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. HOPE ID D25-0608-0031 Polo’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. Online application: 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 Polo will be this week-end, email us at lisagilchrist16@gmail.com ,  and a volunteer will get back to you.

ALL WARM WIGGLES AND WAGS  DOB 6/29/23, weight 10 lb. Hey there, everyone! I’m Lilly, a sweet, friendly, and affectionate chestnut and black Chihuahua mix gal who became homeless when my owners were deported. My buddy Luis and I wandered around for days before a Good Samaritan rescued us from the mean streets of Houston. When I first arrived in my foster home, I was a little shy because I’m fearful of new situations. However, once I started feeling comfy here, I became all warm wiggles and wags. 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; however, the foster kittens annoy me, and the large dogs scare me. 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. Plus I’m kennel-trained. Now I’m ready to bring my happy and adoring self to bless my new forever family. 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, Luis and I love the idea of being adopted together. That way we can be playmates and cuddle buddies while you're at work or on vacation.

She might have a thin patch of fur on her back, but don’t worry, she’s working on getting her gorgeous coat back, one day at a time. When it comes to other dogs, Peg’s the queen of the playdate—she’ll join in running circles and zoomies with her besties. No pressure, no fuss. Just living her life at her own pace, and doing it fabulously.   She enjoys exploring outside.  She is also doing well with all the people at the rescue. Ready to meet the queen herself?
