Story
Meet Donnie!He is a sweet senior Chihuahua boy looking for a home. He may be in his golden years, but he also has a heart of gold with so much love to give.He is 10+ years old but very spry and has a good amount of energy but also loves to cuddle up with you on the couch. He was abandoned by the side of the road with his best buddy Emmett. Unfortunately due to years of neglect his best friend succumbed to his health problems. Despite everything he has been through, Donnie still loves people.I strongly feel that Donnie would be happiest in a home with another dog. He has shown since the loss of his best friend that he feels much better when he is with my pups.He is being fostered by me and I am completely in love with him. Only the best will do for Donnie because that is absolutely what he deserves. He is neutered and will be up to date on vaccines and microchipped at time of adoption. For more information you can contact me.

Story
Cooper is 3 years old and loves to play outside or lay in the sun. He’s been around kids since we got him 3 years ago and is a great snuggler. He’s an inside dog but would make a great outside dog as well provided you have plenty of room for him to run and roam. He walks on a leash well and is potty trained. He’s great with other dogs and love to go on side by side and boat rides. Our schedule has just gotten busier and busier and we don’t have the time to give him the attention he deserves right now
