Story
Meet Sara! We actually call her Sister Sara… when she was a little puppy, her markings on her face made it look like she had a perfect cross right between her eyes and down her nose. Sara is up for adoption because her 92-year old human momma recently passed away. Sara is 8 years old and weighs just under 8 pounds. She’s super shy at first but once she warms up to you, she’s all play and cuddles. She has some typical chihuahua traits of shaking and barking when she’s scared and can be a bit nippy if her boundaries aren’t respected. That’s why we don’t recommend her for a home with small /young children. She would thrive in a more active home, with or without another doggie. She has lived with a cat and does well with that. She is spayed and current on all her vaccines, as well as flea & tick and heart worm prevention.

Story
This adorable pup is undergoing Parvo treatment through APA! and is expected to make a full recovery. They are not quite out of the woods yet and will need a few more days to complete treatment before leaving the Parvo ward; but that doesn’t mean they can’t start getting the word out that they need an adopter lined up for when they are ready to leave! If you are interested in learning more about me you can email tarrytown.dog@austinpetsalive.org. Please be aware that they absolutely cannot go home until they test negative, but we will be taking 1-2 people’s information to be lined up for their adoption.

Story
Hi, I’m Sarafina 💗 I’m a sweet, sensitive girl with a big heart and lots of love to give. New places and situations can feel scary at first, but once I start to feel safe, my playful and affectionate personality really shines. I do well with other dogs and enjoy their company, especially when it’s time to play and get some energy out. I’m very friendly and get excited when meeting new people. I’ve been around kids and can play a bit enthusiastically once I’m comfortable, so older or dog-savvy children would be a great fit for me. Being alone is something I’m still getting braver on. I feel most secure when my people are nearby, and I do best in a home where someone is around most of the time. A house would suit me better than an apartment so I can fully relax. I’m also on a special diet to support my urinary health and do best with a calm, predictable routine that helps me stay comfortable and confident. I may take a little time to settle in, but once I do, I form deep bonds and love with my whole heart. If you have a patient, understanding home and are looking for a loyal companion who will truly adore you, I would love to meet you.

Story
Meet Raul, an independent and spirited pup ready to find his forever home! Raul is currently living in a foster home and is looking for a family that understands his unique needs and can provide him with the love and attention he deserves. Raul does well with other dogs while out on walks, but his ideal home would not have resident dogs. He has a strong chase instinct with cats, so a cat-free household would be best for him. In his current foster home, Raul shares his space with two female cats, but they do not interact closely due to his tendency to lunge and bark. When it comes to being alone, Raul is quite content in a gated area or free-roaming for short periods. He's house-trained and hasn't shown any issues in that regard. While Raul is a loving companion, he can be a bit particular about being handled or picked up. Sometimes he enjoys being pet, but other times he may growl and snap. It's important to approach him with patience and respect for his boundaries. Raul has made progress in his behavior and no longer exhibits food guarding with humans. However, he still displays this behavior with the resident cats, so it's essential to feed him separately. If you're looking for an independent and spirited companion who thrives in a cat-free environment, Raul could be the perfect match for you. With the right understanding and care, Raul is sure to blossom into a loyal and loving member of your family. Don't miss out on the chance to give Raul the forever home he's been waiting for!

Cairo

Chihuahua Cardigan Welsh Corgi

Male, 5 yrs 3 mos
Austin, TX
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Cairo is a fluffy, adorable 5-year-old Corgi/Chihuahua mix with short legs, a soft coat, and an irresistibly sweet face. Right now, Cairo is thriving in his foster home, a calm, low-stress home where he can rest, relax, and enjoy a steady routine. He's looking forward to meeting his forever family that can provide the same! In the home, Cairo is potty trained, great in the car, and somewhat crate trained. He’s pretty indifferent to other dogs and cats and coexists peacefully, even sharing space and sleeping alongside them. He enjoys chewing on bones, going for car rides, being carried around, and sticking close to his person wherever they go. Cairo isn’t looking for an active lifestyle - he’s all about quiet companionship, cozy naps, gentle affection, and feeling safe and settled. With his sweet nature and loyal heart, Cairo will make a wonderful companion for someone ready to offer patience, love, and a peaceful home.

Story
Nushka is a charming senior chihuahua mix with a gentle soul and a surprisingly youthful spark. After spending 13 loving years with her family, she’s now looking for a stable, peaceful home where she can settle in and be cherished once again. Don’t let her age fool you—this little lady is spry, healthy, and loves a good long walk. In fact, she can easily keep pace with (and sometimes outlast!) even the most active humans. When she’s not out exploring, Nushka enjoys quiet companionship and cozy moments, offering affection on her own sweet, independent terms. She’s wonderfully low-maintenance: quiet, not much of a barker, and very self-sufficient. Nushka gets along beautifully with other dogs, children, and new people, making her an easy addition to just about any home. At heart, Nushka is simply looking for comfort, consistency, and someone to love. If you’re searching for a calm, loyal companion who still has plenty of pep in her step, Nushka might just be your perfect match.

Please go slow with me. Life hasn't always been easy so I'm timid and can get snappy when scared. That being said I'll do just about anything for treats- especially the Pupperoni ones! I like being held and will do best in a calm household.

These pups are in Austin, Texas too!

Chronic is a little sweetie. He loves to cuddle and play. He has been with his sister and literate since birth we got both of them together. They came as a gift to myself and my mother in law for Mother’s Day in 2024. Chronic just turned 2. He has had shots, however, he is due again shortly. I am a full time student, mom of two boys, a teenager who has autism and a wild 2 year old. My mother in law in disabled and I care full time for her on top of 4 dogs, including chronic. I wish I had more time for him, and if possible I would rehome all of them. But chronic is the only one that belongs to me. Please help me give my baby a better life, he deserves much more than I’m able to give him.
