Story
Hi, I’m Tux! I’m a tiny 3.6 lb gentleman with a bow-tie marking on my back—perfect for my name. I’m a gentle little guy who loves following my sibling’s lead and staying close to my people. Foster mom also calls me “Tuck,” because I tuck right into her hand or curl up snugly in my crate. I already sleep through the night with no accidents and I’m learning quickly—I come when called and can sit. Because I’m still so young and small, I’ll need someone who can continue helping me with daytime potty breaks and building my confidence. My siblings and I are recovering from demodex (non-contagious) mange, so don’t worry about my bare little wrinkles—my fur is in the process of growing back! I’ve got the sweetest, softest spirit, and I’m going to be a handsome little dude as my coat grows in. Don’t miss out—the best holiday gift might just be me. Tux is a Jack RussellChihuahua mix, born 10/03, and will be a small adult. He weighs 3.6 lbs as of 12/6.

Story
Hi, I’m a little street survivor turned snuggle bug! 🐾 When my foster mommy first found me, I was just skin and bones, wandering the streets looking for food and trying my best to be brave. Life was scary and lonely — but everything changed when I was saved. Now I’m safe, warm, and finally learning what it means to be loved. 💛 Even though I’m still a very young puppy, I’m super smart — I’ve never had an accident in the house! I’m already learning my commands, getting the hang of this “toys and treats” thing, and figuring out that humans can be trusted. I’m also learning how to have fun, and every day I get a little more confident and happy. I get along great with other dogs and love having furry friends to play with. I don’t really know what breed I am — maybe a little mystery mix of sweetness and resilience — but what I do know is that I’m going to make someone the bestest girl in the whole wide world. Now, I’m just looking for my forever home — a family who will keep helping me learn that love is forever. Could that be you? 💕 Jensen is a female Jack Russell Terrier mix with an estimated date of birth of 6/30/25. As of 11/1, she weighs 13 lbs.
