Story
Age:   approx 11 years old   Weight: 14  lbs My adoption fee is $ 199  which includes transportation charges to the Northeast. Meet Hillary — the Comeback Queen! This fabulous little lady has been on a major transformation journey. Once a plus&#226&#128&#145sized princess at 26 pounds, Hillary has worked her tail off (with plenty of wiggles along the way) and is now rocking a sleek, healthy 14 pounds. At 11 years young, she’s feeling lighter, brighter, and ready for her next big milestone — finding her forever person to cheer her on as she continues her wellness journey. Hillary is the definition of a snuggle bug. If you’ve ever dreamed of a warm, wiggly companion curled up beside you in bed, she’s your girl. She adores being close, soaking up affection, and turning herself into the world’s cutest weighted blanket. She’s also a social butterfly who loves playing with other dogs and soaking up sunshine whenever she gets the chance. Give her a warm patch of light and she’ll happily melt into it. Hillary gets along beautifully with dogs her size or smaller, and with her newfound energy, she sometimes thinks she’s big enough to take on the big dogs too — a little sassy confidence never hurt anyone. She comes fully prepared for her next chapter: spayed, microchipped, and up&#226&#128&#145to&#226&#128&#145date on all vaccines. If you’re looking for a sweetheart with a glow&#226&#128&#145up story, a cuddly spirit, and a heart full of determination, Hillary is ready to love you fiercely and snuggle you daily.   If you serious about adopting, the first step is to fill out an adoption application on our website:   https://www.smalldogrescuene.org/February 7, 2026, 8:42 pm

Not good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Age:   approx 1 years old   Weight: 10  lbs My adoption fee is $450  which includes transportation charges to the Northeast. Channing is a small Chihuahua/Terrier mix who came into an emergency vet clinic just two days after being hit by a car. His family, unable to afford treatment, made the heartbreaking decision to have him euthanized—an outcome that nearly came to pass after the father admitted he couldn't bring himself to follow through with his original plan to shoot him. Before proceeding, the veterinary team took investigative x-rays and discovered multiple pelvic fractures and a tibial fracture in his left leg. Despite the injuries, they saw hope. With intensive cage rest, medication, and supportive care, they believed Channing had a real shot at recovery. Channing is nervous and will need an experienced chihuahua owner. He needs time to feel safe. Once he trust you he is great. He doesn't really bark unless there is something to bark about.
