Story
Hi, I'm Churro Pup, a two-year-old Chihuahua who's small, sweet, and just a little bit reserved around the edges-kind of like a fresh churro that needs a moment to cool before you take a bite. I prefer a calm pace and gentle introductions, but once I feel safe, I'm happy to quietly hang out and soak up the comfort of a cozy space. I'm more of a sniff-and-observe kind of guy than a party pup, and I appreciate people who let me warm up on my own schedule. If you're looking for a low-key companion with a soft soul and a name that's already sugar-coated, I might just be the Churro Pup your home has been missing.*Qualifies for Pets for Patriots programPlease email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: White Weight: 11.4375 Age: 2yrs 0mths 1wks

Story
Howdy, I'm Colonel Sanders! I don't come with a secret recipe, but I do serve up premium vibes with a side of stoic charm. I'm an independent kind of guy who prefers a calm household where I can marinate in peace and get comfy at my own pace, and I actually do pretty well with other dogs too-so I'm open to a friendly kennel-mate. I might seem distracted, but I'm quietly curious and very polite about being handled. Give me gentle guidance, steady routines, and positive reinforcement, and you'll see me really start to sizzle as a loyal companion. With patience, you'll find I'm worth every drumstick of effort."Please email Adoptions@saltlakecounty.gov with questions.

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Ima a Yoshi (Yoshi)! Ima a Yoshi—or just Yoshi to his friends—is a brave, resilient little guy with a heart of gold. At 2.5 years old and a sturdy 12–13 pounds, this full-grown Chihuahua is the perfect size for any adventure! His Story Yoshi returned from a harrowing three-week "solo adventure" after being lost. While we are so grateful he’s back safe, his time fending for himself has changed his outlook on feline friends. We suspect he may have had a few tough run-ins with aggressive cats while he was away. As a result, Yoshi has officially retired from the "cat-friend" business and will chase. Why Yoshi is the Best Companion: Expert Traveler: Yoshi is a dream in the car and absolutely loves going for rides. Whether it’s a trip to the store or a weekend getaway, he’s ready to be your co-pilot! Walk Enthusiast: He loves to get out and explore the world on his leash. House Trained: He’s a true gentleman indoors and knows the ropes of a home. Devoted & Loyal: After being lost for so long, he truly appreciates the comfort of a warm lap and the love of his humans. The Perfect Match Yoshi is looking for a strictly feline-free home. He wants to be your one-and-only star and doesn't want to worry about any cats in his personal space. In return, he promises to be the most loyal, loving, and spunky companion you’ve ever met. Ready to bring Yoshi home? Yoshi is available through Rescue Rover Dog Adoption. Fill out an application today to meet this resilient little survivor!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi! I’m Bullet Rogan and I want to be your new best friend! I am a 5 year old, 13lb chihuahua mix. Of course we can’t know for sure what my exact breed is, but we’re pretty sure that pug is a pretty big part of the equation! Just look at my cute underbite! I love all the things, but mostly I love to follow you from room to room. And next best I love to play catch me if you can! So I’ll follow, follow, follow…and then when you try to pick me up, it’s a fun game! I’m a happy boy. I think most everything is fun! I love my dog friends and my toys, too! You’ll know I’m a happy guy because I will wag my bum. Yes, I have a tail and I suppose that’s what’s really wagging, but my whole bum likes to get in on the action. Foster mom says I’m 100% wiggle butt! I am good in my crate, good in the car and good on leash. I’m pretty darn close to housetrained, too! I haven’t had any accidents in my foster home, but some of that may be because foster mom is pretty good at making sure dogs don’t potty inside. With a good schedule and some reminders, I should be no trouble to potty train! Last thing we should mention about me. When I came to the shelter I had several gashes that needed to be doctored up. I’m all healed now! But at the sheltr I did get a little nippy. Probably because I was scared and hurting. Since I came to my foster home I’ve been very sweet and gentle with no problems! If you think I could be the cute boy for you, apply to meet me today at  https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 29, 2025, 4:21 pm

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hello everyone!  My name is Reggy!  I'm about a year old and fully grown at 15 lbs.  As you can tell from my pictures, I'm a handsome dude with a brindle coat.  I enjoy running around in the backyard, snuggling, eating treats and being cute!  I can be a little shy when I meet new people, but if you give me some pets I'll be your best buddy in no time!  I'm still mastering potty training, and should be fully trained soon.  I also sleep quietly in my crate all night.  I've loved all the dogs I've met so far, haven't met a cat yet, but I think I'd like to think I'd be nice to them.  I'd love to have a buddy to play with in my forever home but it's not absolutely necessary.  Apply here to meet me  https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.January 13, 2026, 3:44 pm

Hi, I'm Lolah, and I'm quite possibly the sweetest little girl you'll ever meet!  I'm a year old chihuahua mix and fully grown at 11 lbs.  I'm a little bony and could stand to gain a little weight, though.  I'm pretty shy when I meet new people.  I've liked everyone I've met, just need a slower introduction.  I'd love to have a dog sibling in my forever home.  One that can teach me the ropes and help me gain some confidence. Do you think I could be the girl for you?
