Story
Niko is a true lap dog with a lively interest in being outdoors. He was spotted multiple times running the streets before his rescue.  A very secure backyard and daily walks are an absolute necessity for this investigative, energetic little guy.  Niko also enjoys looking out the window and going to dog parks, is cooperative getting his harness on, can be left loose when you're out, is good on car rides, and is not a picky eater.Niko is generally low-maintenance. He seems okay around respectful children (about 6+), and dogs of all sizes (he favors larger dogs), he is playful, and has guard dog tendencies of barking at people/noises near your windows and doors. As energetic as Niko sometimes can be, he is a deep sleeper who loves to snooze on a dog bed with comfy blankets or get under the covers on a people bed.  Niko is chock full of personality, but the sort that is especially endearing.  He is a charmer with an independent streak.  But most of all he is a loving little guy who needs a loving home. ##2280678##

Story
Meet the Rat Terrier/Chihuahua crew! 🐾 These sweet pups were rescued from a hoarding situation with over 50 dogs. The ones we were able to save are the lucky ones, and now they’re looking for forever families. 💕 They are far from perfect—but they are making progress every single day. They’re still working on house training (most likely they’ve never even seen grass before), and they’re just beginning to learn how wonderful human touch can be. Training will still be needed ✨ Meet the pack: • Willow – Mostly white with black, 13 lbs, 3–4 years old • Cindy – The biggest girl at 15 lbs, 3–4 years old • Kaya (Kaia) – The smallest, mostly black, 11 lbs, 3–4 years old • Anna – About 10 months old, 12.5 lbs; likely best as an only dog or with larger dogs • Dodger (the only boy!) – 13 lbs, around 3 years old All are fully vetted: spayed/neutered, microchipped, and heartworm negative. Special adoption fee: $125 These pups are ready for someone patient, loving, and willing to take a chance on them. With time and care, they’ll blossom into the wonderful companions we know they can be. Could one of these cuties be your new best friend?

Story
This adorable little girl is just over a year old and weighs about 12.5 pounds. She’s fully vetted, heartworm negative, microchipped, and making great progress with her potty training. Her adoption fee is only $25! She came from a hoarding situation where dogs were kept in crates in a small apartment, so crates aren’t her favorite place to be. But, it sometimes can be her safety place. Understandably, she’s still a bit nervous and learning to trust. Sometimes she’s too scared to be caught, but with patience, gentleness, and time, she’ll come around and show her true loving nature. Because of her background, she’s not a good fit for apartment living—she’ll need a secure backyard where she can safely explore and feel comfortable. She does best with dogs her size or larger, and would thrive in a calm, understanding home that’s willing to let her open up at her own pace. She’s not an “instant dog”—she’ll need time to trust and adjust—but once she feels safe, she’ll reward you with a lifetime of love and loyalty. Could you be the one to give this sweet girl the safe, loving home she deserves? Complete your application today at https://chloespetrescue.org/application
