Story
Hello, Angel is a lively 3 year old that is the sweetest thing. She love to cuddle and give kisses. She is fully house broken and is a good eater. She loves to run when you can get her in an open space. She eats dry food with a little wet mixed in to make it more appetizing. She does well with other dogs as well as cats. She is up to date with her shots, but she does take allergy medicine but it is not prescribed. I get them at Amazon. I am looking for someone who will spend time with her, take her out to have fun and to just give her love. I would not be re-homing her if I wasn't having health issues, but I am not able to take care of her any longer.

Story
Hi, I'm Sabrina! I am laid back and love a simple routine, but am also excited to explore the world. Though I cherish quiet moments like basking in the sun, I can easily be convinced to go for a walk, a hike, or even pull my owner on a skateboard! Me and my toy ball are inseparable and I'm always eager for a game of fetch or tug of war with it. My independent spirit means I'm content on my own but always loyal to those I love. I've also mastered the art of being super attentive to human's moods and am always ready to offer love, cuddles, and gentle kisses during anxious or hard times. Because I was attacked as a puppy, other dogs make me upset, so I need to be an only pet. If you're looking for a sweet soul to share in both peaceful and playful times, I'm your girl!

She’s a very smart dog. Loves attention. Loves her belly getting scratched. She’s crate trained. We trained her with a shock collar but shock her twice the entire time we’ve had her. She was raised with cats and birds. She doesn’t like small dogs. But we have not reintroduced her to small dogs. She’s full of energy for age.

Story
Mochi is a 7-year old male Chihuahua Mix from Nevada. He is a very affectionate boy that loves people, playing, and going for walks. He is very good with kids and loves the attention. The reason we are looking for a new home for him is because we have a small child and an infant that cry all the time and we think their screams hurt his ears and he yelps very loudly and tries to hide. His yelps make the kids cry harder and their cries make him cry harder. We wish it wasn’t so but we think it gives him a lot of stress and anxiety and isn’t the right environment for him. He is a good boy that deserves a home that’s right for him with people that can play with him more often and provide a less stressful environment.
