Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Plankton is a great little three legged chihuahua. She needs a home that has someone home most of the time because she gets lonely. She's perfectly happy to sit on your lap or next to you all day every day. It takes her a little while to get used to new people, so having treats on hand helps her to get more comfortable with guests or strangers. She loves car rides and pup cups and laying in the sun. She was attacked by another dog which is how she lost her leg, due to this she doesn't like having other dogs around. She can get very protective. She's a true and loyal companion. She's ten years old and her birthday is January 16th.

Murphy is an adorable and lovable 2 year old German Shepherd mix. My husband and I are having a baby soon and sadly we cannot provide the attention and exercise that Murphy needs at this time. She is such a sweet girl, and we will miss her so much. We just want to find a loving and caring home for her. We are not asking for any adoption fees. She is great with other dogs and cats, and loves to play and run outside.

Story
Meet Noodle! Noodle is a very special little guy who was found as a stray and taken to a local shelter. Noodle is blind and has neurological issues, most likely cerebellar hypoplasia which impacts his motor skills. Despite all this Noodle loves to cruise around just as much as he loves to cuddle. Noodle needs a calm, quiet home preferably with a family that is experienced with blind dogs. Noodle will need to be fostered prior to adoption to make sure it is a good fit.

Story
Meet Chiko! Chiko is looking for a soft bed and a lap to curl up on and call his own. Chiko enoys playing with other friendly dogs, and is doing well with the cats in his foster home. Chiko needs patience with house training. He can be a little dramatic, and doesn't have the most patience for unwanted handling, so would do best with adults or calm older children. Chiko is looking for a foster or foster-to-adopt home while he waits for his dental.
