Story

Rocky is a 3.5 years old, he is a pure-breed chihuahua. I got him as a puppy when he was 6 weeks old while visiting family in Phoenix, Az. He loves company, he loves to sit and watch you work while chewing on snacks. He gets along with my other beagle and seems to do good with other dogs at the dog park. He seems to be very friendly with children, of all ages. I have a niece and a few nephews who range from 2 years old to 9 and Rocky is very nice to them, very playful. He has been diagnosed with epilepsy at the vet about 8 months ago which he’ll get seizures about once or twice a month I’m not sure if it’s the change in his environment. He is not chipped. He has been neutered and has always been up to date with all the vaccines.

Story

Ms. Ethel came into our lives when she was five months old and she turned 1 year old on October 13, 2024. We believe she is a red heeler and lab mix. She is crate-trained and LOVES to snuggle close to you. She is high-energy and loves being outside. Her favorite games are tug-of-war and keep-away. She does well with other dogs if they are introduced to her gently. She loves to look out the window to spy on the neighbors. Unfortunately, we just do not have the space to keep her and have her run around to her heart's content, especially since we have a baby on the way. This girlie would love to snuggle up to you and watch a movie with you at the end of the day.
