Story
Looking for a tiny shadow who believes every stranger is just a best friend she hasn’t met yet? Dreaming of a purse-perfect companion whose only career goal is a full-time position with 100% lap benefits? Let me introduce you to your girl, Pine Cone. Pine Cone is a pint sized sweetheart who takes her lap dog responsibilities so sincerely seriously, you’ll start to wonder how you ever watched TV without a tiny, warm bestie tucked perfectly into your lap. She doesn’t just cuddle, she commits! You truly have to see this girl in motion to believe the cuteness.  https://youtu.be/A7OjTe14ogY With her dainty looks and charming personality, we’re pretty convinced she’s a Chihuahua mix. Of course, as with most rescues, we can’t guarantee breed or age, but we can guarantee the stats on her adorableness. Ready for this? Pine Cone weighs a mighty… 9 whole pounds. Small body, enormous heart. Currently waiting for her forever home, Pine Cone has proven herself to be an absolute rockstar in every social setting. She’s wonderfully respectful and kid-approved, handling time with little humans with a gentle, sweet spirit that makes everyone feel at ease. She’s also a crate champ! While she might offer the tiniest whine just to let you know she’d prefer extra cuddles, she settles into her routine like a pro and is always ready to load up for her next car ride adventure. When it comes to other dogs, Pine Cone is a dream companion. She’s a friendly greeter and enthusiastic player who can hold her own with big dogs or adjust her play style for smaller friends. She’d do best with a medium energy canine buddy, someone who enjoys playtime but also appreciates winding down for a good snuggle session. Got a feline ruler at home? Pine Cone says no problem. She’s met a resident cat and respectfully gave him space, showing all the signs of being a polite roommate for a dog-savvy kitty. As always, we recommend a “sleepover” trial to make sure everyone agrees on the living arrangements. Pine Cone is the ultimate anywhere dog. Thanks to her compact size and polite manners, she’d thrive just as easily in a chic city apartment as she would in a home with a big fenced yard. Her only real requirement? A lap to land in at the end of the day and a family who appreciates her big personality packed into that tiny frame. She’s small enough to travel with you… and spunky enough to keep life exciting wherever you go. If your home and your lap are ready for Pine Cone, she’s ready to meet you! Questions?

Story
Sammy Sweets Supreme is a tiny gentleman with a soft little heart and a deep appreciation for snacks. Looks wise, between the ears and the long legs, you would be hard pressed to get someone not to use the word cute to describe him. Don’t want to read about him? Well lucky you, you can see his treat-loving cuteness in action? Head to YouTube then come right back to fall even more in love. https://youtu.be/64yz6brwVqs Sammy is an estimated 9-year-old, 11-lb likely Chihuahua/Terrier mix (rescue rules apply, so we can’t guarantee breed or birthday). What we can guarantee- he brings a peaceful and loving energy and has us absolutely positive that 9 years in small dogs converts to about 3 years old in the dog world in general. Science! In his foster home, Sammy lives with a whole variety pack of dog friends, all ages and sizes, and he’s doing wonderfully. He is perfectly content with other dogs and polite meeting new dogs but is into chiling more than playing with his doggie friends. He doesnt even mind sharing treats or his bed. He also did great with our house cat, giving a quick sniff and then carrying on with his day. No drama, no fuss, just peaceful coexistence. He’s also fully house trained and crate trained, which is basically the small-dog equivalent of showing up with all the experience needed to get the job and do it well! He may start out a bit shy, the polite type who prefers a gentle introduction, but give him a minute and a treat or two and you’ll watch him bloom into the coziest couch companion you could ask for. He isn’t here for chaos, only comfort. Sammy is wonderfully treat motivated. Truly. If there were a Treat Olympics, he would at least make the finals. Snacks are the bridge to his heart and the shortcut to earning his trust. Once you are officially “his person,” he settles into full affection mode, transforming into a devoted little couch potato who is happiest tucked beside you like a warm, breathing throw pillow. On leash, Sammy says “meh.” To put it simply, he isn’t interested in racking up the steps, not even because he cant, simply, why not be carried? He would love someone who doesn’t need a long-haul walking buddy and doesnt mind scooping him up and carrying him when needed. Think of him as a pocket prince who appreciates being chauffeured. A calm, chill home is exactly his speed. Sammy would truly thrive in a quiet home with someone who understands that older Chihuahuas are a treasure. He needs a little time to warm up, a steady routine, and someone who delights in spoiling a tiny senior who will repay that love tenfold. If you have a soft blanket, a gentle voice, and a few treats in your pocket, Sammy is ready to make your couch his kingdom and your heart his forever home. Apply today and let this sweet old soul settle in right beside you. Apply here: https://adopt.animalsfirst.com/animal/62cc8e128b02916730334440/698d03364a782f82d6058b4a Questions?

Story
Toto is a tiny senior with absolute Silver Fox, main character energy. This boy is a perfect gentleman with a confident, vibrant presence,the cutest wirey coat and ears that have never missed a beat. Want to watch Toto charm in action? Head to YouTube for “Toto | Tiny Senior, Big Confidence” and then come back to read more. Toto is an estimated 9-year-old, 11-lb likely Chihuahua/Terrier mix (rescue rules apply, so we can’t guarantee breed or birthday). What we can guarantee: he’s bringing a joyful, self-assured vibe that’s easy to love and has us absolutely positive that 9 years in small dogs converts to about 3 years old. Science! In his foster home, Toto lives with a whole variety pack of dog friends, all ages and sizes, and he’s doing wonderfully. He’s also fully house trained and crate trained, which is basically the small-dog equivalent of showing up with a fresh new tie, a résumé and references. He is kid-approved, too! Toto met Kobe (age 5) and clicked immediately, totally unbothered by his Spiderman moves and his extreme off-the-couch jumps. If your household includes little humans with big imaginations, Toto’s like, “Cool. Dibs on the front row seat!” When Toto met two big dogs, he handled it like a pro. If they got in his space, he gave a very appropriate “hey, that’s close enough” warning and then carried on calmly. No big feelings, no drama. Just good boundaries from a tiny gentleman to a big bully. With our house cat, Toto was again a perfect gentleman. Granted the cat was bigger than him but he approached respectfully and then wandered off. Whether he was uninterested of playing it cool while fearing for his life, we wouldn't know the difference. Everything about him tells us he would likely do just fine joining a home with a cat though he isn’t looking to be a cats new bestie. Bonus, this is a mild chihuahua- no spice with people at all! He is great meeting with people and leads with a friendly welcoming energy and he doesnt mind being picked up which is an A+ for any small dog lover! All of that and the fact that he is low-key and easy on leash means he si a great candidate for house with a yard or apartment life. If you’re looking for a small companion who’s confident, house-trained, friendly, and still has plenty of pep in his step, Toto is ready to move in and help make life so much more charming!
