Story
Meet Hera! This 2-year-old, 13.5-pound Chihuahua may be small in size, but she has a huge heart and an even bigger love for snuggling. Hera is a gentle soul who starts out shy, but once she feels safe, she blossoms into the most loyal, cuddly companion you could ever hope for. Hera adores children and loves nothing more than curling up next to them for naps. She’s also potty trained and crate trained, and while she was a little unsure before, she’s really come into her own in a loving home. She gets along well with other mild-mannered dogs, though she may be a little shy when first meeting them. While Hera doesn’t trust men right away, she’s not aggressive—just cautious and looking for patience and kindness. She would thrive in a calm, gentle home where she can continue to build confidence and share her quiet, devoted love. If you’re looking for a sweet, snuggly girl who’ll warm your heart (and your lap), Hera is ready to be your little shadow.

Story
Meet Dove! 🤍🕊️ This little sweetheart is as gentle as her name. With her soft grey coat and adorable mutt charm (we’re guessing chihuahua/min pin), Dove is an absolute beauty inside and out. She clearly knew love in her previous home, but after her owners were evicted, she suddenly found herself needing a safe place to land. Even with all the change, she remains incredibly sweet and trusting. Dove is about 2.5 years old, weighs 16 pounds, and gets along wonderfully with other dogs. She may be a tad shy when you first meet her, but it doesn’t take long before she’s leaning in for affection. We believe she’s house trained, too! Dove is ready to spend the holidays in a warm, loving home of her own. If you’re looking for a gentle, easygoing companion, this precious girl is waiting for you.
