Story
Frankie-the true definition of a chihuahua. Lets get the obvious out of the way-he takes a bit to like men, will tolerate them once he realizes they are not leaving but he makes it clear hed rather have women. Tolerates cats and other dogs-prefers they just leave him alone, stick to your side of the couch and Ill stick to mine motto. Has issues with food insecurity and sharing-because in a chihuahua world it should all belong to them but being tiny you have to act big to defend what is yours by right. Loves sitting we his person, one person, the chosen one, the one privileged to have his heart and soul. He is potty trained but would rather poop inside if not nice outside-I mean come on, we dont expect the all might chihuahua to go out in the rain now do we. So we offer potty breaks as much as we can and he lets us know if the weather allows him to bless the great outdoors with his waste. Let us know if need further information!

Story
Meet Alex. Alex is a super sweet boy who loves his person. He can be a little bit shy at first but once he warms up he's very loving and wants to be by your side. He came from a hoarding house so he does like to be with other dogs and does very well with them. He has been neutered, he is microchipped, and he is current on his vaccines. Alex walks well on a leash, is gentle, and overall a low key guy. Adoption fee is 450. Alex is heartworm positive but do not let that hold him back from a great family as rescue will cover the cost of his treatment. All our dogs/cats are vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, on preventions, and spayed/neutered if old enough.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Please be sure to click on Fez's photos to read all about him prior to applying.Fez may be a wee fellow, but don't tell him that.  He embodies all that "Chihuahua" entails- larger than life personality (with lots of opinions), and a dedicated and close companion to those in his circle.  Please don't get any ideas about dressing this fellow up and carting him around in cute handbags, he likes to use his own four legs to travel- and clothing is (at best) considered "excessive" in his opinion.  Fez gets along with dogs and cats, he would do best in a home with another small or toy breed female.  He appreciates animals (including humans) that are considerate and patient.  He does tend to gravitate to small dogs, and has an affinity specifically to small and toy breed females (once he gets to know them).  He tends to ignore cats, but would do best with a dog savvy cat.   Fez can be nervous in new circumstances and may be a flight risk in a new home, due to this and his wish to be independent at times- a secure fenced in yard (physical fencing appropriate for a toy breed) is a must.  He is well behaved in the home and is not destructive, and he is crate trained and potty trained.  Fez requires a home without children, he has come a long way with trusting humans and handling- but he has been very clear about the requirement for a child free home.  If you are an experienced dog owner with an affinity for Chi's, this fellow may be perfect for you!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 21, 2025, 1:45 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › *** Chiquita is extremely shy and would take a pateint and loving home for her to adjust***Chiquita is a 2 year old chi mix. She came to us from a hoarding operation where over 130 dogs were rescued. She is learning how to be a dog again but doing great! She loves other dogs and would do best in a home with a doggy friend. Chiquita is very smart and inquisitive. She likes to be in small enclosed areas such as a crate or covered area. She knows to go potty outside. Chiquita can be quite an escape artist so she will need a secure home. This girl is completely up to date with no known medical issues. She is ready for her forever home! You can apply to adopt our dogs at: https://www.pawfectmatch.org/info/adoptionVisit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.May 26, 2025, 3:08 pm
