NAME:  Crayola BREED:  Chihuahua/terrier mix SEX:  male COLOR:  cream AGE:  2 1/2 yrs as of Jan 2026 WEIGHT:  15 lbs Get to know Crayola:   Meet Crayola!  Crayola is a 2 1/2-year-old Chihuahua/Terrier mix weighing 15 pounds, and if there's one thing he wants the world to know, its this: Broken crayons still color. Crayola's journey hasn't been an easy one. He was found as a stray, and its believed he may have been hit by a car at some point in his past. Unfortunately, whatever injury he suffered never received proper treatment, leaving him with some weakness and coordination issues in his back legs. But if you're expecting Crayola to feel sorry for himself, think again. This little guy wakes up every day ready to live life to the fullest. He may move a little differently than other dogs, but he doesn't let that slow him down one bit. Crayola is brave, determined, and always ready for whatever adventure comes next. More than anything, Crayola loves people. Friends, strangers, visitors, volunteers... if you're human, there's a good chance Crayola wants to meet you. He has a sweet personality, a heart full of love, and a tail that seems to have forgotten there's any reason not to wag. A fenced yard with soft grass would be a dream come true for him. He enjoys exploring, sniffing around, and soaking up all the good things life has to offer. Crayola's one challenge is that he can be very reactive toward other dogs. While he's making progress, he currently needs careful management around canine companions and is not a dog that can simply be turned loose with every dog he meets. Because of this, he may do best as an only dog or with an experienced adopter willing to continue working on his behavior. What Crayola lacks in perfect mobility, he more than makes up for in courage. What he lacks in confidence around other dogs, he makes up for in love for people. And what he lacks in luck so far, were hoping to make up for with the perfect forever family. Crayola has already overcome more than most dogs ever will. Now all he needs is a home where he can spend the rest of his life doing what he does best: Loving people and proving that obstacles don't define you. They simply make your story more inspiring.

NAME:   Kirby BREED:  Chihuahua mix SEX:        Male COLOR:  white/tan AGE:    est at 5 yrs as of April 2026 WEIGHT:    9.5 lbs LOCATED IN:  Arcadia SOME COOL INFORMATION ABOUT ME:  Meet Kirby!  Kirby is a 5-year-old Chihuahua weighing in at just 9 pounds, making him the perfect pocket-sized companion with a big personality! This handsome tan-and-white boy believes every person is a friend he just hasn't met yet. He is sweet, affectionate, and loves soaking up attention from everyone.  If you're looking for a dog who enjoys being petted and spending time with his people, Kirby is happy to volunteer for the job. Don't let his cuddly side fool you, though. Kirby also has a playful streak and loves to run, play, and have fun. He's the kind of dog who can zoom around the yard one minute and then happily settle in beside you for some affection the next. Kirby gets along great with other dogs and doesn't seem to mind cats, making him a wonderful candidate for many different types of homes. Kirby does have some skin sensitivity that may be related to allergies, but it doesn't slow him down one bit. He's still living life to the fullest and is ready to find a family of his own.

NAME:  Clover BREED:  Chihuahua mix SEX:    female COLOR:  White AGE:  1 yr as of April 2026 WEIGHT:   8.6 lbs LOCATED IN:  Arcadia SOME COOL INFORMATION ABOUT ME: Meet Clover!  Clover is a 1-year-old Chihuahua weighing just 8 pounds, but this little girl has a heart full of love waiting to be shared with the right person. At first, Clover can be very shy. New people, busy environments, and energetic dogs can feel overwhelming to her. She's the kind of dog who prefers to take things slow and learn that she's safe before letting her true personality shine. The good news? Once Clover trusts you, she's absolutely wonderful. Her favorite volunteers have been spending extra time with her, and little by little, they're watching her confidence grow. The shy girl who once kept her distance is learning that people can be kind, gentle, and trustworthy. And when Clover is happy, you'll know it. She has the ultimate butt wiggles that make everyone smile.  Clover loves to snuggle with the people she trusts and enjoys wandering around the yard with them, simply enjoying their company. She's not looking for nonstop excitement. She's looking for someone who understands that the best friendships sometimes take a little time to build. There isn't a mean bone in Clovers body. She's sweet, gentle, and sensitive. Because wild puppies, energetic dogs, and busy households make her nervous, she would do best in a calm home with patient adopters and no children. Clovers ideal family wont expect her to be brave on day one. They'll give her the time she needs, celebrate the small victories, and discover the incredible little dog waiting beneath that shy exterior.   If you are interested in adopting please complete our Adoption Application by copying and pasting the following link into your web browser: http://www.caninecastaways.org/adoption-application For a full list of dogs we currently have for adoption use this link:  https://www.caninecastaways.org/adoptable-dogs MEDICAL INFO: The following has been or will be done for this dog... - Basic Exam by Veterinarian - Spayed or Neutered - Heartworm Tested - Placed on heartworm preventive - Basic Bloodwork - Urinalysis - Microchipped - Intestinal Parasite Exam and medication - Vaccinations - Placed on Flea preventive ADOPTION DONATION: $300 This adoption donation helps to cover the vet expenses for this dog including heartworm preventive which is dispensed at the initial vet visit and then goes with the dog at adoption.
