Story
Six Little Souls Looking for a Fresh Start!Sometimes, love just isn't enough when the resources and ability to provide proper care aren't there. These six sweet little souls recently came to Highland Humane Society from a situation where they were loved, but their needs weren't being fully met. Now, they're facing a big change, and we're hoping to help them find the safe, loving futures they deserve.All six are Chihuahua mixes… or at least that's what we're calling them! Are they mixed with something else? Maybe! Are they actually pure Chihuahuas? Possibly! We just can't say for sure, so we're sticking with Chihuahua mixes for now. What we can tell you is that they're all small, full-grown adults, so what you see is pretty much what you get in the size department!Meet our little crew:The Girls:Appoline – 7 years old, 9 lbsChloe – 3 years old, 6.5 lbsThe Boys:Delgado – 6 years old, 16 lbsEl Diablo – 4 years old, 7 lbsPapi – 5 years old, 23 lbsPedro – 5 years old, 6 lbsA little note about Delgado and Papi: these boys are carrying a little extra love around their middles! They could both benefit from losing a significant amount of weight, likely around half their current body weight, under appropriate veterinary guidance. We'll be helping them get started on a healthier path!A Little Patience Goes a Long WayThese dogs have only been with us for a few days, and they're understandably confused, frightened, and unsure of what to think about their new surroundings. On top of the stress of leaving the only home they've known, they've already had to endure baths, nail trims, and veterinary care. That's a whole lot of change for such little dogs in such a short time!Right now, we're seeing fearful, timid pups who are still trying to figure out whether they're safe. Their true personalities haven't had a chance to shine yet, and we don't want anyone to mistake their fear for who they really are. They need time, patience, kindness, and a chance to decompress.They previously lived with an older couple and were not exposed to small children or cats in that home. Because of this, we don't know how they will do with either. Although they lived together, we also don't know how much experience they had with other dogs outside their little group.Their future families will need to understand that these pups may need time to settle in, build trust, and feel comfortable in a new environment. We're still learning about each of them, and their needs and personalities will become clearer as they begin to feel safe.All six dogs are currently unaltered and have surgery scheduled for Friday, November 13, 2026. Until their surgeries are completed, they are available through our foster-to-adopt program only.You can take one of these little dogs home now and begin helping them adjust to life outside the shelter.Adoption Fee: $250 per dogHighland Humane Society3559 State Route 136Hillsboro, OHHours:Monday–Friday: 12 PM–5 PMSaturday: 11 AM–3 PMPlease arrive at least 30 minutes before closing to allow enough time for the adoption process.Come meet these little ones and help us show them that their best days are still ahead of them!We're open Monday through Friday 12-5 pm and Saturday 11-3 pm.
