Meet Nina, the resilient and lovable terrier mix with a heart of gold! 🐾 🎂 Date of Birth: February 2017 🏡 Rescued: February 2022 Nina's journey from her rescue in February 2022 to today has been nothing short of inspiring.

Nina's initial worry has transformed into a blossoming trust in humans, and she hopefully soon will be ready to open her heart to her forever family.

However, once she warms up to you, you'll discover her playful and silly side. She's a bundle of joy who loves nothing more than a good game and some quality playtime. Rest assured, Nina is up to date on all her vaccinations and is microchipped, ensuring her safety and well-being.

Story
Meet Salsa, a resilient and spunky female Chihuahua mix, born approximately in February 2022. She was discovered in March 2023, huddled with eight other Chihuahua mixes in an abandoned movie theater. Salsa, though petite and pretty with her white coat, carries the scars of her past, making it challenging for her to trust humans fully. Salsa has undergone some rehabilitation, where our dedicated caregivers worked diligently to help her overcome her fear and anxiety. She is now ready for adoption. She has received all necessary vaccinations and has been microchipped for her safety. Salsa's journey is a testament to her resilience and the commitment of those caring for her. In time, with patience and love from her potential adopter, she hopes to find a forever home where she can blossom into the loving and trusting companion she has the potential to be.
