Story
This 9-year-old tiny bundle of personality is looking for a special home where he can thrive. While Avalanche may have had a reputation for being “tiny and angry” at the shelter, he’s proven that underneath it all, he’s a snuggly, sweet boy who loves nuzzling close to his human. He doesn’t mind being held and has a soft spot for making friends—his best buddy is a giant German Shepherd! Avalanche is crate-trained, travels well in the car, and enjoys the quiet comforts of home life. While he’s not a fan of sweaters (no need for a wardrobe), he loves curling up with his favorite person. He’d do best in an all-adult home with someone who works from home or is retired, where he can soak up all the love and attention he deserves. Avalanche is not neutered yet but will be soon, and all his other vet care is up to date. Rescued from the Newark shelter after his previous owner passed away, he’s left his angry days behind (mostly) and is ready to start a new chapter with his forever family. ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.

Story
Looking for a pint-sized best friend with a big heart? Meet Duke, a 10-pound chihuahua mix who’s ready to find his forever home! At just 1 to 2 years old, Duke has all the charm of a classic chihuahua—loyal, loving, and happiest when curled up in your lap. Duke is still learning the ropes of being a dog, including leash walking and social skills, but he’s incredibly smart and eager to please. He can coexist with other dogs but may prefer to be the king of his castle as an only pup. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will shower you with love and be your shadow, Duke is your guy! ADOPTION PROCESS: 1.
