Story
Local Surrender Pa KL 5254 Nacho is a 5-year-old Chihuahua with exactly the kind of personality you'd expect, sweet, spicy, and packed into a tiny body. He's full of charm, character, and just the right amount of sass that makes Chihuahuas so lovable. Nacho knows what he likes, loves his routines, and thrives when he's with "his person(people)." Once he bonds with you, he is incredibly loyal and affectionate, always wanting to be closewhether that's curled up next to you on the couch or following you from room to room or around the yard. The last few months have been a big adjustment for Nacho. His world changed when he was given up/handed to caring person at a McDonald's in Philadelphia, and since then, he's been navigating a lot of new experiences. He now lives in a home with three large dogs, which has been a huge transition for a little guy like him. Through it all, Nacho has shown resilience and continues to open up more each day, but he would truly thrive in a more predictable, calm environment where he can feel secure again. Nacho is looking for a home with someone who understands and appreciates small dog tendencies. He would do best with an owner who respects his personality, gives him time to settle in, and enjoys the quirks that come with a true Chihuahua companion. He's not just a doghe's a little sidekick with a whole lot of love to give. He absolutely loves attention and being doted on. Nacho enjoys being held, cuddled, and talked to, and he will happily soak up all the affection you're willing to give. He also loves going for walks and getting out to explore the world at his own paceit's one of his favorite ways to build confidence and bond with his person. In return, he offers deep devotion and companionship that only a dog like him can provide. Nacho is currently learning house manners and will need a patient and understanding adopter to continue helping him succeed. He may have previously been used to indoor pee pads, but now that he's neutered, he's working on transitioning and building more consistent habits. With structure, encouragement, and patience, he will continue to make great progress. He would thrive in a calmer, stable home where he can decompress from the big changes he's experienced and truly settle into a routine. an adopter with who is experienced with small dogs, would help him feel safe and allow his personality to shine. If you're someone who understands that great things come in small packages and you're ready to give a deserving dog the stability, patience, and love he needs, Nacho might just be your perfect match This lil fella is Nacho, who would have a pretty incredible story to tell if we knew how to understand dog language: he ended up with a nice lady minding her own business in the Mickey Ds drive thru in Kensington when a total stranger gave her this 7 lb, 5 year old boy. Fortunately she knows someone at Wags and she also knows that her life isnt conducive to pet ownership (12 hour days and frequent travel). Nacho is currently staying with a foster. Hes a tiny little floof muppet. He is dog friendly, cats unknown, kids unknown. He will need to work on house manners, but he seems to be catching on, and hes a stage 5 clinger. Typical chihuahua behaviors. Come meet this little guy and see if he is your next best friend. Please visit our website www.wagsrescue.org to learn more about this amazing dog and Wags Rescue.

Story
PA Kennel License #5254Wags RescueSouthampton Pa 18966 Local Surrender Meet Cecelia a tiny, radiant soul with a heart thats been quietly learning how to shine. This 7-pound spayed Chihuahua mix, affectionately known as a magnificent mutt, wears a soft, fluffy white coat that matches her gentle spirit. Cecelias story has a tender beginning. She came from a hoarding situation where love and human connection were likely in short supply. Because of that, the world felt big and uncertain at first. She could be a little snippy in the beginning not out of meanness, but out of fear and unfamiliarity. And honestly, who could blame her? But heres where Cecelia truly begins to glow. With patience, routine, and kindness from her foster mom, Cecelia has been making beautiful strides. She now sleeps in bed, curled up close something that once would have felt impossible to her. Shes crate trained, doing well with house training (especially with a consistent schedule), and learning that people can be safe, loving, and hers. Cecelia isnt a plug-and-play pup shes a diamond in the making. Shell need a patient, understanding person who will give her the time she deserves to continue building trust. But once she finds her person, theres no doubt she will blossom fully into the beautiful flower she was always meant to be. If you have a gentle heart, a steady routine, and room in your life for a little dog with a big journey behind her, Cecelia may just be your perfect match.

