Story
Stray Bae is a two-year-old tri-color chihuahua with a gentle, steady way about her that you notice almost immediately. Whatever her early days looked like, she came through them still open and trusting, and she connects with people in a way that feels easy and natural. She’s a people-focused dog through and through. Other pets are fine, but they’re not her priority. Bae wants to be near her person, whether that means sitting quietly beside you or following along as you move from room to room. She watches, listens, and stays engaged, like she’s keeping pace with your day. When you come home, she’s right there to greet you, eager and happy, popping up onto her hind legs to meet you face-to-face before anything else. It’s her way of checking in and reconnecting. She’s also more agile than you might expect, light on her feet and comfortable navigating around furniture and busy spaces. One of her little habits is stepping just ahead of you as you walk, weaving in and out like she’s leading the way. Bae would do best in a home where someone is around most of the day and enjoys having a close companion. She responds quickly to consistency and attention, and once she settles in, she forms a strong, steady bond with her person. She’s not looking for anything complicated, just a place where she can be part of someone’s everyday life and know she’s there to stay.

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
Meet Momo, a sweet and gentle 10-year-old senior who is blossoming more each day in her foster home in San Antonio, TX. Don’t let her age fool you—her vet says she is in great health, and she has so much love left to give! This darling girl may have started off a little shy, but once she feels safe, her affectionate personality truly shines. Momo now loves being held and cuddled, happily soaking up attention from her people and forming strong bonds with those she trusts. Momo is wonderfully well-rounded and gets along beautifully with dogs, cats, and kids, making her a great fit for a variety of households. She would also do well as an only dog, as she truly enjoys soaking up attention and bonding closely with her people. She has excellent manners in the home—she is potty trained and knows how to use a doggie door, which makes her an easy and low-maintenance companion. At night, Momo’s favorite place to be is curled up on the couch, enjoying a cozy and peaceful sleep near her humans. While she isn’t a fan of being in a kennel, she does very well when given a small, quiet space sectioned off with a baby gate where she feels safe and secure. Momo would thrive in a patient, loving home that will continue to build her confidence and give her the affection she craves. She’s the perfect mix of gentle, loving, and loyal—and she’s ready to find a forever family who will cherish her just as much as she will adore them. You can apply directly for Momo by clicking the Apply for Adoption button on the linked page. https://www.shelterluv.com/embed/animal/FODS-A-838 All our dogs come with 30 days of free post-adoption support through Petcademy.org. This benefit includes free access to Petcademy's team of trainers/behaviorists, as well as access to online materials that will help you settle your new family member into your home. You can text unlimited questions to Petcademy and they'll respond within 24 hours (Monday-Friday).

Story
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.
