Story
My name is Morticia. I go by "Morti" for short. I am tiny - to be exact, I am 8.4 lbs and 3.5 years old. So, yes I am full grown! I am sure I have some chihuahua in me and probably a bit of terrier. I am spunky and fun but also given I am adult, I also know when to chill out. I am good with other dogs and I have had plenty of socialization with them. I do not appreciate crazy puppy business, however, so if I have dog friends, I would appreciate if they were mature like myself. I am way more focused on my people than other dogs so I could easily be the one and only. I am housebroken. I am also fine with cats (probably smaller than some!). I have not been around small children so kids 10+ are recommended. As you can see, I don't mind dressing up a little either! Here is a link to the application if you are interested in me: https://asecondchanceforziva.org/adopt/adoption-process-application/

Story
Meet Jungwon - Your Tiny, Talkative Shadow! This adorable long-haired Chihuahua is Jungwon, a 3-year-old boy weighing in at a perfect 4kg (8.8 lbs) of fluff, sass, and snuggles! He’s currently in South Korea, but he’s all set and ready to fly to his forever home anywhere in the United States! Jungwon was found wandering the streets during a local festival, most likely abandoned. Thanks to a kind citizen’s report, he ended up at a city shelter — and just in time, a private rescuer pulled him out before his scheduled euthanasia. Now, he’s safe and being loved in a foster home while waiting for the next chapter of his life. 💉 He is neutered (via cryptorchid surgery), fully vaccinated (including rabies and all combo shots), and in good health. Though he may have some tear stains (possibly due to a mild allergy), he’s otherwise thriving! Jungwon’s Personality: A confident communicator – he’s not afraid to tell you what’s on his mind! A charming chatterbox – he’ll "talk" to you when he wants cuddles or attention. A total sweetheart – he loves both adults and kids, and enjoys the company of other dogs too. He's never met a cat, so we’re not sure about that match yet. He enjoys his walks, has good manners on a leash, and does well with both indoor and outdoor potty routines. He doesn’t have separation anxiety, but he will give you a polite bark if he wants to be picked up or pampered! Jungwon does have a bit of a "guarding instinct" when it comes to things he loves – typical of his breed – but he’s never shown aggression. Just a little sass to keep you on your toes 😉 If you’re looking for a pint-sized companion who’s full of personality, affection, and entertaining commentary, Jungwon might just be your perfect match. He’s ready to hop on a plane to meet his forever family — maybe that’s you? :)

Story
My mom has always been a dog lover. She adopted Wes a little after her dog passed, as a companion and as her support. My mom was diagnosed with dementia has made it hard to keep Wes, she has become aggressive but in her moments she gives him all the love in the world. He has separation issues which is why I would love for an understanding person to take him in. My landlord doesn’t allow pets also. Unfortunately I have had a hard time finding his paperwork because my mom has a tendency of hiding things. She moved in with me and I still haven’t found his papers.

Story
Hi everyone, I’d like to tell you about London, our 4-year-old chihuahua 🐶🐾(her birthday is June 28). She’s a very special part of our family, and this decision has not been easy. London is incredibly affectionate and calm around the house, but she also loves to play. She’s amazing with children (we have two young kids) and also gets along well with other animals — she even lives peacefully with our cat.🫂💜 She has some basic training, is very smart, and adapts easily. The only thing is that she needs to get up to date on her vaccines, but she’s healthy and well cared for. We’re looking to rehome her because, long-term, we’re moving somewhere that won’t allow pets, and we want to make sure she finds a loving home where she’ll get the attention and care she deserves. She’s truly part of our family, and we want her to be part of someone else’s, too.💟💟 If you or someone you know is looking for a sweet, loyal little companion, please reach out 💌

Story
Bagel and Chipper are bonded, neutered male Apple Head Chihuahuas who are vet aged between 4-5 years old. They are attached to one another, and must be adopted and kept together. They were surrendered by an older woman with health issues who could no longer care for them. They are very, very sweet boys—Bagel is white —(5 lbs) and “Chip” is grey—(8.5 lbs) and are complete snuggle bugs. They like to sleep in bed with Foster Parents, but will also sleep in their own beds. They are trained to potty on doggie bathroom pads and would need to be retrained to go to the bathroom outside. This is convenient for apartment or condo dwellers. They do not nip or bite, they do bark when they hear unfamiliar noises, so if there’s a noise sensitive living situation, these are not a good match. They get along with cats and other dogs. Chip and Bagel are healthy and up to date on all vet care. They bring so much life into a home, and are just completely adorable in every way. Adoption fee FOR BOTH DOGS $475. This covers the cost of spay/neuter, DHPP, Rabies, Flea, tick, heart worm check, worm treatment, and microchip. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application. Go to: https://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org/dog-adoption-application/ We are located in Western North Carolina.     Optional transport is weekly.  After your application is approved, we will contact you regarding cost and delivery if you so desire.  June 18, 2025, 2:57 pm

Story
Dexter takes a little time to warm up but once he does he’s a little cuddle bug who thinks he is a cat. The perfect family for Dexter is one who will allow him to warm up to you on his own time. Dexter has been through a lot so his family must be understanding and patient until he learns to trust again. If you can do that, Dexter will make the perfect companion. We prefer he is the only dog in the household.
