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
