Story
Daphne is a 4 year old, 17 pounds, Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love just waiting to be shared! When Daphne first came to us, she was so afraid of people and didn’t want anyone to touch her. But look at her now! This sweet girl has blossomed into the most loving little companion. While she patiently waits for her forever home, she’s completely fallen in love with her foster mom! She follows her everywhere like a tiny shadow and would happily spend all day cuddling close. She is not quite ready to walk on a leash yet but with lots of love, patience and her own person by her side she will get there very soon. It’s amazing what a little patience, kindness, and love can do! Daphne is proof that even the most frightened hearts can learn to trust and love again. Now, all she needs is a family of her very own to love her forever. Could that be you? Adoption Process Application Submission Start by completing our adoption application on our website.

Story
Mr A aka Atticus 17 pounds of Little Love Waiting to Feel Safe Sweet Mr A is about a year and a half old , weighs just 17 pounds, and is a Chihuahua mix with a very tender, timid little heart. Rescued from a high-kill shelter, waiting for the person who will change his world. His foster family has surrounded him with love, cuddles, patience, and kindness. But poor Mr A is still so scared. Instead of feeling comforted, his little eyes still show fear, and he spends much of his time hiding. We can only imagine what this little boy has been through. No pressure. No expectations. Just safety, routine, kindness, and the chance to learn that the world can be a good place. Mr A may not be ready to shower you with kisses or curl up in your lap just yet. But he deserves the chance to feel safe enough to discover who he can be. Adoption Process Application Submission Start by completing our adoption application on our website.

Story
Meet Pawcasso! Pawcasso is a 2-year-old, 19 lb Chihuahua mix. He is making progress, but it is a very slow journey, and he is still very timid and not ready to be touched or petted much just yet. Pawcasso lives on his own timeline, but his wonderful personality is shining through: • He is fully potty trained! He goes outside whenever he needs to do his business and comes right back inside. • He will occasionally come out to gently take a peanut butter treat right from his foster mom’s hand. • He gets excited when his foster mom comes home and runs up with the other dogs, tail wagging! •...But as soon as the excitement settles, he runs right back behind the couch to hide with his treat. He needs a quiet, predictable home that will let him just exist without forcing affection. He absolutely loves other dogs and requires a securely fenced yard.

Crate trained? Yes. Where does the dog stay when it is alone? Currently, Dolly shares her space with other dogs, as her foster home also cares for other rescue dogs. Where does the dog sleep? Dolly sleeps in a dog bed on the floor in a designated area of her foster home. Temperament/Personality Meet Dolly! Don't let her tiny size fool you—Dolly has a big personality and an even bigger heart! This adorable little Chihuahua is full of energy, loves to play, and is always ready for her next adventure. Whether she's going for a daily walk, playing with her dog friends, or snuggling with her favorite people, Dolly makes every moment more fun. Dolly is social with other dogs and does wonderfully with children, making her a great addition to many types of families. She's also incredibly smart and learns new things quickly, so training is both fun and rewarding for her. Most of all, Dolly is as sweet as they come. Her loving personality and happy spirit have stolen the hearts of everyone she's met, and it's impossible not to fall in love with this little girl. Dolly is ready to find a forever family that will cherish her as much as she'll cherish them. Could she be the perfect little companion you've been waiting for? What does the dog's ideal home look like? Dolly's Ideal Home Dolly would be a wonderful match for almost any loving home. Whether it's a family with children, a couple, or a single person, she'll be happiest with people who want to include her in their everyday lives. Because she's an energetic little girl, Dolly would love a family that enjoys daily walks, playtime, and fun adventures together. She has a curious spirit and loves being involved in whatever her people are doing. Dolly gets along well with other dogs and would be happy to have a playful canine companion, but she would also thrive as the center of attention in a home where she can soak up all the love. Most of all, Dolly is looking for a family that will shower her with affection. She's the kind of dog who forms strong bonds with her people and will happily fill your home with love, laughter, and companionship. If you're looking for a loyal little shadow who will be by your side through every adventure, Dolly is your girl. What is the dog's rescue story? Dolly's Rescue Story Dolly was found wandering the streets of Colima, frightened, alone, and desperately searching for safety. One day, she began following a neighbor who is part of our rescue team, as if she knew she had finally found someone who could help her. It was clear that Dolly had been surviving on her own for quite some time. She was dirty, underweight, and so thin that her ribs were visible. Despite everything she had been through, she never lost her gentle, hopeful spirit. We shared her story on Facebook, hoping her family would come forward to claim her, but no one ever did. From that moment on, we made Dolly a promise: we would help her leave her life on the streets behind and find the loving forever home she truly deserves. Today, Dolly is a happy, healthy little girl whose joyful personality shines brighter every day. Now she's ready for the final chapter of her journey—a family who will love and cherish her for the rest of her life. Dolly is waiting in Mexico until a family is committed to taking her on a 10-day trial adoption. If you are interested, apply at www.northwestwagrescue.org Her adoption fee is $650 ##2853567##

Story
Your 4.5 lb pocket adventure buddy is waiting to meet you! Churro is a 5 1/2 -month-old puppy who loves to play with everything—he'll happily carry a dried leaf as his personal banner until it crumbles, with rubber toys and stuffies coming in a close second. He has great house manners and an incredible zest for life, but he's also a first-class cuddler when it's time to relax. He loves everyone, though he is not comfortable around large dogs or children under 10. Would do well with another playful small dog. (An adoption fee of $500 is required.) If you are interested in this dog, please go to the Adopt page of our website where you will find a link to an adoption application form. https://www.chewdogrescue.org/adopt If you have previously submitted an application form to CHEW, there is no need to reapply. Just let us know you're interested in this dog. We do our best to match families and dogs so everyone is pleased and the placement is permanent. We reserve the right to refuse an applicant if the home situation is incompatible with the needs of the rescue dog. Rescue is about doing our best for the dog. We do home and reference checks. All of our dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and are up to date with current vaccinations before being placed in their forever homes.
