Story

'Jack' Chihuahua male-6 yrs old, 7 lbsJack is a 7-lb, 6 yr old one-eyed Velcro pup who loves nothing more than snuggling under the covers with his person. When he came to us, Jack had been hit by a car and needed his eye removed and his fractured jaw repaired — but he has healed beautifully and is all heart. He’s sweet, sensitive, and settles after a little crying when left alone. Jack does great with small dogs but is not a fan of big dogs. He seems comfortable with kids and men; cats are unknown. He enjoys sunbathing, window-watching, and is still learning how to play with toys. Jack is potty trained but may always need a belly band due to periodic marking. He’s looking for a patient home that wants a loyal, cuddly shadow by their side. If you want a tiny companion with a huge heart, Jack is your guy! 6 yrs old - 7 lbsOur adoption fee through our rescue covers the dog being fully vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered, dewormed and flea treated.

Story

'Sammy' Chihuahua/Dachshund X-male-4 months old, 9 lbsAre you ready to welcome an intelligent, lively, loving puppy into your home? Meet Sammy! This 10-pound 4-month-old pup is full of personality and looking for a family to call his own. He’s an adventurer who loves to play and explore, and he’s sure to bring love and laughter into your home. Sammy’s mom is a sweet, highly intelligent Chihuahua-Dachshund mix weighing 14 lbs, but his dad is a mystery and most likely bigger than Sammy’s mom. Sammy is smart, and full of energy making him a great candidate for agility training. His ideal home would be a place with a good sized, securely fenced yard where he can burn off some of his puppy energy. He would also do well with a family that has time to spend with him whether it’s playing, learning tricks, or cuddling on the couch. If you’re looking for a clever, energetic companion that you are looking forward to spending time with, Sammy is your guy!

Story

'RESCUED' (PUPPIES x8 ) at 9 weeks old BORN 5/03/25There are a mix of females and males ( 6 males and 2 females) We rescued the momma dog with her 3 day old puppies on 5/6/25. Momma is a Chiweenie but no idea what the father(s) were! Looks like maybe some spaniel though. So it is a mystery on how they will turn out :) 'Hello, I am a young and curious puppy with a lot of love to give! I am very affectionate and love to cuddle up with my human friends. I am also very friendly. I am a very playful and funny and love to make my human friends laugh. I am also a smart puppy and I am highly trainable. I was rescued along with my mommy and brothers and sisters when I was just 3 days old, My eyes were not even open yet! My momma is a 13 lb Chiweenie. But I don't know what or who my daddy was. So I am a mix of different breeds, and I am sure I will grow up to be a a super doggy. I am just 9 weeks old, so I am still a baby and have a lot of energy. I would love to go to a forever home where I can get a lot of love and attention. If you are looking for a fun and furry addition to your family, look no further! I am sure that I would be the perfect fit. Please consider adopting me, and giving me a forever home filled with love.' They are now ready to go.

Story

'Gigi' Chihuahua, female-10 lbs, 4 yrs oldMeet Gigi! Gigi is a 4-year-old, 10-lb sweetheart who’s the perfect mix of cuddly companion and easygoing sidekick. She loves relaxing next to her person, going for car rides, taking walks, and soaking up all the love she can get. After coming from a home with many dogs, she’s ready for a life where she can finally be the center of someone’s attention—so she’d thrive as the only dog. Gigi isn’t a yappy girl, but she’ll happily announce a passerby with a friendly window bark. She’s social with adults, respectful, and enjoys people who respect her boundaries. She has no separation anxiety and is content to nap while you’re out, greeting you joyfully when you return. She enjoys soft toys, small bones, and treats (“cookies!”), and isn’t destructive aside from occasionally de-stuffing a plushie. She eats kibble and Ollie fresh food without fuss, and she even loves being pampered—baths, brushing, little dresses, all of it. Gigi would be the perfect match for someone wanting a quiet, loyal little shadow who sleeps in the bed, stays by your side, and blossoms with affection and quality time. She’s ready for her forever home and deserves the very best. Our adoption fee through our rescue covers the dog being fully vaccinated, micro-chipped and spayed/neutered, dewormed and flea treated.

Kona

Belgian Malinois

Female, Senior

Imperial Beach, CA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We have had Kona since she was 5 months old. She is now 9 yrs old. She is a sweet girl but in her old age has recently become aggressive with our second dog. We now have two small children and are unable to keep her with the potential safety risk she imposes for them. It breaks our heart to see her have to be rehomed in her old age but for her safety, the safety of our other dog and most importantly our children- this is what is best for Kona. Kona’s ideal home would be without other dogs or children. She is great with small animals (birds, cats, fish, chickens etc.) we have had all of these animals throughout her lifetime and she has done very well. Kona is bike trained and loves to go on bike rides, long walks, hikes and the beach. Her favorite toys are a tennis ball and Frisbee. She is still very active in her old age and would do well with someone who enjoys the outdoors but also likes to cuddle in the evenings. She’s primarily indoors overnight but can be outside during the day.

Story

'Sonny' Chihuahua/Dachshund X-male-4 months old, 9 lbsMeet Sonny, a sweet and gentle 4-month-old boy with a big heart and soulful, expressive eyes. Sonny is a total lovebug who adores being cuddled and played with. He is mellow and loving. Weighing 9 pounds, he loves people and would be a wonderful companion for another small to medium-sized dog. Sonny’s mom is a well dispositioned highly intelligent 14-pound Chihuahua-Dachshund mix. We don’t know his dad’s breed but he was likely a larger dog than mom. So Sonny may grow bit more. Sonny is eager to learn and will thrive in a home with people who are committed to training him with patience and love. His ideal environment would include a secure yard where he can run, play and burn off puppy energy. If you’re looking for a loyal, loving, intelligent companion, Sonny is waiting to meet you!
