Story
Meet Chickie — A Sweet Little Lovebug Looking for Her Safe Place She is a shih tzu and is approximately 3 yo,  Fostered in Riverside, NJ Chickie (affectionately called Luna) is a darling little girl with a gentle heart and a whole lot of love to give. She may be shy at first, but once she feels safe, her true personality shines — and it’s nothing short of adorable. She is a total lap dog who loves cuddling, being pet, and staying close to her people. One of her favorite spots? Perched right on the back of the couch so she can be near you at all times. Chickie is:• Spayed• Up to date on vaccines• Microchipped• House trained, puppy-pad trained & crate trained Good With: Dogs (small, calm dogs preferred) Kids (calm and respectful) Adults & elderly Cats — unknown Men — needs time and gentle introductions Her Personality:Chickie is sweet, spunky, and affectionate. She enjoys playful moments but is just as happy being your little couch buddy. Loud or sudden noises can make her nervous, and she does best with slow introductions, patience, and a predictable routine. Once she settles in, she becomes incredibly loyal and loving. What She Loves:• Cuddling (A LOT )• Treats (very food-motivated!)• Gentle playtime• Being near her people• Other small dogs for comfort and confidence Ideal Home:Chickie truly thrives with companionship and would do best in:• A home with another small, calm dog (required)• Someone home most of the day (also required)• A quiet, patient household• Apartment, condo, or house — quieter environments preferred• A fenced yard is a bonus, but not required She’s still learning leash skills and prefers relaxed time in the yard or cozy indoor life. She doesn’t shed much, barks only occasionally, and has no known bad behaviors. In return for patience and love, Chickie will give you:Endless cuddles, gentle kisses, loyal companionship, and a tiny shadow who just wants to be close to her people and her doggy friend.

Story
I have had him for 5 years , since I was 18 it’s really hard for me to have to give him away , but I am starting a career and I work 12 hours a day so I don’t have the time to retrain him . Or take care of him properly. Ghost is tiny he does not eat dog food I do cook for him mainly boiled chicken and ground beef with rice . He is a mixed breed of chihuahua so he is a barker , he was almost stolen from me before and thrown out the window so he does tend to bite strangers if they try to pick him up not when petting . He isn’t house broken due to me being away for college and working . He does have lots of anxiety. I would like for him to be with someone who has experience with untrained dogs ghost is a good dog and he’s really loving he never leaves my side and he always comforts me when I’m sad or anxious, he doesn’t know how to go down stairs without stoppers . He is slightly overweight and aggressive at times but I think it’s because of me he is very protective to be so small .

Story
Kitty is an exquisite little Shih Tzu/Terrier mix with a sweet personality. She's about 1 year old and weighs between 12 and 15 pounds. (Because she's so small, any very young child in the home should have experience with such a little dog.) She loves toys and is very playful with other dogs. Shy at first, that doesn't last for long. Kitty came to us severely matted, so she will definitely need periodic grooming. What a delight this girl is! (posted 12/29/25, ME) Adoption Fee: $395.00-- covers microchip, worming, all vaccines, monthly heart worm preventative, monthly tick/flea preventative, spaying/neutering, health certificate, and complete medical records. Transport Fee: $160.00-- We consider the transport to be of great importance and, as such, take particular care of the dogs during the trip. We make every effort to arrive with healthy and minimally stressed dogs. **It is rare that we know with certainty the ages or mixes that make up our dogs, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible based upon our experience. **December 29, 2025, 3:31 pm
