Coco loves her walks and will even tell her foster mom when it’s walk time! This little Chihuahua mix is happy to nap on the couch or go for a long walk - as long as she’s with her person. She does well with her foster cat siblings. She is good with respectful older kids but hasn’t been tested around toddlers. We are working on potty training and she is almost there! She loves going for a ride in the car! Fill out an application at www.maggiesmissionrescue.org

Bootsie

Chihuahua Mixed Breed (Medium)

Female, 9 yrs 1 mo
Fairlawn, OH
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is Bootsie, a 9-year-old sweetheart looking for her forever home. She’s house trained, leash-ready, and loves affection from her favorite people.  Bootsie does well with other dogs who are not confrontational.   She is very food motivated.  She weighs just under 20lbs.  Bootsie has some sensitivity around being handled — she’s not comfortable being picked up or touched on her back and sides — so she’s best suited for an adult-only home and having a fenced in yard would be best for her to go in and out on her own.  When she does need to be handled beyond what she’s comfortable with, her foster slips on a small muzzle and is able to handle her without her acting out.  We are continuing to work with her to get her more comfortable around being handled. With patience and understanding, she’ll reward her forever family with endless loyalty. Bootsie has a small lump on her shoulder that has already been checked out by the vet — it's benign (non-cancerous). We're keeping an eye on it as a routine precaution and to monitor for any changes. Bootsie is spayed, microchipped, up-to-date on vaccines, and current on heartworm, flea, and tick prevention. Bootsie's adoption fee is $150. Interested in adopting Bootsie?

Story
Edit: Still Available 4/11Toby is simply the wrong dog for the owners situation. He is a friendly, loving guy. He will be a year old this month. He is housebroken but needs consistency. He is very well crate trained. He needs careful introduction to other dogs as he goes full play mode, and doesn't have any manners. This is also how he is with cats and will give chase. He loves balls and other toys. He is good with kids and people. Walks well on a leash. He does need neutered.The owner is older and simply unable to keep up with his energy level. He received Toby as a gift, and while we have tried many different things, we both feel Toby would be better with a family who can wear him out and appreciate his sense of fun.
