Story
FULL OF EFFERVESCENT ENERGY  DOB 1/1/14, 6.5 pounds   Hey there, everyone! I’m Bubbles, a charming, loving, and friendly tricolor Chihuahua gal who got my name because I’m always filled with effervescent energy and can run like the wind. Don't you love the golden tip on my tail? I luxuriate when my foster mom showers me with plenty of attention and gives me every opportunity to snuggle with her. I love playing with other small dogs but am understandably cautious around larger dogs. I haven’t been around cats, but I’m open to meeting dog-friendly ones. I was adopted as a puppy, but recently my owner had some financial reverses and could not afford the apartment pet deposit. Fortunately, his kind-hearted neighbor, who happens to be a HOPE cat foster mom, stepped up to the plate and agreed to foster me until I could find a new home. She has opened up a whole new world for me! I had previously led a sheltered existence since my former owner had never walked me and had kept me on a small patio most of the time. Not only am I inside most of the time now where I can cuddle with my foster mom, but also I’m learning to walk on a leash. I relish all the other people and canines whom I meet on our daily excursions. Even though I’m tiny, nothing makes me happier than for Foster Mom to invest her time and energy into treating me like a big dog. Now the time is right for me to become the perfect addition to a loving forever home. If you’re looking for bundle of love the size of a minute, I’m the cuddly lap dog for you! Arrange to meet me today, and I hope you’ll take me home in your purse. I promise to leave itsy-bitsy paw prints all over your heart.    HOPE ID D26-0206-0009 Bubbles’ $200 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas. To apply online:http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php If you have questions prior to filling out the application or want to find out which adoption site Bubbles will be this weekend, email us at lisagilchrist16@gmail.com, and a volunteer will get back to you.

Story
LOVES TO CUDDLE WITH HIS HOOMANS  DOB 8/1/25, weight 12 # Hey there, everyone! I’m Pablo, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate ball of energy who’s also a black Chihuahua mix fella with four white slippers! I do best with lots of close family contact. Wouldn’t you know that cuddling in Foster Mom’s lap is my favorite spot and where I require plenty of quality time? I adore playing with the other small dogs in my foster home, and I get along great with the resident cats and with kids. My size makes me an ideal apartment dog, but I relish my daily exercise. Nothing makes me happier than for Foster Mom to invest her time and energy into treating me like a big dog. I make it easy for her because, young as I am, I’m learning to walk on a leash and am crate-trained. True confessions: I’m still working on getting housebroken. I was found wandering the mean streets of Houston. Thank heavens a Good Samaritan scooped me up because I was much too small and young to fend for myself. I was so grateful to be welcomed into my foster home, but I’m now ready to bring my adorable puppy perkiness and loving personality to my forever home. Could that be with you? Then arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave itsy-bitsy paw prints all over your heart. HOPE ID D25-1227-0057 Pablo’s $200 adoption fee includes spay/neuter, basic vaccines, microchip and registration, testing for heartworms, negative fecal test, and preventative treatment for heartworms and fleas.

LOVES TO CUDDLE WITH HIS HOOMANS  DOB 5/25/23, weight 12.5 pounds Hey there, everyone! I’m Polo, and I’m a sweet, friendly, and affectionate tricolor Chihuahua mix fella who has the cutest white blaze on my forehead! I do best with lots of close family contact. Wouldn’t you know that cuddling in Foster Mom’s lap is my favorite spot and where I require plenty of quality time? I adore playing with the small dogs in my foster home, and I get along great with the resident cats and with kids. My size makes me an ideal apartment dog, but I relish my daily exercise. Nothing makes me happier than for Foster Mom to invest her time and energy into treating me like a big dog. I make it easy for her because I already walk well on a leash. True confessions: I’m still working on getting housebroken and kennel-trained. I was found with my best friend Paco on the side of the highway. If we were “dumped,” I’ll never tell! Thank heavens a Good Samaritan stopped and scooped us up because I’m much too small to fend for myself. I was so grateful to be welcomed into my foster home, but I’m now ready to bring my high cuteness factor and loving personality to my forever home. Could that be with you? Then arrange to meet me today! I promise to leave itsy-bitsy paw prints all over your heart. Although we’re available separately, Paco and I think it’d be the cat’s meow if we were adopted together. Two’s better than one, and we could keep each other company while you’re at work or on vacation.
