Story

Meet a sweet, spirited Chiweenie looking for a fresh start. She’s affectionate, expressive, and full of personality — a soulful little dog who loves indoor snuggles, outdoor adventures, and bursts of playful energy. She’s also content to relax and enjoy quiet time. Her one challenge: she’s not house trained. This will require patience and a setup that can accommodate accidents. She’s not a fit for someone expecting a perfectly behaved pup, but she could thrive with someone experienced in rescue or willing to work with her quirks. If you’re looking for a loving companion and are open to helping her grow, she’ll reward you with loyalty, laughter, and lots of heart.

Charles

German Shepherd Dog Husky

Male, Adult

Berkeley, CA

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Details

House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I hope to find a home that can accommodate his love for walks and adventure while also giving him space indoors to snooze the day away. A home with a yard for zoomies is a plus. Charles hasn’t had much experience with other animals or kids but he is very enthusiastic about meeting new people. He would need some training to know to be gentle with his excitement. I think he would do well in a home with older kids (10+) and big dogs. Small dogs don’t like him. He is used to getting groomed on a regular basis and will let you brush his teeth, grind his nails, and bathe and de-shed him. Charles can stay home alone without being destructive and is used to routine. He does not like small spaces, especially car rides. Maybe a little training and a bigger car can change that. Some leash training would benefit him as he does pull, especially when walking in a new environment. Commands he knows: Sit, Paw, Lie Down, On Your Bed, Wait, Stay, (bringing his bowl to you after eating), and more!

Story

This is Teddy, his is almost six years old and is a chihuahua mix. We got him in 2020 right after Covid and he is a bit of a Covid dog and unfortunately is unsocialized. My family and I have a very busy schedule so we not able to take him to dog parks as much as we would like to and that led to him having some behavioral and barking problems. He’s a sweet boy once he meets you but he does bark. We unfortunately didn’t have the funds to send him to behavior camp. We just moved and unfortunately neighbors are complaining about his barking. I’m very sad to have to give him away but i have no other choice. Please take good care of him. Thank you
