Story
Woof! 🐾 Hey there, I'm a bit of a shy pup when you first meet me. I'm like a cat—I need about 3-7 days to warm up and show you my true, adorable personality. But hey, patience is the key to our friendship! I absolutely love other dogs. I can't resist saying hi to each and every furry friend, and my cute face tends to win them over. I'm happiest in a home where I can play and interact with another doggy buddy—I'm quite dependent on their company. When it comes to my energy level, I'm just right—moderate is the way to go. I enjoy outdoor adventures, but indoors, I'm the picture of calm and contentment. Walks are a bit new to me, so if something startles me, I might just plop down and pretend I'm invisible. Sharing is caring, especially when it comes to treats and toys. I'm more than happy to share them with my doggy pals. I'm also crate-trained, so I know how to cozy up in my crate when needed. Whether it's indoor playtime or taking care of business outdoors, I'm ready to be the best companion you've ever had. Can't wait to charm my way into your heart! 🐶❤️ Rescue story: My mom gave birth to 6 puppies in a shelter. All of my siblings have found their forever homes and I think I’m ready to find THE ONE!!

Story
Introducing the darling Jennifer, a petite 2-year-old Chihuahua-Jindo mix weighing in at a delightful 10 kilograms. This precious pup has quite the story to tell, having been rescued from a kill shelter alongside her precious puppies. Jennifer is what you might call a "people person" in the canine world. She adores meeting new friends and welcomes them with open paws, allowing even strangers to lavish her with pets and cuddles. In fact, she's quite the social butterfly and doesn't mind being carried around like the little queen she is. And oh, don't even get her started on belly rubs – she's practically an expert at melting hearts with her irresistible display of a soft, fluffy belly begging for attention. Having been a devoted mom to her puppies, Jennifer has learned the art of sharing and getting along swimmingly with dogs of all shapes and sizes. She's a true peacemaker, always opting for a calm and collected approach when there's a sniff of conflict in the air. Whether it's a boisterous playmate or a gentle giant, Jennifer is all about spreading harmony and love in the doggy world. When it comes to cats, Jennifer's curiosity might pique when she spots a stray feline on her walks. But fear not – her focus remains firmly on her trusted handler, ensuring that she stays on track and doesn't get too distracted by those mysterious creatures with whiskers. Now, Jennifer may tend to pull a bit on the leash when she's overcome with excitement on her adventures. But fear not, for she quickly settles down once she's had a chance to take in the sights and sounds of her surroundings. And as for those tear stains? Well, it seems that chicken might be the culprit, but a little TLC and a carefully tailored diet will have her sparkling like the gem she truly is. This charming canine companion is seeking a forever family who can shower her with plenty of love and affection, along with a dose of tranquillity to match her serene disposition. If you believe Jennifer is "the one" for you, please don't hesitate to reach out to her devoted team. She's ready to sprinkle your life with endless joy and puppy kisses! 🐾 To see more videos:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OhJGCgsllwY&list=PLIsLTtIpe3JxsglforEc1FTB9vABc7T-8

Story
🐾 Hello, I'm Cheol-Yong! 🐾 I'm Cheol-Yong, a 3-year-old long-haired Chihuahua with a black and white coat that's as soft as a whisper. I'm a tiny fellow, weighing in at just 3.5 kg. My past has been a bit ruff, and I was rescued from an abusive previous owner. But I'm looking forward to a future filled with love and treats. ## My Story 🏡 I was rescued from a not-so-nice place, and though I've had to say goodbye to one of my eyes, I see a world of possibilities with the other. I'm all fixed up and ready to find a cozy lap to curl up on. ## A Peek Into My Heart 💖 I might be shy at first, but offer me a snack, and you'll see my friendly side in no time. I'll even show you my belly as a sign of trust. I'm a gentle soul who prefers peace over play, and while I'm curious about other dogs, I'd much rather stick close to my human. ## My Likes and Dislikes 🐕‍🦺🐈 I'm not one for roughhousing with other pups, and I tend to keep my focus on my person, even if a cat crosses our path. I love being outdoors and exploring the world at a leisurely pace, but I'm happiest when I can relax in a quiet spot afterward. ## My Manners and Habits 🍽️ I'm a well-behaved boy who doesn't guard his food and hardly ever barks. I know the drill regarding cars and potty breaks, whether indoors or out. ## A Little Request 🙏 I might flinch if you move too quickly above my head—it's a leftover fear from my past. But please be patient with me. Once I know I'm safe, I'll be your shadow, following you with all the love in my little heart. ## Looking for My Forever Friend 🏠 Are you the one who will give me the gentle care and patience I need? In return, I promise to be your loyal companion, your quiet confidant, and a source of endless affection. To see more videos:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jx7TSJ2uCjdCAchHkOIYzIs

