Story
Meet Chili, a gentle 4-year-old Chihuahua mix with a fondness for comfort. At 13 pounds, she is a well-mannered companion who walks nicely on a leash, travels well in the car, and appreciates a quiet home.Chili enjoys being near her people and is very obedient. She can be initially shy, especially around men, and would thrive in a patient, calm home. She gets along wonderfully with other small dogs and is playfully curious about cats, though her feelings on larger dogs are unknown. A home with older children would be best.She is house-trained and well-behaved when left alone. While she’s still learning to be a cuddler with humans, she loves to burrow under blankets and will politely ask for your help to get settled. Please carry her like a baby, as she does not like her belly touched. Her favorite things include a secure yard, a good marrow bone, and a soft sofa—though she will firmly object to the sight of a broom or mop.Chili is a sweet and sensitive soul waiting for a loving, understanding family to offer her a forever spot in their home and heart.Chili is located in Houston, TX. Transport to most states is available for an additional fee of $300.

Story
Meet Paco — the pint-sized adventurer with the floppiest ears, a heart full of love, and the sweetest little smile you’ve ever seen! 🌞 This tiny chihuahua-terrier mix (your guess is as good as ours — rescue magic at its finest!) is about 2 years young and ready to find his forever person. He’s got this perfect tan-red coat that practically glows in the sunshine, and eyes so big and brown they could melt a popsicle in January. Paco may be small, but his personality has layers like a fancy little dog burrito — soft, spicy, and a little shy at first taste. He’s the kind of boy who takes his time to trust new people, but once he does? He’s your best buddy, loyal nap partner, and possibly your personal shadow. He’s incredibly sweet with his foster parents and just needs someone patient enough to let him open up on his own timeline. Watch Paco swim, run, and play in his video! https://youtu.be/qFgaypcolVw?si=PEJbzdl6SNG8mebe He currently lives with three foster dog siblings who he absolutely adores! They go on road trips, vacations, and adventures together — from zooming around the yard to swimming in beautiful spots (yes, this little guy swims!). With other dogs, he’s gentle and polite, preferring to observe before joining the fun. Once he’s comfortable, he’ll do cute little runs and play sessions, but he’s not a roughhouser. Paco would do best with a low to medium-energy dog friend who will let him come around naturally — no pushy pups, please! When it comes to cats, Paco is what we’d call “cat curious but cautious.” He met a calm kitty named Biggie and did great — a little nervous, but respectful and tolerant. A chill, dog-savvy cat who doesn’t mind a nervous little dog would be perfectly fine for him. As for kids, Paco hasn’t been officially kid-tested yet, but given how shy he can be, he’d probably prefer a calm, adult home or one with older, dog-savvy teens who understand that good things (and tail wags) take time. This little man is not cut out for apartment living — he’s more of a “quiet home with a yard” type of guy. New noises, fast movements, and big groups of people can overwhelm him. He’ll thrive in a peaceful home with gentle routines, understanding humans, and maybe a friendly dog to help show him the ropes. Paco is still learning that the world isn’t so scary — and with patience, kindness, and a sprinkle of humor, you’ll see his shy side melt away into the most loving, loyal little companion. Once his tail comes up and that tiny smile shows, it’s over for you. You’ll be in love. 💛 Paco’s dream home? Somewhere calm, cozy, and full of love. Someone who doesn’t mind going slow at first but can imagine the joy of watching a timid rescue bloom into his goofy, snuggly, happy self. Because once you earn Paco’s trust — it’s forever.

