Story
This is Walter! Walter was found as a stray covered in fleas and very thin. He is currently hw negative, neutered, utd on all vacs and preventatives, and much healthier! He walks well on a leash, is mostly houae trained and rides well in the car. Walter is a sweet sweet boy who loves to cuddle, plays fetch, loves the sunshine and wants to be wherever his human is. Walter would do best in a home with one other submissive dog around his size. He loves having a friend to play with but he is a more dominant personality. He is currently in a home with cats and other dogs, and he likes the cats...maybe a little too much. He wants them to play and chases them when they run. It would also be recommended that his future family be familiar with the chihuahua personality. While Walter is actually very friendly with everyone in our family, he does seem partial to females, he is protective of his people(and his food), and is slow to warm up to new people coming into the home. I would not recommend him for small children. All our dogs/cats are vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested, on preventions, and spayed/neutered if old enough.

Story
Hi, I’m Mitch and I’m a ball of energy. Despite my small size I have a big personality. I am 5 years young but still have some puppy like qualities. I enjoy sunbathing and running around chasing birds. I’m not great on a leash but enjoy long walks. I’m crate trained and potty trained as well. Although I have a lot of energy, I also enjoy snuggling. I love treats and playing catch. I’d love a new home with a nice sized yard to run around and someone who wants to spend a lot of time with me. Fenced yard would be great but I’m also invisible fence trained, so that’s an option. Looking forward to meeting you!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Chanel is a 10-pound chihuahua cutie. She enjoys being pet while sitting next to you on a couch. She loves following her foster sister, a terrier/chihuahua mix, and looks to her for clues on how to behave, except that Chanel doesn't bark! Quite different from most chihuahuas. She is house trained. She will go on short walks on a leash. It would be best if Chanel is adopted into a home with another dog. Her foster sister is not social with other dogs, but that doesn't really bother Chanel. She would likely warm up quickly to a friendly dog. I don't know how she would react to a cat, but doesn't seem to have problems with the squirrels and rabbits she sees in the yard. Chanel needs to be in a home without small children. She is not a fan of chaos. She is anxious and avoids being picked up. She needs calmness and low stress. She likes to jump on the living room couches and chairs and lately makes a habit of jumping into whatever spot my husband has been sitting. I think she's a little jokester! Chanel is crate trained and sleeps there at night. We currently feed her in her crate, mainly to keep her foster sister from getting to her food. During the day she has the run of our downstairs and is fine out of the crate when we leave the house. She enjoys going outside to our fenced yard and roaming around. She runs up on the deck when she's ready to go in.Please consider this sweet girl for your home. With patience she will become a loving part of your family.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 22, 2023, 4:02 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › These two sweet companions come as a pair. They have spent the last 2 1/2 years in a wonderful home with a wonderful human mom until she was lost to cancer earlier this year. They are very loving and enjoy spending time with their humans whether snuggling inside or going on walks outside. They were adopted together from Pawfect Match Rescue as babies, so they are best buddies. They are relatively low maintenance and they are intelligent, learning their daily routine in good order. They do well with the other dogs in their foster home.  If you’re looking for a ready-made love and family … here you go!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.September 22, 2023, 4:02 am

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Bingo is the perfect mix of a cat and a dog, he rewards people who respect his boundaries with cuddles and little kisses when he's in the mood.  Bingo likes the finer things in life, like bacon flavored treats, soft beds and blankets he can use to burrow under.  He is the sweetest chi his fosterer has ever encountered.  He can take or leave other dogs and would be comfortable as an only dog or in a house with other laid back, more mature dogs.  He hasn't experienced children, but we suspect he would prefer older children who would be respectful of his need for alone time.
