trust people once more. It might take some time, patience, and understanding, but when she finally forms that special bond, it will likely be with her new family, who will cherish her forever. 🤝 The Road to Adoption: As we continue to help KatKat heal and regain her trust, we're looking forward to the day when she's ready for adoption. While we can't predict exactly when that will be, we are committed to ensuring she finds the loving home she truly deserves. 🐕 A Beauty to Behold: KatKat is a vision of elegance with her pristine white coat and those unmistakably adorable big ears that are always ready to listen. Her sweet presence is sure to light up any home. KatKat is visually impaired and most likely nearly blind.

Story
Meet Salsa, a resilient and spunky female Chihuahua mix, born approximately in February 2022. She was discovered in March 2023, huddled with eight other Chihuahua mixes in an abandoned movie theater. Salsa, though petite and pretty with her white coat, carries the scars of her past, making it challenging for her to trust humans fully. Salsa has undergone some rehabilitation, where our dedicated caregivers worked diligently to help her overcome her fear and anxiety. She is now ready for adoption. She has received all necessary vaccinations and has been microchipped for her safety. Salsa's journey is a testament to her resilience and the commitment of those caring for her. In time, with patience and love from her potential adopter, she hopes to find a forever home where she can blossom into the loving and trusting companion she has the potential to be.

🤎 Meet Poncho – A Gentle Soul Seeking a Second Chance 🤎 Poncho is a 3-year-old neutered male Chihuahua with a tender heart and a story that deserves to be heard. He found himself at Washoe County Animal Services along with his two pups, Great Prince and Thumper, after their owner was incarcerated and could no longer care for them. In March 2025, Chihuahua Rescue Truckee Meadows stepped in to rescue Poncho and his little family. While his pups have been adjusting, Poncho is still slowly warming up. His ordeal left him feeling fearful and unsure, and he continues to carry some trauma from his sudden change in life. Poncho wants so badly to shine. Beneath his worries is a loving, gentle boy waiting for the right home to help him feel safe, loved, and understood. He needs a quieter environment where he can grow at his own pace and learn to trust again without pressure or chaos. ✨ Could you be the one to give Poncho the patient, peaceful home he so deeply deserves? ✨ Give him a chance, and he will show you just how special his love can be.