Story
Meet Buck! This guy may be small but he is definitely the full package of love, fun and adventure! Buck is settling in nicely and has already mastered walking beautifully on a leash and is doing really well on his potty schedule. His new family should be prepared for an adjustment period in his new home. Buck currently lives with another dog but has been showing signs of resource guarding of both food and toys so at this time he is best living as the solo dog or with slow introductions Buck eventually comes around. Buck has not been tested with children but based on his demeanour he would likely do well with dog savvy children over 6. Food motivated, Buck has been a joy to train and has picked up on cues very quickly. His new family would benefit from continuing Buck’s training so that he can continue to be the best dog he can be.

***REMINDER:  Please read the bio requirements and only fill in the application if you can meet ALL requirements. Due to the number of applications being received for each dog, we are only able to contact the applicants who have met ALL the listed Requirements*** Name/Tag#: Zury 4090  Age: 2years  Sex/Altered: Female/Spayed  Weight: 6 lbs  Breed: Chihuahua  Foster Home Location: OTTAWA, ON  Adoption Fee: $800.00 Temperament: Very sweet natured, gentle and playful.  Activity/Energy Level: Medium  Up to date on Shots: Yes  Housebroken: Yes  Crate Trained: Yes  Ok with Dogs: Yes (does not care for very large dogs- 80+ lbs) Ok with Cats: Unknown  Ok with Kids: Yes, children over 10 years  Origin: Owner surrender Requirements:  Securely fenced yard, someone home most of the time, owner with “little” dog experience, no kids under10 years.     And now, a few words from me:  Hello, Zury here. Did you know my name means “Beauty”? My foster mom thinks I am a beauty, she keeps telling me this when she gives me head kisses. I love head kisses! I also like to snuggle with her. She says I am not a lap dog, because I don’t fill her lap! I am not offended, I just aim to keep trying, by filling that lap often. I do also like to snuggle into a pillow by myself, or even in my crate. My foster mum has these things called “chores’ and “work’ to do, so I guess I am okay with her having her own time, too. I make up for it with playful welcomes and more snuggles.   I love my kibble, bully chews and my foster sister, too. But I mainly love my foster mom. She tells me that she will help me find my forever home. I am very excited. She asked what my wish list would be, and I think I’d like:  Most importantly, my human home a lot.  If there are small humans they should be older as I am easily crushed.  Lots and lots of snuggle time.    And now, a few words from my foster mom:  Zury is a very sweet natured girl. She just loves to be close to you. She curls into a ball and will sleep by you on the sofa or, if possible, on your lap. She is gentle and has a very playful character. She is fairly low maintenance. She may or may not follow you about the house, but she is happy to lay quietly and snooze while you work. She’s a great mix of wanting you near, but not clingy.  She is very smart and already sits for treats. Zury has done amazingly with house training. She is good in her crate and has not shown any signs of being vocal. I really love her little presence; she will be such a wonderful addition to her forever home. Such an easy girl to look after and so easy to love.  Questions?

