Story
Penny is a love! She is a Chug (Pug and Chihuahua) and she looks more like a Pug. She is a goof ball, and keeps me laughing. She is in her happy place curled up next to someone. She cuddles in the bed all night long.Her age is estimated to be 8 months now. I acquired her July 11 and she was approximately 6 months old then. She came from a Rescue in Fresno, California. But there is a lot of puppy in her. It takes patience at times but mostly is just a darling little dog. —She will chew on things but does well with her toys. —She is not completely potty trained but we are working on it. She uses pee pads at night one thing about Penny is that she hates her feet being touched. Getting her nails trimmed is an unhappy ordeal for herPenny is a sweetheart puppy who loves people and other dogs. She loves to play with other dogs at the dog park but doesn’t like sharing her human with others. She fights with our older dog, mainly over jealousies over attention from her family members.

Howdy! I'm Pepper, and I'm (we think) some sort of husky mix! I love playing with toys or getting scratches from my people. I am potty trained and I am also a very sweet, lovable boy! I get a long with other dogs. I currently live in Pendleton, OR but they said that they an deliver me to any kind adopter that wishes to take me near Portland and surrounding areas!

Story
Penny is a a love bug. A happy, curious, FRIENDLY, playful, active little dog who is part Pug and part Chihuahua. She is approximately 7-8 months old. She looks more like a Pug. She loves everyone.She is spayed, up to date on her shots, is chipped, and checked out as healthy by the vet.This little lady will keep you in stitches with her goofy antics. She is working on potty training but isn’t there yet although she does well with the pee pads at night.The biggest problem with Penny is that she absolutely cannot stand her feet being touched, making nail trims difficult.Other than that, Penny is our love and excited about everything in her world.

Story
I al located in the Portland, Iregon area. Looking for a new home for this sweet girl. She is a pug/chihuahua mix and is about 8 months old. She’s a love but she doesn’t get along with my older dog. I have cats and she gets along with them but doesn’t understand that they don’t want to play with her. My cats are pretty tolerant so I don’t know how she would be around other cats. She has been around my grandchildren (ages 3 and 12) and she dies very well around them. She does good with pee pads and we are working on potty training. This pup is friendly and absolutely loves people.

Story
FOSTER HOME FOUND! BIG SWEET BOY, very docile and sweet Carmen fna Tyson who was adopted from SSDR 2.5 yrs ago beginning on Sat Aug 29th! Carmen is great with other animals and people and he's now a bit over 3 yrs old. His owner has fallen on hard times and is getting evicted from his apt. He lost his job....very sad indeed. And yes, he's 100 lbs! According to his former owner he's been overfed the past 7 months and gained 30 lbs so he'll need to trim down to an ideal weight of around 70lbs. Let us know if you can help out!Go to Streetsavvydogrescue DOT ORGFoster application Street Savvy Dog Rescue #fostercare #rescuedogsarethebestdogs #fosterdoglife #supportnonprofits #rescuedismyfavoritebreed #streetsavvydogrescuematchingdogstohumanssince2014 #fosteringsaveslives #rescuedog #fosterdog #texasrescuedogs #muttsofinstagram #bigdog Please visit our website www.streetsavvydogrescue.org to learn more about this amazing pet and to see other available dogs.
