Story
We took Bennie in from our daughter because she was relocating. Bennie is a very loving, loyal and sweet dog who loves to snuggle. She is your typical chihuahua who is protective (150 lb. dog in a 6 lb. body) and will always let you know when someone is at the door. She loves to lay out in the sun on warm days, and to bury her head in your chest or legs. My wife and I need to rehome Bennie because we are relocating to a community that does not allow pets. Bennie is house-trained and uses a doggie door to go outside. She is leash-trained, but about 5 minutes into a walk she wants to be carried. She will do really well in a home with no small children and no other pets, and with someone who can give her lots of love and attention.

Story
Russel was a rescue from the SPCA. It took a little time for him to trust us but he has become a very loving, affectionate family member. He loves to spend time in laps being petted. Though he is somewhat timid around strangers, he usually learns to trust quickly if the stranger is patient. Unfortunately he was not fully house trained when we got him and he has never fully taken to house training. That is our problem. We utilize belly bands to at least mostly prevent urination in the house. These are tedious to work with, but they are mostly effective. But defecation is a whole other issue. We must frequently clean up messes in the house. This seems to be largely anxious behavior when we are not with him. But it is to the point of being a burden. We are hoping somebody who has a different home situation might be willing to take on these challenges. Russel is a healthy, happy little dog that may have years more to live.

Story
I found her behind a Target near my work and took her home. She is about a year and a half old. She had a rabies vaccination in January of 2024 so she will need another one soon. We are moving in May to a residence that does not allow any pets. She just had puppies today (3/6/26), so she won’t be ready for a new home for 8 weeks. She’s a super sweet girl, very gentle and timid. She gets along with other dogs, kids, and cats. She would be an amazing dog for someone who wants a loving lap dog.

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 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!

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.
