Story
Make A Difference in your Community - Adopt a Shelter Dog! Would you like to foster a Shelter Survivor? For more information, visit us at www.sheltersurvivors.com This is sweet little Tippy! Tippy is a five pound bundle of love. She is about 8 years old. Tippy was surrendered to us when her owner passed away and her family could no longer care for her. Right before she entered our care, she jumped off of something that was too high for her and she broke her paw. Tippy has completely healed now and she is back to being able to run and play as usual. We have taught Tippy not to jump off of things and to use steps if necessary to get down from higher places. She is so smart and a quick learner. We do not have her go up and down flights of stairs simply because we do not want her to put consistent pressure on her joints or tiny bones. That's fine by Tippy because her favorite place is to be in her foster mom's arms. Tippy was adopted recently, but returned about 6 weeks later. While Tippy is super loving and sweet, she has what we consider a typical Chihuahua personality. She will nip and bite if she is scared or challenged at times. It proved to be too much for her adoptive family and as heartbroken as they were, they did not feel that they could manage Tippy's behavior. We completely understood and Tippy is back with her foster family. She acclimated back into her foster home without any issues. She proved to be the same sweet and sassy girl that she was when she left her foster home. She fell right back into her foster home routines. Tippy spends her time between two foster homes. In one home, Tippy has a little more freedom. She has a large space to roam, but we do not allow her to go up and down stairs (as we stated before). She is with one person in this home and there are no other pets. She loves the low-key life in this foster home. Sometimes Tippy also spends time in another foster home, In this home, there are other dogs that live with her. While Tippy does not mind the company of the other dogs, she does not like when they get too excited. We believe she would do best as an only pet or she would be fine living with another dog or cat that is super chill and tolerant of her big personality. In this home there are also multiple people. Tippy is a typical Chihuahua. She will attach herself to one person and want to be with them. She doesn't mind the other people in the household, but she definitely wants "her person" when that person is home. Tippy is crate trained, but in both homes she has a pen that she sleeps in at night. She sleeps through the night in her pen which is in the bedroom where her foster mom sleeps. She does have a large crate that she stays in in one foster home when her foster mom is away; in the other home she has a larger pen that she stays in. Because of Tippy's size and personality, we are looking for an experienced Chihuahua owner without children. Older teenagers may be okay as long as they will respect Tippy's space when she needs it. Tippy has had so much change in her little life the last few months. She has adjusted so well in each situation, but it's time for Tippy to find her forever home. She needs a Chihuahua savvy family who will understand what she wants or needs. She gives clear signals when she is scared and/or unhappy. Tippy is completely house trained! Which is amazing for a small dog! LOL! Tippy is wee-wee pad trained as well, but usually will do her business outside. She rarely uses her wee wee pad, but we do keep one in her pen for her. She is very clean and neat. She will need a little patience at first when meeting a new person. She can be a little shy. It doesn't take too long for her to understand that you are her friend. Tippy loves to go for walks outside. She also enjoys a good game of fetch. She is spunky, sassy, and sweet and cuddly all in one. If you think that you could provide the loving home that Tippy deserves, please fill out an application for her. Tippy is spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations and house trained. To adopt Tippy, please complete our online dog application by going to sheltersurvivors.com Click on the home page, look for "Application" at the top of the home page, and complete the application. Hit the submit button once you have completed the application in its entirety. This will expedite the adoption process. Adoption Fee: $400.00

Meet Habbibi! Habbibi is a 3-month-old male chihuahua mix with a big personality packed into a tiny body. Weighing just 8 poundsright now, he’s expected to be around 25 pounds full grown—a perfect small-to-medium size companion. Habbibi was found wandering the streets of Puerto Rico with his sibling, and despite his rough start, he is a happy, playful, and affectionate little guy. He has a funny, charming personality and the cutest ears that give him constant “did you see that?” expressions. He does great with other dogs, cats, and kids, making him a wonderful fit for many types of homes. Habbibi loves to play, cuddle, and follow his people around, always ready to make you smile. If you’re looking for a sweet, silly puppy with tons of love to give, Habbibi is ready to be your new best friend. From Habbibi's foster: "Meet this sweet, lovable puppy who’s ready to steal your heart! Almost fully potty trained on wee-wee pads and doing great indoors—outdoor potty training will come later once the weather warms up. This little one is wonderful with other dogs, cats, and children, making him a perfect fit for a variety of homes. Playful and fun when it’s time to romp, but just as happy to curl up for snuggles and naps. Not a big barker, which is a bonus! Already knows how to sit and is currently learning how to give paw. Shows no aggression with toys or bones and has a gentle, easygoing personality. A perfect mix!" Apply for Habbibi here:   https://form.jotform.com/91758283848171 February 2, 2026, 11:54 am

Story
Welcome Coco to PK. Coco is a 2 ½-year-old Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher mix who weighs just 9 lbs. Surrendered by her owner of only a month, Coco has been bounced around from home to home recently, and she’s more than ready to find the stable, secure future she deserves. Though she can be a bit anxious and very shy at first, Coco’s affectionate nature shines through when she feels safe. Coco is looking for her person that she doesn’t have to share with anyone else – she wants to be the only pet and would do best in a home with a single person. With the right person, Coco will bond deeply. Coco is pee pad trained and knows basic commands. This little girl has so much love to give—she just needs the right person to give her the security, patience, and devotion she’s been missing. Could Coco be the one to curl up in your heart and home forever? Apply at lvpeaceablekingdom.info. Peaceable Kingdom, PA Kennel License #04131, 1049 MacArthur Rd., Whitehall, PA 18052

Story
If you would like to apply to take MURPHY home, click the link next to their picture, or Visit our website at Www.godogsgorescue.org and fill out an application! We look forward to hearing from you. This little one came from a hoarding situation, we are estimating to be somewhere between 1-2 years old. Being taken out of that situation when it’s all you’ve ever known is a bit of an adjustment, they have just gone into foster homes, and with patience and a bit of time we are confident they can adjust into a normal life. None of the dogs were nippy, just nervous. With this in mind we would recommend no small children or hectic households. They are all used to other dogs and a confident doggy companion in the home would be great. Apply now will be available to go home mid February.
