Story
Meet Peaunut! If you're looking for a devoted companion, Peanut is your girl! This 1-2 year old chihuahua is the ultimate lap dog! She gets along well with other small dogs and cats, but she can be a bit bossy with larger dogs, which is shocking for a chihuahua, I know. But her favorite thing is to be with her human! She behaves really well inside and she is getting the hang of potty training, but she does need you to come outside with her while she does her business! If you're someone who wants to be able to take your pup with you wherever you go, Peanut is the dog for you!

Story
came to ACR because my family's schedule changed and they could not care for me anymore. I am a happy and energeteic guy. I really like people and junk food so my foster is teaching me to eat good food instead. I tend to attach to women but I am not nasty to men - I just prefer to be with my foster mom. I learned how to use the doggy door - I am getting potty trained. I like other dogs but sometimes I would rather be alone. I don't know if I like kids - haven't been around them yet. I would like a home that would love me and let me be me.

Story
I am going to grow up to be smaller than my siblings. I am shy and tend to stay back when my siblings go out exploring. It takes me awhile to get up the courage to try new things. I do like to play with my siblings. I like people but again, I tend to take my time being affectionate. I am sweet - just hesitant. But I do want to be loved!!! A $75 non-refundable deposit is required to hold a puppy.

Story
I am again looking for my new family. I am a senior and just want a soft, gentle, and calm place for me and Dexter. I was surrender by my first family in 2017. I was then adopted by a family that ran a child care facility in the home. This was very stressful for me and Dexter. Then they got a puppy which added more stress to me. I really need a peaceful and calm environment. When I get overwhelmed, I have nipped at people who don't seem to understand What I need. I have not bit anyone since I came to ACR and my new foster home. That family surrendered me and Dexter in March 2026. I like to have my crate open so I can go inside wh4en I want to be in my own space. I like to watch my foster home activities and am learning to like lap time and being cuddled. I know there is a family somewhere that will understand me and Dexter and wants two seniors in the home. Is that you???
