Story
We adopted Athena from a shelter last January, and she has grown into the sweetest girl—now a year and three months old. Athena loves nothing more than cuddling on the couch, keeping you warm in bed at night, and being close to her person. She enjoys long walks, car rides, and exploring new places with curiosity and excitement. We’ve made the difficult decision to rehome Athena because, despite over a year of trying, she and our other dog simply haven’t been able to coexist peacefully. Our greatest hope is to find her a forever home where she can be the only animal and receive all the love and attention she so happily gives in return. Athena truly is a wonderful girl with so much love to offer, and we know she will make someone incredibly happy. 🐾💛

Story
It is with a broken heart that I have had to make the decision to rehome my sweet Moira. Following a divorce and financial struggles it's in her best interest that she goes to a home that can provide more time and attention. She is sweet and mild tempered. She gets along well with other animals and all people. She is quiet and well trained. She is house trained and is a great indoor companion but loves time outside running and playing.

Story
Milo is a very sweet dog. He doesn’t bark. He likes chew bones. He’s great with our cats. He’s about 12 months old. He has all his shots, he’s neutered, and is microchipped. We adopted him from a Chihuahua rescue in San Antonio. We had him DNA tested and he’s 79% Chihuahua. We’ve had him about two months and have not been able to piddle pad train him. That is a necessity for our household. Sometimes he gets it and sometimes he doesn’t. He weighs about 10 pounds and has very short hairs. He is a happy dog!
