Story
Phantom first came into the shelter years ago as a stray. He was eventually adopted, but somewhere along the way, he ended up discarded again. Animal control received a call about a dog left sitting outside in a kennel. That dog was Phantom. He weighed only 12 pounds. Every rib, every hip bone, every vertebra visible beneath his skin. Starved. Weak. Forgotten. Yet somehow, despite everything humans had done to him, Phantom still loved people. Even on the brink of death, his tail still wiggled. Today, Phantom is thriving and ready to find the family he always deserved. He is a snack-sized little guy who fits perfectly in your lap and quickly makes himself at home wherever he goes. He LOVES food, loves cuddles, and gets the wiggliest butt when he's getting attention or kisses. His favorite thing in the world is simply being near his people. Phantom does well in a home environment, enjoys lounging nearby, and is happiest soaking up love and snacks like he's making up for lost time Spayed/neutered: yes Good with adults: yes Good with kids: yes Good with other dogs: yes Good with cats: TBD House trained: yes Crate trained: yes, but will bark when hungry/go out to potty Energy level: medium Can be handled/touched: yes Barker: occasionally Flight risk: no; however, all dogs should be considered flight risks in new environments Food aggressive: no Walks on leash: yes Leash reactive to people or dogs: no Rides well in car: yes Destructive: no Needs a home with a yard: no, but does enjoy one!

Story
AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION Meet Jessica! Jessica is a 2-year-old female Rat Terrier/chihuahua mix who weighs 9 pounds. This adorable little girl is looking for a patient and loving family to call her own. Jessica is pee pad trained, but she will need a family who is committed to continuing her outdoor potty training with consistency and patience. She understands outdoor potty breaks but currently prefers using her pee pads. While she isn't crate trained, she settles well without one and enjoys sleeping in her own bed beside her people. Jessica can be a little shy when meeting new people and may feel nervous when the leash comes out, but with gentle encouragement and patience, she quickly begins to build trust. Once she feels comfortable, her affectionate personality shines through. She loves to cuddle, especially curling up close to her favorite person, and enjoys spending her evenings relaxing on the couch after a fun day. Jessica absolutely adores other dogs and loves having canine friends to play with. Cats and children are unknown, as she has not been around them. She has a playful, silly personality that is sure to make you smile. Jessica loves every toy she can get her paws on and makes sure to empty the entire toy basket! One of her funniest habits is tossing her toys—and even her kibble—up into the air before happily playing with them. Watching her zoom around the backyard and entertain herself is guaranteed to brighten your day. Jessica is an active little pup who enjoys chewing, so having plenty of toys or durable chew toys will help keep her happy and occupied. If you're looking for a loyal, playful, and affectionate companion who will reward your patience with endless love and cuddles, Jessica could be the perfect addition to your family.
