Story
Diva is a 5-year-old chihuahua mix who truly lives up to her name — she knows how to be both a total sweetheart and the center of attention. She is incredibly cuddly and affectionate and loves nothing more than snuggling up with her people once she feels comfortable. When she’s not soaking up love, Diva enjoys playing with her toys and showing off her playful side. Like many small dogs, Diva can be wary of new people at first, but she warms up quickly when allowed to approach at her own pace. Once she decides you’re her person, she’s all in! She has lived with kids and did well with children she already knew, making her a nice fit for a home with respectful, dog-savvy kids. Diva prefers to be the only dog in the home, as she does not like other dogs and will bark at them. She is house trained to go outside and is also crate trained, which makes the transition into a new home much easier. Diva would do best in a calm, loving home where she can be the star of the show and enjoy all the cuddles she deserves. Ready to Adopt?

Story
OTHER PETS: Maddie has gotten along well with both bigger and similarly-sized dogs while here at TJO! While a bit awkward, she quickly relaxes and attempts to initiate play after a few greeting sniffs. [Likely (Must Meet First)]OWNER EXPERIENCE: Maddie is an all-around happy dog that loves people just as much as she loves her toys. She would likely make a good first dog for anyone looking to be dedicated to caring for a new family. Experience with, or willing to learn positive reinforcement. [First Dog]KIDS: Maddie is tolerant of handling and has not shown any signs of resource guarding while at TJO. She could potentially be a good match for a family with kids, but as always interactions between children and dogs should be actively monitored to ensure that both parties remain comfortable and safe. [Likely (Must Meet First)]ACTIVITY LEVEL:Maddie is an easy-going, playful dog that loves spending time with her people--whether that means hanging out on the couch, a walk around the neighborhood, or playtime out in the yard. She absolutely loves toys, though her favorites seem to be of the squeaky variety! A blend of regular exercise and plenty of mental enrichment such as food puzzles and games will help meet her needs. [Good Walking Buddy]VETERINARY CARE: [Routine]LEVEL OF TRAINING NEEDED:Positive reinforcement training will help Maddie not only learn her basic cues & skills, but also help her to bond with her new owner while building confidence. [Minimal]GROOMING:Routine brushing will help to minimize shedding in the home. [Minimal]January 14, 2026, 2:42 pm