Story
BIO UPDATE. PEEWEE HAS COME A LONG WAY! Meet Peewee, this 11 month 10 lb boy is the embodiment of love and playfulness in a furry, four-legged friend. In the initial days, you will notice shyness and an air of uncertainty, as he takes refuge in his cozy crate. However, this gentle soul will warm up to the idea of companionship, forging a bond that will have him eager to be right by your side, sharing every moment of joy and laughter. Peewee has a distinctive preference when it comes to weather – not a fan of the cold, yet absolutely enamored with the great outdoors. His eyes light up with enthusiasm as he steps into the open air, running around with boundless energy. It's a delightful sight to witness, as he embraces the freedom and joy that comes with a playful romp. The crate is not just a retreat for Peewee; it's a sanctuary he adores. Throughout the day, you'll find him gracefully moving in and out, finding comfort and security in his little haven. When night falls, he willingly curls up in his crate, creating a peaceful haven for a restful night's sleep. PeeWee is not a cuddler. He likes people, but would rather play and be active and adore you from a respectful distance. What's even more impressive is Peewee's impeccable potty training. He understands the importance of maintaining a clean and orderly living space, showcasing his intelligence and cooperative spirit. In essence, Peewee is not just a dog; he's a source of unconditional love, a playful spirit that thrives on companionship, and a furry friend who brings a sense of joy to every corner of your life. Welcoming Peewee into your home means inviting a world of warmth, laughter, and the purest form of companionship. DISCLAIMER: I understand that the breed, health, age, nature or temperament of the TXCR adopted dog is not guaranteed. I understand that said dog is a rescue that has come from the streets or shelters and that there is no history on this animal PeeWee is a funny kid that will take a special someone to adore him. He kind of grows on you like a fungus, first you are like “oh lord” and then a week later he will win your heart and be your baby boy. PeeWee is apx 11 months old, and 8 pounds, does not mark, and using good potty manners here at the ranch. He is learning leash and harness but still gets scared. PeeWee came from a bad hoarding situation in Mission Texas. Other dogs we rescued from there include Kahn, Prince Emo , and Hope. PeeWee was very unsocialized before coming to the ranch. He still will not just come to a stranger but once he knows you he will let you pick him up and enjoys loves and cuddles after he gives you a hard time for a few days. He plays hard to get but is a giant baby and will not bite or be aggressive. He has a lot of machismo and puts on a good show but is really just scared baby boy acting tough but has a gooey inside 🙂 PeeWee is a mamas boy at heart. He would not be good with children and is not great with a lot of change. He needs an experienced adopter or foster willing to work with him, a fenced yard in needed. He will want to chase the cats so probably no cats. He is good with other dogs but if he feels scared or cornered by other dogs he will growl , and air nip. He would rather run but if he feels threatened by another dog and cornered he will react. He does best with female dogs . PeeWee is at a great age where he is past the puppy training, but young enough to learn neelw things and have positive changes, he just needs someone to give him a chance and if you show him your heart, he certainly will show you his.

Story
Lola is a 4 year old powderpuff Chinese Crested/terrier mix. She is 15 pounds. She is loving and playful but lunges and barks and growls at some other dogs. I have had her for just over a month and she responds well to training with treats. She knows "sit" and "watch me" and walks well in the leash until she sees other dogs. Some dogs she is fine with. The problem is she does the same to kids and I live in a building with kids and an elevator so it is difficult to avoid kids. She is fine in the bath to wash her paws. She actually knows the routine and after the last walk she goes into the bathroom. Lola loves walks and belly rubs and the toys I bought her. She needs a foster pet parent who will continue the training, who doesn't live in a condo or apartment building and who doesn't have kids. Lola gets attached to a kind person very quickly and will follow you around, peak her head around the shower curtain to say hello , is learning to fetch and will cuddle on the couch with you.

Meet Hugo, a sweet soul who's had a bit of a journey in finding his forever home. Sadly, his previous owner passed away, and now he's on the lookout for a new loving family. At first glance, Hugo may seem shy, but don't let that fool you—he warms up faster than you can say "treats!" This little guy doesn't mind being picked up by friendly strangers and is quick to make new friends. When it comes to canine companions, Hugo prefers pals who match his laid-back vibe. He's not a fan of big, hyper dogs and feels more comfortable with calm and gentle buddies. With a moderate energy level, Hugo loves outdoor adventures but transforms into a serene companion once indoors. He's a pro on the leash, though loud noises can startle him. He prefers peaceful walks over bustling streets. If he needs something, he has a polite bark that he stops promptly when he's heard. Plus, he's a champ in his crate—a safe haven for this charming pup. If you're seeking a calm, little buddy to share quiet moments and leisurely strolls, Hugo could be the perfect match for you. Reach out to us to meet this delightful companion! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xi20VsYVNmc&list=PLIsLTtIpe3Jywc39feK5yrkpNaXB445v6&index=2
