Story
  A quick look at Wanda and you probably think she is a Terrier mix. Actually, she is a Portuguese Podengo Pequeno, a breed known for its many wonderful qualities, most notably playful, charming, lively, inquisitive, and intelligent.  Wanda certainly has all of these qualities and more. Although she is about 7-10 years old, Wanda has the energy and gusto of a much younger dog. She is a very bright and friendly girl, always ready to engage for playtime or affection. Wanda embraces all the attention she receives, and enjoys it all from playing with toys, playing fetch, romping in the yard, to cuddling up for love and belly rubs.             Wanda is ready to brighten up a new family with her spry, fun, sweet personality. She gets along with other dogs, but would be fine as the only dog in her new home. She currently weighs about 21-22 pounds, but should be about 18 pounds at proper weight. Wanda continues to be passed on for our Shih Tzus and other smaller, younger dogs, and has been at the rescue for way too long.  Won’t you consider giving this amazing girl a chance, and put in an application today?Please watch the video at the end of the photos to see Wanda displaying all her Podengo greatness. She sure is fantastic!January 2, 2026, 7:07 pm

Story
Meet Chewy: Chewy is a 1-year-old Chihuahua–Pug mix who was rescued from Texas in May of 2025. He is a small, sensitive soul who is still learning how to feel safe and understood in the world. Chewy is under-socialized with people and is also still learning how to walk comfortably on a leash. He is especially sensitive to anything going around his neck, which can feel scary for him right now. With time, patience, and gentle guidance, Chewy has the ability to make progress and grow more confident. He would do best in a quiet, low-stress household with someone who can move at his pace and be attentive to his needs. Chewy has a low energy level and would do well in an apartment or condo where life is calm and predictable. Chewy does well with other dogs, which can be comforting for him. He may show some barrier reactivity at windows, but this is not aggression—he is simply frustrated and hasn’t yet had the chance to fully learn how to handle those situations. Chewy is looking for a kind, understanding home that sees past his fears and is willing to help him feel safe. While his journey may take time, offering him patience and compassion could make all the difference in helping him discover a more confident, peaceful life.
