Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
He was surrendered to us in 2022 when his person was too sick to care for him. He was then adopted and lived in what we thought would be his forever home, but a year and a half later they returned him back to us due to no fault of his own. He is energetic, enjoys long walks, and loves nothing more than to be right next to someone. We think he is now about 10 years old. He may be a mix of Rat Terrier and Chihuahua, but we can never be sure of that. He is hit or miss with other dogs, mostly miss, so we want to place him as an only dog (and no cats) in an adult-only home or home with older children. If you are looking for the most loyal best friend that will never leave your side, this is the guy for you. We do require visits here to our rescue in Agua Dulce, CA, and in person home checks for all adoptions.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Penny was pulled from the shelter after she came in as a stray and during her stray hold she gave birth to 4 puppies. The puppies have all found great homes and now it’s Penny’s turn. She was definitely a street dog, running scared and never knowing what it is to have a place to call home. She was VERY scared and unfamiliar with having a safe/indoor home before being rescued. Thankfully her foster mom is experienced and was able to help Penny settle. She is slow to trust but once she is given some patience and love, she bonds and you have a friend for life. She is terrific with other dogs and cats. Kids, fine as long as they are older and able to read her to give her the time and space necessary to help her feel safe and not pressured. She has a fabulous snuggle tooth too!
