Story
My foster email is: meghan.shew@yahoo.comMeet Shelby!Shelby is a resilient 10-year-old girl who’s been through a lot. After being left behind by her family of ten years, all alone in an empty apartment, she’s slowly learning that there are still kind people in the world. Once she trusts you, Shelby shows her gentle, loving side and becomes an easy, quiet companion to have around the home.Her favorite things in life are simple: long naps, rolling around in her cozy bed, and soaking up the sunshine. She’s low-maintenance, independent, and happiest just having somewhere soft and safe to call her own.A few notes about Shelby:Age: 10 years young and heartworm negativeHouse manners: 100% housetrained — she’s had zero accidents in foster care! Shelby doesn’t need to be crated and can be left out without any issues; she’s not destructive at all.Other pets: She hasn’t been around other dogs yet but isn’t reactive on leash; she also completely ignores the resident cat.Health: Shelby has some arthritis in her back legs and benefits from joint supplements, but she still gets around well. She’ll need ongoing support for her achy joints. She also has some cloudiness in her eyes — she can still see, but she prefers that hands don’t come directly over her head.Grooming: Shelby recently enjoyed a well-deserved spa day and did wonderfully for her bath! With a little TLC, her skin and coat are already improving, as she has some hair loss in a few spots.Personality: Shelby can be protective of her dog bed, but she’s making progress as she builds trust. She may growl or snap when she feels scared or unsure, so she’ll need a patient adopter who understands her boundaries and can give her space when she needs it. After just a few days in foster care, she’s already showing less of this behavior and starting to relax.Walks & play: Shelby doesn’t need long walks and isn’t into toys, but she loves lounging outside and taking in the fresh air. A fenced yard where she can safely sunbathe would be her dream.Car rides: She rides nicely and allows you to help her into the car, though she’s still learning to feel comfortable getting out — she’ll need an adopter who can continue to work with her on this.Shelby would thrive in a calm, kid-free home (no children under 15) with someone patient, gentle, and understanding — someone who will let her settle in at her own pace.

Story
Please note we had first listed Ollie on rehome when we found him 3 years ago. Ollie had come to us as an injured stray in 2022. He had a broken left foot, but after some time healing up, he fit right into our home so we kept him. He's fully house-trained (may mark if left unattended), likes his crate, and is happiest either cuddling with you or stretched out on a soft blanket. He loves sitting in the sun, snacking on carrots, chasing squirrels, and curling up with his stuffed animals. He's about 5 years old and roughly 10 lbs. The reason he's up for adoption is because, like a lot of chihuahuas, he can be reactive. For example if he's asleep on your lap and gets startled, he may growl or snap - so you just need to give him a heads-up before getting up. He's an alpha and can be hot/cold, almost like a cat. With a newborn in the house now, we can't take any risks. Ollie knows basic commands. He would do best as the only pet and someone who understands chihuahua behavior.

Story
Chico came to us after his owner had a health crisis and was no longer able to care for him. He spent nearly his entire nine years with the same people, in the same home, and such a sudden change is hard for any dog-- but Chico is resilient and doing well in his foster home. In his foster home, Chico has had the opportunity to get out an about more, and he feels pretty cool riding in a backpack! He'll grumble a little when he meets new people and dogs, but he's just talking, and he gets over it quickly. He's spent his whole life around kids and another dog, so we expect he'll be fine in a home with kids and dogs, given proper introductions and time to acclimate. He's pretty lazy and he loves his bed, and laps! Chico is about 9 years old, 12 pounds (could stand to lose a couple), neutered, vaccinated and started on heartworm/flea/tick prevention.
