Story
Meet Ouiser 8 years old • 12.5 lbs • Chinese Crested or Xoloitzcuintle (hairless breed) / Yorkie mixLooking for a loyal little shadow with a heart of gold? Meet Ouiser—a partially blind sweetheart who proves that small dogs can have the biggest personalities. Her vision may be limited, but her love for people is crystal clear. She adores being around her humans, following them from room to room just to be part of the action. When she’s had her fill of affection and excitement, she’ll find a quiet, cozy corner to curl up for a well-deserved nap.Ouiser loves gentle attention, soft snuggles, and calm companionship. She’s happiest as the only pet, or sharing space with very easygoing animals who respect her boundaries. Her silly little snorts, loyal heart, and affectionate nature will quickly win you over once she feels safe and settled.When she’s not snoozing or lounging in a sunny spot, Ouiser enjoys short walks, soaking up fresh air, and proudly carrying around her favorite plush toys. With her low-to-medium energy and simple grooming routine (a few trims and a touch of sun protection), she’s an easy, loving companion ready to make every day a little brighter.&#226&#156&#168 Ouiser’s Perfect Match:-Someone who loves having a sweet, snuggly sidekick-A calm home with no pets -People who appreciate a mix of sass, softness, and soulful eyesIf you’re a Steel Magnolias fan, you’ll recognize her name—and her spark. Like her namesake, Ouiser is funny, feisty, and full of love once you’re in her circle. If you’ve ever said, “I’m not crazy, I’ve just been in a very bad mood for 40 years,” and laughed about it—you might be exactly her kind of person.Adoption InfoDogs aren’t placed on a first-come, first-serve basis—we match each animal to their best home.

Story
Meet Woofgang Puck, or just Puck for short! This lovable 8-year-old Chihuahua mix is a little bundle of joy, possibly with a sprinkle of Beagle in his genes. At first, Puck may come off as shy, but give him a moment, and his playful side will shine like a star! Puck adores his toys and loves to get into some light-hearted trouble—just picture him as the life of the party! He enjoys his naps, but don’t let him miss out on the fun; after all, who wants to snooze through an adventure? He loves being outside, but keep an eye on him—if the yard isn’t secure, he might go on his own mini explorations. And be careful! If a door is left open, he’s ready to dash out! When it comes to other dogs, Puck needs a little help. He has a tendency to “assist” them with their meals, which can be quite annoying. His friendly greetings can be a bit much—he barks, jumps, and wags his tail enthusiastically, which may confuse his canine pals. With some training, he can learn to tone it down. He’s also learning how to handle his protective instincts, but if you have other pets, be prepared to guide him through it. Puck is quite the jumper when he’s excited and might unexpectedly leap onto you, giving playful nips at your legs! He listens when corrected but often forgets the rules once the fun starts again. While he’s crate trained, Puck feels much more comfortable snoozing on a cozy bed rather than being confined to a crate. Sleeping in your bed isn’t something he’s into just yet. The good news is, he’s house trained and will let you know when it’s time to go out. Puck does have a heart murmur and takes medication twice a day for it. He can get a bit anxious, especially when being picked up or during car rides, and sitting on laps isn’t really his scene. This sweet boy is looking for a forever home filled with love, patience, and understanding. With your support, Puck will be ready for short hikes and exciting adventures with his favorite human! Puck has been neutered, is current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. He also had a recent dental and lost a few teeth. If you are interested in adopting Puck, please complete an adoption application on our website. Just go to uaaf.org/adopt.

Story
Hi, I’m Nora! I’m a 6-year-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix with a BIG personality and an even bigger heart. I love to make an entrance—whether I’m zooming down the hallway or running in and out of the house, you’ll hear me coming! My tail is usually wagging, and I’m always excited to see my people. When playtime is over, I’m a total snuggle bug and would be very happy curled up next to you on the couch. I’m loyal to the core and once I choose my person, you’re my person forever. I can be a little sassy (okay, maybe a lot), but that’s part of my charm. I also LOVE toys—seriously, I’ve built quite the collection and I’m very proud of it. I get along with other dogs, though I can be a bit bossy at times. I don’t have to be an only pup, but I do best with dog-savvy humans who understand that small dogs can have big feelings. I’m very protective of my people and just want to keep them safe. Cats? Well… I think they’re fun to chase, so I’d probably prefer a home without them (or with cats who can stand their ground). The good news? I’m crate trained, house trained, great on a leash, spayed, vaccinated, heartworm negative, microchipped—and I just had a dental, so my smile is sparkling. If you’re looking for a sweet, spunky, toy-loving cuddle buddy with loads of personality, I might be your girl. I promise to love you fiercely and keep life entertaining. If you are interested in adopting Nora, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt).