Story
This cutie is Peanut Chi. He is around 4 months old and under 9 lbs. We think he may be a *Chihuahua Mix*, but with rescue it’s a guess! What matters most is that he is adorable and from one of the MOST desperate areas in the entire US based on statistics. Shelters in this area are having to euthanize puppies. So, this puppy needs you! If you choose a puppy from us, it saves their life as well as the life of another. Peanut has been in a loving foster home since he was under a week old, growing up alongside his mom, siblings, resident adult dogs, and rotating foster dogs of all breeds and sizes. Thanks to that early and consistent socialization, Peanut is wonderfully well-adjusted and truly does amazing with everyone he meets. He’s a neighborhood favorite with adults, kids, and dogs alike. Peanut is currently working on his leash skills... he’s still deciding how he feels about it but his confidence shines in other ways. He loves playing chase in the yard with his humans and happily tries to join in on the big dogs’ playtime (while smartly knowing wrestling with 60-lb friends is not his lane). After playtime, Peanut is happiest curling up for a nap on his foster mom’s feet or in her lap while she works, content just being close and part of the day. He’s also working on potty training. Because he has access to water around the clock, he needs nighttime potty breaks. When his foster parents are away, Peanut does great relaxing in a pen with his toys and a pee pad, a setup that keeps him safe and sets him up for success as he continues to grow and learn. Peanut’s days are happily simple and full of companionship. His foster parents work from home, so he’s always surrounded by people and dogs. He starts his mornings by heading straight outside, then comes in for breakfast before settling in with his foster mom to play with toys and “help” with morning chores by chasing her around the house. The rest of the day follows a perfect puppy rhythm: play, eat, sleep... and repeat! With Texas weather being unpredictable, Peanut has built quite the wardrobe and is very agreeable about getting dressed. He’s a total sweetheart who loves to snuggle into the crook of his foster mom’s neck and give the softest kisses. Like any puppy, Peanut is still learning his manners and may occasionally chew on fingers or toes, but he’s easily redirected with a toy. He’s very social and thrives on companionship, so he would do best in a home that offers plenty of interaction, ideally with another friendly dog and access to a safe outdoor space where he can explore, play, and soak up the sun. Peanut is still very young and will need a family that can commit to training, socialization and all the dedication puppyhood requires. A puppy is discovering new things that shape their personalities with each passing day. Implementing routine, structure, setting boundaries, and proper socialization is key from the start. We require a commitment from adoptive families to crate train their new puppy starting immediately when arriving at their new home, which will help with potty training, energy management, and the overall development of a well-rounded adult dog. You will be guaranteed to get lots of kisses in return from your new best friend! Ready to welcome a new furry friend into your life?

What rhymes with cute? Scoot! Of course it does because Snoot sure is cute! This little guy showed up and honestly ran off with my whole heart! From the moment I picked him up and he melted into my arms, I knew he was going to be a special one and that he was. Watch Scoot's loving personality here: https://youtu.be/dvRBpbWjY7s Scoot is currently 8 months old. We suspect he may be a Chihuahua / Terrier mix, but with rescue it’s a guess! He has little legs, a long body, and a perfectly curled tail so he could be a whole bunch of things. Whatever his breed is, he loves people, is gentle and affectionate with a calm presence. Scoot is living in a foster home and has met a variety of dogs though he is most comfortable with a friend who is similarly sized to him. Because he is growing and changing we anticipate he could be comfortable with any size dog though he would prefer a more peaceful home to match his energy. It is easy to see Scoot being someones adoring lap dog. He absolutely glows when you sweet talk him and melts at the chance to curl up next to you for a belly rub or just being close. He has a gentle mouth, taking treats softly and giving the sweetest little kisses. I will think about him lovingly well into the future, he just really touched my heart. We pride ourselves in being able to give you good personality and behavioral information to help ensure this baby is the right fit for you. You are also welcome to do a Facetime call to meet your new baby before signing paperwork! Scoot is from one of the MOST desperate areas in the entire US, based on statistics.

Story
If you want to be adored, to always have a lap-warmer, and experience no shortage of love, meet Miska. She is a dream dog! Small and devoted…Meet Miska! At just 24 lbs and around 2 years old, this petite chihuahua-mix girl is a tender-hearted sweetheart with a long body, short legs, and a whole lot of love to give. (She is a rescue so no guarantee on breed or birthday.) Take a look at her sweet, lap-loving nature here- https://youtu.be/na32Pl5YbvE Miska is fostered in a loving home and her fosters affectionately call her a “total love-bug” because all she wants is closeness, your affection, and a soft place to snuggle. She bonds beautifully with her people and will happily curl up for cuddles any chance she gets. Plus, she is house and crate trained! Miska is naturally on the softer, shyer side when it comes to other animals. She doesn’t need to be an only dog but boy oh boy would she love it! When meeting new dogs its easy to see she is a bit uncomfortable, like watching a stranger strike up a conversation with your socially awkward best friend- kind of awkward. She isn’t into the idea of fast-tracking friendship with new dogs and prefers a co-existing approach over a full-court press approach to saying hello. In other words, the pushy dogs are not for her. She handles herself with grace and is most relaxed with her people nearby and her dog-friends relaxed and easy-going. She isn’t really a “let’s play!” dog- she’s a “hold me, love me, and let’s just be together” dog. For that reason, she would thrive either as the only dog, soaking up all the attention or in a home with a calm, aloof dog who can respects her space and wont rush their connection. The story was pretty much the same when she met our house cat. She was timid meeting him but did not try to chase and instead preferred hiding with her person for comfort. She may be able to coexist with one calm cat who won’t pester her, but a slow intro and patience will be key. What Does Miska Love Most? • Being in a lap • Being held by her people • A peaceful home • Easy-paced walks • A routine complete with love and trust When she is a bit uncertain, she’ll hop up to check- in and she is no doubt built with a deep loyalty and an incredibly sweet personality. Miska is a perfect match for someone looking for a tiny best friend, not a playmate for other pets. She loves meeting new adults and warms up beautifully with gentle people.