  PA Kennel License #5254Wags Rescue & ReferralSouthampton Pa 18966Available 5/10/2025 Originated fromMaggie Society DL# 16405Wilson NC 27893 Meet Chalupa Chip, a 7-year-old chihuahua mix with the emotional range of a Victorian poet and the bravery of a soggy tortilla. Chalupa is a social butterfly... with other dogs. Big dogs, small dogs, weird dogs with questionable vibeshe's ready to party. But hand him a squeaky toy? Absolutely not. That's clearly a tiny possessed demon and he will not be gaslit into thinking otherwise. Cats? He tolerates them in the same way one tolerates a coworker who microwaves fishpolitely, but with visible judgment. Chalupa likely had a rough start in life, so he doesn't hand out trust like free samples at Costco. You've got to earn it. But once you do? Congratulations. You now have a clingy, snuggly, under-the-covers burrowing heat-seeking missile who will love you with the intensity of a thousand suns (and insist on being the little spoon). He's equal parts sass, sweetness, and emotional baggagebut honestly, same. Please visit our website www.wagsrescue.org to learn more about this amazing dog and Wags Rescue.

PA Kennel License #5254Wags Rescue & ReferralSouthampton Pa 18966Available 1/16/2025 Originated fromMaggie Society DL# 16405Wilson NC 27893 Meet Itsey Bitsey Itsey Bitsey is a 12-year-old Dachshund-Chihuahua mix weighing in at a mighty 7 pounds,and every ounce of her is pure love, on her own terms. She is a one-person dog in the most beautiful sense. When she chooses you, she chooses you completely. You'll find her curled up beside you on the sofa, tucked under a blanket, perfectly content as long as her person is near. She's not looking for a party,she's looking for her person. Itsey Bitsey does best in a calm, quiet home. She's not a fan of strangers or chaos, and she doesn't pretend otherwise. A peaceful household ideally someone who lives alone and ishome often, whether retired, working from home, or just a true homebody is where she will absolutely flourish. She is a healthy senior girl, managing well on long-term medications with no fuss. She's proven she can hold down the fort when left home alone, but she'll always be happiest when her person walks back through the door. Her perfect match is someone who thinks the best night is a blanket, a sofa, and a small dog snuggled close. A quiet home with norowdy pets is where she'll truly shine. She may not run to greet you right away but when she decides you're hers, you'll feel it every single day. Some dogs fill a house. Itsey Bitsey will fill your heart   Meet Itsey Bitsey Itsey Bitsey is a tiny 12-year-old, 6-pound Mini Dachshund with a gentle soul who is looking for a calm, loving home to spend her golden years. She bonds deeply with her person and absolutely loves being close her favorite place is cuddled under a blanket on the sofa, soaking up love and companionship. After her beloved owner passed away, Itsey Bitsey found herself in a shelter. She was very scared and initially would not eat or drink. Thankfully, a rescue stepped in and gave her the second chance she deserved. With time, patience, and love in her foster home, she has slowly begun to feel safe again and now her tail is finally wagging as her sweet personality shines through. Itsey Bitsey can be fearful of men, but her foster family is helping her build confidence and she continues to make progress. She will need a patient adopter who understands that trust takes time. It took about a month for her to feel secure in her foster home, and she continues to blossom every day. She would thrive in a quiet home with someone who is home often. She gets along well with calm dogs and cats, but she would also be perfectly happy as an only pet since she truly just wants to be with her person. Itsey Bitsey is deaf, but it doesn't slow her down or affect her loving nature. She is doing well with potty training when kept on a consistent schedule. She will be available for adoption after she has some needed dental work completed, which will hopefully help her feel much more comfortable and happy. This precious girl is looking for a patient, understanding home where she can continue to feel safe, loved, and cherished.
