Story
Cookie and Tiny are a bonded *we think* set of Chihuahua's that are fairly new to BR. Cookie is the larger one at around 8lbs and fairly tall, and Tiny is smaller at around 4lbs but needs to maybe gain a pound or so. They are both recently spayed and neutered and since that time Tiny's obsession with Cookie has abated a bit so we are now not 100% sure that they have to be together-but they come from the same home and get along great so it would be ideal for them to be together! They can bark at strange men especially but did great with our male vet and seem to calm down after spending just a brief amount of time with them. Cookie especially is a kisser and loves to love on people-awwww! They are becoming better with other dogs now that they settled a bit and as the hormones go out of their system we hope that will improve even more. Tiny was a marker when we first got him but that is definitely diminishing! Cookie can be vocal when left so would not do good in an apartment setting.March 17, 2026, 10:33 am

Story
Zippy is relatively new to Bonaparte's Retreat. We know that he is experiencing some extreme anxiety from his previous trauma so we have started him on Prozac recently and he is the second week of that and it may be a medication he would need to be on for life so that is something a potential adopter would need to know.  Zippy is 10000% Chihuahua and will attach to one person as they do, but he can be reactive with the other humans in the home that he is not bonded with so we are thinking he would do best in a home with one person either male or female. He will also take a while to warm up to someone so they would need to know that going in as well...and he can be very vocal until he feels comfy so we are not thinking he would be appropriate in an apartment/condo setting. He is ok with other dogs though and did come with a canine brother but they are not bonded so he will not be coming with Zippy. We would not recommend Zippy be in a home with children and would recommend someone be very careful with Zippy around children. He will be very vocal and a meet & greet as well and potentially reactive if we dont keep a slow and soft vibe so keep that in mind.  He has come a LOOONG way since he has been with his fosters but he does still have a ways to go...but we think having him move to a home where he can heavily bond and continue his growth may be the best route for him so he is available for adoption now. He can be VERY loving with the person he does bond with after he feels safe so his new person will have that to look forward too and will feel like they won a medal when that happens!April 16, 2026, 3:29 pm

Sprout is a brand new teeny Chi to BR so we are still learning more about him. He was found as a stray and came to us through MACC but we do know he needs a fairly intense dental and may have a heart murmur so we will be getting both of those things checked out ASAP! Stay tuned for more info but he will be coming soon until we know more.April 16, 2026, 3:29 pm

Story
Rocky is a new guy to us at BR but so far he has been fairly shut down due to the trauma he has been through the last couple weeks. His person was elderly and had to enter a care community and could not bring Rocky so he was surrendered to the shelter where we pulled him. He is opening up the last few days he has been with us which is awesome but we are going to wait to have him vetted until he is a little more comfortable so we can make sure he is ready to go to his new home. Stay tuned for more info!March 17, 2026, 10:33 am

Story
Norman is new to BR but we already know he is sweet senior, 8 years old, doesn’t pay any attention to the other dog in his foster's home, likes rides in the car and is independent. Norman doesn't seem to be much of a snuggler but who knows? That may change with time. He also seems to walk well on leash and eats his recommended soft food like a horse lol! Norman seems about 90% potty trained and has only had  2 accidents since his foster picked him up at the shelter but that could also possibly be the meds he's on for his very recent dental (he doesn't have many/any teeth now) or getting settled with his fosters. He did seem to sleep thru the night which is nice! He does seem a bit cloudy in his eyes but we will be getting him fully checked out the first week of March and will update from there!  March 17, 2026, 10:33 am
