Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.DOB: 8/1/2020I am a happy boy that likes my people and gets along with other dogs. I am housebroken, crate trained, and love to snuggle with my foster mom. I  am a 4 year old black Chihuahua Mix - neutered  - up to date on all vaccines - and so ready to find my forever home.   While I do love all people, it would be best that my forever home does not have any small children as I tend to get a little rough and mouthy when playing.   I do prefer that my new forever home is a home with a fenced in yard and has a doggie door.  I don’t really like the apartment life! I like to run and get in my exercise when I go out to take care of business. I do not like dog parks, there is just too much going on and I will be very vocal because not all eyes are on me! If you think I am a good match for you please put in an application and my foster mom will be in contact. Come meet me at the next adoption event!  Up to date on age appropriate vaccines, heartworm negative, neutered and micro-chipped.   Adoption Fee:   $100.00   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 7, 2025, 10:30 pm

Story
Damien is a sweet laidback 2 year old chihuahua mix who loves to play, take walks. He is a little anxious in the car and likes to be your lap but would explore new places once he arrives. Initial he is a little shy with strangers but will quickly become your best friend if you have his favorite toy. He walks beautifully on the leash. He is also crate trained but his favorite job is to be a personal assistant. I would not recommend younger kids as he is very jumpy. He also is very quiet and only parks when he wants to play. When I first got him he had a couple of health issues but we have taken care of them. He has a little bump on his belly which the vet says is an umbilical hernia which the vet check out and said it is not causing trouble so does not need surgery.

Story
Meet Peggy! Peggy is a distinguished older lady with impeccable taste, zero patience for nonsense, and enough sass to power a small city. She considers herself royalty (rightfully so) and expects to be treated as such. Peggy enjoys the finer things in life: a cozy blanket (non-negotiable), a human to snuggle against when she feels like it, and food. Especially food. Honestly, mostly food. Peggy is extremely food-motivated and would absolutely sell state secrets for a snack. Things Peggy does not enjoy include vet visits and nail trims. For these deeply offensive events, she requires a muzzle and your emotional support. Ideally, Peggy would like to live in a home where her people are around most of the time because being alone is overrated, and crates are, in her opinion, an absolute crime. Luckily, she can be trusted outside of one. At night, Peggy insists on sleeping in a human bed, under the covers, like the tiny grandma she is. Peggy’s dream home is one where she is the undisputed center of the universe. Kids are a no. Cats are also a no (she said what she said). She would prefer to be your one and only dog but could tolerate a very specific canine companion: calm, respectful, not young, not hyper, not large, and willing to be bossed around. Peggy would do best in a home without shared walls, as she has strong opinions about outdoor noises and meal prep speed and she will absolutely let you know when you are falling behind schedule. A fenced yard would be lovely so she can sunbathe dramatically with her people, but it’s not required. She is house trained, though she may have an occasional accident in new places or when the weather is rude. Despite being a golden-aged queen, Peggy is in great shape and can still run and jump like a much younger dog. She did arrive with some dental issues and has since had several teeth removed, so she’ll need ongoing dental care but don’t worry, this has not dampened her love of food in the slightest. If you’re looking for a sassy, opinionated, blanket-loving older lady to rule your home (and your heart), apply to meet Peggy today.

Story
Salami is a beautiful chocolate-brown Chihuahua mix with the sweetest eyes and an even sweeter heart. She was rescued from a tough situation where she became pregnant far too young, but those days are behind her now, and Salami is safe, loved, and ready to find her forever family. This gentle girl can be shy at first and appreciates a little time to feel comfortable in new surroundings. Once she does, her playful personality shines through. She loves cuddles, toys, and cozying up with her favorite humans. Salami has proven to be a trusted and well-mannered companion inside the home. She’s doing great with her house training and continues to make steady progress. She’s still working on feeling fully confident in her crate, but with patience and reassurance, she’s learning that it’s a safe and comfortable space. Salami is also learning all about the joys of being an indoor dog and has been doing wonderfully! She’s even taken it upon herself to “decorate” her home with toys in every room, just to make things feel more cheerful. Salami would be happiest in a home with another friendly dog or with humans who are home often, as she loves companionship. She also enjoys having her own space to run and explore, so a fenced yard would be ideal for her to handle her “business” privately and safely. If you’re looking for a tenderhearted companion who just needs a little patience and a lot of love, Salami might be your perfect match!
