Story
Hi, I’m Jack! I’m a 30-pound, 6-year-old Chihuahua/Miniature Pinscher mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. I came to RescueConnect after spending about a month in a shelter, following some time on my own. Because of my past, I can be a little unsure around new people outside the home, so I’ll need a bit of patience and guidance when meeting strangers. But once I trust you, get ready—my signature “jumping for joy” greetings will win you over in no time! My fosters have completely fallen in love with my playful, spirited nature—what they call my “jumping Jack” attitude. I enjoy playing with my foster sister (she’s about my size), soaking up the sunshine on the deck, watching birds, going for car rides, and, of course, cuddling on the couch with my humans. I’m housebroken and do great on a leash. I’ll even let you know when I need to go out with a polite little tip-tap by the door. At night, I sleep soundly in my dog bed, and in the morning, I love to snuggle up and gently wake you. After spending time on my own, I’ve developed a special love for mealtime—another occasion for my joyful jumping! My perfect home would be one where I’m part of a pack—I really love having other dogs around and people nearby most of the time. A two-story home would be ideal for me, since storms can be scary and I feel much more comfortable when I’m farther away from the noise. I’m not a fan of being crated, so I’d do best in a home where I can stay out and relax with my furry friends while my humans are away. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who brings both cuddles and a little bounce to your life, I’d love to meet you. Are you ready for some love—with a side of happy hops?

Toby was going to be euthanized at a local shelter because he had fear growling. We think he was abused in his previous life, so he needs an experienced owner. Once he trusts you, he is your shadow.

Snowflake

Chihuahua

Female, 9 mos
Beulaville, NC
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Like her namesake, Snowflake is one of a kind. This sweet little girl has not been well-socialized and really struggles to interact appropriately with people. She is very playful and great with other dogs, especially other young playful dogs. Dogs that are rough or too big can be a little scary, but she accepts playful friends of most sizes! However, when it comes to people, Snowflake just does not know what to do with herself. She is friendly and loving, but has only learned to show her love by grabbing hands and pants with her teeth. For this reason, Snowflake is not recommended in a home with young children. She doesn't mean to hurt, but it is tough for her to learn anything new. She has also struggled to understand potty-training. She will use pee pads and go outside, but will also have accidents on blankets and cushions. Snowflake is about 8 lbs, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and ready for her new home. She may have hydrocephalus, but has shown no signs of neurological issues (other than being a little slow to learn new things). It is recommended that she have regular vet visits and her new owners keep a close eye for any issues. Snowflake would be happiest in a home with other dogs.
