Paco

Chihuahua

Male, 12 yrs

Alexandria, VA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Story

Meet Paco, our charming senior Chihuahua with a heart as big as his adorable little ears! At just 8 pounds, Paco is the perfect pint-sized companion. Paco loves to follow you around the house like your tiny, loyal shadow. Whether you’re making coffee in the morning or relaxing in the evening, he’ll be right there, keeping you company. And when he’s had a full day of supervising and snuggling? Paco adorably tucks himself into bed when he’s tired — no fuss, just a polite little gentleman who knows when it’s time to rest. Paco is estimated to be around 10-12 years old and does well with other dogs. I would not recommend a home with small children just due to his age and small size. Paco does have some special medical needs. He came to us with horrible nasty teeth that all had to be pulled. His diet consists of small bite kibble soaked in water to make it soft for him to eat. He also enjoys wet foods of any kind. He also has a grade 4 out of 6 heart murmur and is on a regular heart medication for life. With this medication he still has a lot of life left to live! He is showing no outward symptoms of having a heart condition. Paco is located in Texas. His adoption fee is $195 local or $395 out of state with transport and includes current shots, microchip, neuter and negative heart worm test.

Story

Nibs arrived from Puerto Rico in search of a loving forever home. This sweet sweet boy loves to be held and snuggled. He is named Nibs as he is from Wendy’s - Peter Pan litter, and born with a naturally short stubby tail. He is super soft, weighs under 10 lbs and feels like heaven to hold. He is currently 8 months old, 8.8 lbs, neutered, and fully vetted. Nibs was best friends with a cat in his first home and is now happily adjusting to playing with his foster sister (another dog). He would love a buddy to lead the way and help him gain confidence and family dog skills. His adoption fee is $395. If you are looking for a small snuggly love, please put in an application.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.

Story

I am seeking a dedicated, permanent home for Storm, a five-year-old dog who has been in my care since he was a puppy. Unfortunately, his original breeder was not transparent regarding his congenital blindness; however, he has been a resilient and loyal companion throughout the years we have spent together. As Storm has matured, his needs have become increasingly specialized. Due to an upcoming relocation from a private residence to an apartment, I have come to the difficult realization that a high-density living environment would not be conducive to his well-being or his need for a consistent, navigable space.

Mamma Mia

American Pit Bull Terrier

Female, 2 yrs 1 mo

Virginia Beach, VA

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Story

Mamma Mia! Here we go again! My, my, how can I resist you? This super sweet gal was recently transferred from another shelter with her babies, and she has a dream that she`ll find her new home. Mamma has been nothing but an absolute sweetheart towards staff since coming in. She adores getting attention from people, and she can be quite the little dancing queen until she gets it. We will require that any kids in the home are 6 years or older, since Mamma Mia can get a bit excited and jumpy when she gets in a groove. Also, we will require a meet and greet if you already have another dog in the home, just to make sure they can get along. If you have any questions or would like to visit Mamma Mia, please ask a kennel tech for assistance!
