Story
Meet Pixie — a tiny dynamo with a big personality! Pixie was found by a kind 97-year-old woman, and while we don’t know how long she lived on the streets, it’s clear this little girl has already overcome a lot. Pixie tested heartworm positive after being rescued and is bravely completing her treatment, which is expected to be finished in early February. Now about 2 years old, she’s looking ahead to a brighter future in a loving forever home. Pixie is a terrier–Chihuahua mix (we think!) who brings confidence, energy, and charm wherever she goes. She’s a high-energy, alpha female who knows what she likes and isn’t afraid to show it — a true “small but mighty” kind of girl. She does well with other dogs and currently lives in her foster home with three large dogs and two other small Chihuahuas. Pixie enjoys walks, doesn’t mind car rides, and once she feels comfortable, she’s perfectly happy entertaining herself with her chew toys. Like many confident little pups, Pixie is protective of her personal space and appreciates having a safe spot of her own. Her crate is her sanctuary, and she may guard her toys — so she’ll do best with an adopter who understands and respects boundaries. She can be vocal at times, as is typical of small dogs, and she makes a great little alert pup. Pixie is still working on potty training, and she’s very treat-motivated, which will help her continue learning and thriving. Pixie would do best with an experienced dog owner who appreciates a confident, spirited little companion with lots of personality. If you’re looking for a spunky, independent, and entertaining sidekick — Pixie might just be your girl. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hi, I’m Ramona. A very spunky, feisty and cuddly multicolored pup with gorgeous eyes!! I’m fun pretty much all the way around, I love to play with all kinds of toys, love to play with dogs twice my size, I even try to make friends with cats but they don’t care for me. I’m spunky because I love to talk when I play. I’m feisty because I don’t let big dogs intimidate me, they rough house with me and I do it right back (silly goose’s didn’t expect my little self to be as courages as I am!!) I’m also very cuddly when it comes time to wind down and go to sleep, I will fall asleep by your shoulder or near the bottom of your legs. I love to play, eat and play some more. I’m currently learning sit too, I’m told I’m smart! My favorite thing at the moment are chew bones too! Ready for me to spice up your life? Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Get ready for cuteness overload, Sally! Sally is an adorable little chihuahua mixed with Maltese & Poodle. She has no long or curly hair, but she will steal your heart 💖 One of her favorite activities is cuddling: with people, and even next to a kitty. Other pastimes include dancing on her hind legs & singing the songs of her people in an only key sopranos dare to reach, watching toilets flush, & sunbathing. She does like to dig, unfortunately near the fence line, so should not be outdoors unattended. Also, although she cuddles with sleeping kitties, awake kitties are fair game for tag - something they might not appreciate. Both of these are trainable with this smart pup. So if cuteness, low shedding, small size, & a whole lotta fun are what you are looking for, hurry to adopt Sally! She is available through God’s Dogs Rescue (www.godsdogsrescue.com) Extra Attributes Leash trained Sings & dances when excited Local adoption fee is $250(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
