Story
Phoenix is an incredibly loving and loyal girl who will be turning 8 in September 2026. I’ve had her since she was just 10 weeks old, and she has truly been one of the best dogs I could ever ask for. About four years ago, we added another dog to the family, and Phoenix has done wonderfully with having a companion — she enjoys having a buddy and does great sharing her space. She is very food-motivated, loves to cuddle, and is extremely attentive to her people. Phoenix forms strong bonds and thrives on human connection and affection. She’s the kind of dog who just wants to be near you, whether that’s relaxing on the couch or following you around the house. Due to changes in my life, I’m no longer home enough to give her the time, attention, and companionship she deserves. She would do best in a home where she has people around more often and possibly another dog to play with. Letting her go is incredibly hard, but I want her to have the happy, full life she deserves.

Story
I am trying to rehome my boxer, Piper. She is about 8 years old and still very full of life. She would do best in a single person or retired couple home without young children or other pets. She is very jealous and wants to be the center of attention, preferably a man's attention. She does not do well with other dogs and has had altercations in the past with a dog in our extended family. We are sad to rehome her but she is not doing well with our growing family and we want her to be happy with a person who can dote on her. Current location is Indianapolis, IN.

Story
Atlas will be 4 years old in February 2026. I brought him home when he was just 10 weeks old, and from day one he fit right in with my other dog. He has always been incredibly gentle and affectionate — truly one of the sweetest dogs you’ll ever meet. Atlas lives for love and attention and is happiest when he’s close to his people, soaking up all the affection he can get. He does great with other dogs and enjoys having a companion to share his days with. Unfortunately, due to changes in my life, I’m no longer home enough to give my dogs the time and attention they truly deserve. Atlas would thrive in a home where he gets lots of love, companionship, and time with his people. Letting him go is heartbreaking, but my hope is to find him a home where he can be cherished the way he deserves.

Story
Piper is a big snuggle bug, loves a good nap, and tagging along on walks. She is great with adults and cats, but dogs are a no-go. She is approximately 7 years old. We have to rehome Piper because we are expecting our second child under two years old and will not be able to give her the attention she deserves. She has not been aggressive toward our baby but she has displayed body language suggesting jealousy and we are not willing to risk that with two little ones. She would be best suited to a childless couple or single person. Regardless, she is a great dog and we are sad to see her leave.

Feta Cheese

Chihuahua Shih Tzu

Male, 3 yrs 5 mos
Indianapolis, IN
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Feta Cheese was surrendered, along with his sibling Gouda, to the Muncie Animal Control shelter. Gouda got adopted, but Feta didn't. He did not do well in the shelter environment, so he came to Chihuahua Rescue. Although he was neutered in Muncie, Feta's shots were not brought up to date; we fixed that. Feta's crate training has insured his potty training! You just need to put him in a crate when he will not be supervised. He's not thrilled to go into his crate, but if you toss a small treat in there, he will go right in. He LOVES going for long walks on a leash or doing zoomies in a securely fenced backyard. He is very interested in wildlife, especially squirrels, mice, rabbits and toads. Unfortunately, he's pretty hard on them. When he's frightened, Feta can be a bit snappy so his adopter will need to go slowly in establishing a relationship with him. Once he trusts you, which happens fairly quickly, Feta's warm and snuggly. Feta is a smart dog, and he needs to be kept busy. He will find something to entertain himself if you don't provide it. He completed Beginning Obedience Class at PetSmart in December 2023; he needs continued practice to be sure he retains and improves on his lessons. In the meantime, approved chew toys for "aggressive chewers" are must (he will come with his current black Kong). While he's not a fan of big dogs, Feta gets on well with the other 5 small dogs at his foster's house, except he is concerned about his bowl at feeding time. Eating in his crate keeps that issue under control. Feta hasn't been tested with cats or children yet but should do well with older kids who can take the time to get to know him. Thanks to a donated DNA test we now know that Feta Cheese is Chihuahua 35.0%, Shih Tzu 33.6%, American Pit Bull Terrier 9.6%, Pekingese 7.8%, Boston Terrier 7.2%, Beagle 3.6%, Bloodhound 3.4% which all adds up to 100% All-American Dog!!

Story
Hi, I’m Bandit. I’m a small, big-hearted guy with a talent for fetch, lap naps, and making my person feel like the center of the universe. My vet care is all up to date (including a fresh dental cleaning), and I’m on flea and heartworm prevention so I’m ready to move right in. Here’s what I’m proud of: Housebroken & crate trained. Give me regular potty breaks and watch for my “I gotta go” signals and we’re golden. Champion snuggler. My favorite move is to curl up on your lap or gently pat your face with my paw while I rest my head on you—like a little cat-dog hybrid. Fetch pro. Toss a ball and I’m on it, then right back for another round. I do have a bit of that classic Chihuahua personality: it takes me time to warm up to new people, and until I do, I may do a little dance around strangers’ feet and even sneak in a playful ankle nip. It’s just my way of saying “I need to know you first.” With my chosen person, though, I’m pure sweetness. I’m fine with other friendly dogs, not a big eater (treats are the exception!), and happiest in a calm home where I can bond deeply. Because I thrive best close to my person, I’m available for local Indianapolis adoption only. If you’re looking for a devoted sidekick who will adore you, entertain you with fetch sessions, and nap contentedly on your lap, I’m your Bandit.
