Story
Currently fostered in Texas Garth is apx 8 years young and 12 pounds. He is such a gentle soul! We adore this boy. Garth was rescued from our local shelter. He was previously neutered so we are assuming he was someone’s dog at some point . You can tell though that he has had a rough life in recent years. He has very patchy fur, which is getting better every day. His skin and ears are all better and healed. He is a gentle, loving and sweet sweet baby boy! Great with all animals and people and cats. His only quirk is he does not like the kennel. He does not mark inside but needs to be in a home where he can go out potty often or he can have wee pads or a dog door. He does not always hold his urine all night so we do use wee pads for him at night time and he is good about going on them. Garth just has such an amazing demeanor and is going to make a perfect companion for someone. He is not barky (unless kenneled) he walks on leash and harness, he is great at meeting new people and dogs, we have never once heard him growl or fuss. He is great at getting baths and nails and ears done, a perfect gentleman. Choose Garth! Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.

Story
Currently fostered in Texas Butch aka Butchy aka Toby lol Butch is 4-5 years old and 16 pounds. His name is Butch, that is the name he came with however, for some reason, he really looks like a Toby to me and I always accidentally call him Toby or Toby Tobe , so now he knows both 😂 Butch’s mom had to be put in hospice care and he came to the rescue . He was an obese 20 pounds when he came here but now is down to 16.5 , 13-15 would be a good weight for him. Butch is scared of everything. He is afraid of his own shadow. He was terrified when he first got here but never aggressive. You can pick him up but he does not ask for it nor does he ask for attention or bid for your love. He hides most days under a shelf on a bed we made him and he lets you pet him but he just freezes when you do, although recently when I pet him he is at-least less stiff and maybe in 2-3 more weeks he will actually pretend to enjoy it . Poor Butch had a sheltered life and was under socialized, but that was the only life he knew, so coming here he was very shut down. But recently, when we’re not watching him and we spy on him through the window, he does lay with the other dogs and kind of prances around and seems pretty relaxed. He likes to go outside, but does not really want to be out there with you. He basically acts like a feral dog, but never shows any sign of aggression and he is very much like having a cat. He will use the pee pads or go outside. He MUST have a fenced yard. He does not understand walking on a leash. He also does not actually run from you. He will just sit there and freeze and let you pick him up but sometimes he will nervous pee if he does not know the person picking him up. It took him about two weeks with me to stop peeing on me, but he did, thankfully. He never barks or fusses or whines or cries. We have never heard a peep from him. He will tolerate baths and nails and ears but does not enjoy it, again he just freezes terrified. He sun bathes with his friends when it is warm. He sleeps a lot. He is a cat dog. But I do think once he is in a home and gets used to that new home with his new people, he will relax a lot, and will be a loving part of the family. It is just going to take a lot of time and patience. He has beautiful eyes and a beautiful rare chocolate Merle coat. He needs a patient and loving adopter that will just give him the time he needs to grieve, acclimate, and adjust. Gentle hands and soft voices. He is great with all other animals and he has never met kids but I think would be fine with older kids, he has zero aggression, but would be terrified of a toddler. He just needs time. I believe in him and I hope someone else out there will too. 💜 Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.

Story
Ginger is apx 8-10 years young , 10 pounds, and does not act like a senior dog. She does love her cuddles, blankets and nap time, but she has a lot of life in her and is full of love and curiosity. She loves being outside and following the humans around while they do their daily chores. Great with all animals and people and well mannered gentle children. Ginger is a cutie pie. She is really well mannered and has a good demeanor. She acclimates quickly to a new routine and new people. Ginger is her original name . Her human papa passed away and Ginger came to us. She is looking for her new family that help her heal and return to a loving family home that adores her . She did have a dental and lost a few teeth but still has plenty of cleaned pearly whites and fresh breath now 🙂 She is still learning leash and harness walking and is a little nervous trying this. She appears to have good potty manners and goes outdoors or on a wee pad Apply www.texaschihuahua.org Please read our Q&A on our we site for basic adoption questions

Story
Currently fostered in Texas ***Please read bio fully ! *** Emmett is approximately 2 to 3 years old and 8 1/2 pounds. He is a gorgeous charcoal color boy. Emmett was rescued from a terrible hoarding situation and it has taken him a long time to come around. He has been with us since November 2025 He is great with other dogs. He loves to play. He barks at the cats but would not hurt the cats. He still does not come to us for attention or really want us to pick him up or per him. We can corner him and pick him up without him biting, and we can bathe him do his nails give him his monthly prevention, etc. He just recently stopped running out of the room every time we entered and he does sit and wait now for his breakfast and treats and we’ll take chicken out of my hand. He follows us around and seems to start enjoying seeing us, but still is very weary of human interaction he is kind of more cat like than dog like. We are hoping in the right home that Emmett will blossom and start to enjoy human attention and interaction, but he is not there yet. He does, however really love other dogs and must have a playmate in the home. No small children. He must have an extremely well fenced in yard. It would help if the dogs in the home are very social and friendly as he definitely mimics what other dogs are doing and is quite the little shadow . He is a work in progress, certainly a project dog, but we believe there is someone for everyone out there and Emmett is fine here at the rescue for however long it takes to find his someone 🙂 APPROVED ADOPTERS PLEASE SEND YOUR HOLD REQUESTS TO THE EMAIL YOU WERE GIVEN.
