Story
Meet Jimmy — a gentle little guy with a big heart. Jimmy is about eight years old and weighs 10 pounds. While the shelter listed him as a Chihuahua mix, we suspect he may be a Chiweenie thanks to his long body and elegant legs. Jimmy is neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and heartworm negative — ready for his fresh start. 🌿 Personality & Favorite Things Jimmy absolutely loves being outdoors and going for car rides where he can look out the window and take in the world. He walks nicely on a leash and appears to be house trained, though he has occasionally tried to mark (very normal for a male dog adjusting to a new environment). He gets along well with dogs his size and enjoys toys, especially a good game of tug‑of‑war with someone he trusts. 💛 A Tender Soul Jimmy seems to have experienced some rough patches in his past, and he is understandably fearful of people at first. He needs a patient, loving home willing to give him the time and space he needs to feel safe. Because of his sensitivity, he would do best in a home without small children. Once Jimmy trusts you, he blossoms — and he’s hoping to find that special person who will help him feel secure and loved. 🏡 Ready to Meet Jimmy?

we call her Annie, she was born Nov 27, 2025. She has started She knows how to use wee wee pads, and go outside w a leash . and she is adorable and calm and sweet deserves a family of her own. She will need an experienced /patient adoptive family. I rescued several small dogs. Belle Starr , is a very petite five month old sweet girl she is indoor wee wee pad trained, she is very shy and skittish until she builds trust , she will do best when the patient adopter message me for an adoption application to be considered, has not been around kids yet, I FEEL SHE NEEDS TO BE ADOPTED TO A FAMILY WITH ANOTHER SMALL DOG FOR HER TO FOLLOW THE LEAD easier transition for her to learn the ropes . Her mom is a shih zu and dad a chiweenie. Text me your email address for an adoption application to be considered 830 237 8588 ✨ Special Adoption Opportunity – Small Chiweenie / Shih Tzu Mixes ✨ We have several of these sweet little rescue babies looking for very special adopters 💛 All of them are fully vetted, but they come from a very unique background. They spent their lives with one elderly owner (a truck driver) and had very limited interaction with the outside world. Because of this, many of them can be skittish and unsure around new people and environments. 🐾 What they’re used to: • Going in and out of a dog door • Sleeping in bed with their person • Living with other small dogs 🐾 What they need: • A patient, committed adopter who understands rescue dogs • A slow transition into their new home • Safe confinement at first (small room + wee wee pads) to build trust • Time to bond at their pace 🚫 These are NOT dogs that can be put straight into a backyard — they are flight risks and can easily get lost if scared. 💡 In my experience, they do BEST in homes that: • Already have another small, confident dog • Are willing to follow guidance and give them time to adjust • Understand that trust is earned, not forced The amazing news? ❤️ Several have already been successfully adopted by families who followed these steps — and they are now thriving in their new lives! These are what I lovingly call my “project babies” — they just need someone willing to give them a chance. If this sounds like the right fit for you, please reach out and I’ll send over an adoption application 🐶💛

Story
We are looking for a loving, stable home for our terrier chihuahua, Oscar. Oscar was adopted from a local shelter when he was about 8 months old and given the birthdate 2/14/2019. Oscar needs someone who doesn’t have young children around, and someone who is home a lot and doesn’t travel much. He has always been anxious/skiddish of guests, but he is especially fearful of men. That doesn’t mean he won’t chill out around them; it just takes a minute longer than a female. He has progressively gotten more and more temperamental over last couple years. He has nipped at almost all of our guests, but especially children who don’t know to give dogs space. He does not like people to pet him if he has not come to you and sniffed you out. We love Oscar, but our lifestyle with aging children is always on the go. He is used to walking twice a day. He has serious leash aggression, and so we walk with a buzz/beep collar so he knows to chill out.

Please go slow with me. Life hasn't always been easy so I'm timid and can get snappy when scared. That being said I'll do just about anything for treats- especially the Pupperoni ones! I like being held and will do best in a calm household.

I think I would just say that he’s a very gentle loving dog! He is 6 years old born February 8th. He loves lots of cuddles and walks. He is an indoor dog. He’s good with kids and other dogs very social. He does have a fear of thunderstorms and gets anxious at the vets and groomers. He’s been a loving companion but I’m unable to provide the life for him that he deserves especially with starting grad school in the fall .

Story
We are looking to rehome our 4 year old dog, StellaLuna. She was rescued in 2023 and had quite a bit of trauma when we found her. She was starved, so she becomes aggressive towards other dogs around food. Up until this last week, separating her and our other dog during meals had kept this behavior from growing, but Thursday evening she severely attacked our other dog without warning. Our other dog is alive, but acquired several injuries. We are also about to have another baby, and are nervous this behavior could continue towards her. She is a very loving and sweet dog to her humans, and has done wonderfully with our other 2 children (6 and 8), but as a precaution, she really needs to be in a home that does not have other animals or toddler sized children. She is fully vaccinated but not spayed. We are asking for a rehoming fee of $50 in order to assure she goes to a loving home.
