Story
I got Luna, April 2020 just at the beginning of the pandemic. She is a fantastic companion. She goes in and out of the dog door even when it's raining outdoors. She has never gone to the bathroom in the house. She is a good walker but slower now that she is a senior dog. I estimate her age as being 12 or 13 years old. She is hard of hearing so I get her attention when I whistle. And her vision is not as good as it used to be. Unlike most Chihuahuas, she is actually really quiet. The only time that she barks is when she wants to eat. She sleeps in her dog bed with a blanket over her. She has a lot of fibrous growths on her body, but they are not cancerous. She has had them since I got her. She has recently had her teeth cleaned and had about 9 teeth extracted. She has no medical issues except for occasional pee dribble. I travel often and will be moving soon which makes it really hard to keep her. She a sweet dog who is seeking a loving new home.

Story
Shadow is quite the girl once she trusts you. When Shadow first meets someone, she can be really shy and might try running away from you. But as long as you provide her with a safe and calm environment and let her direct the pace of the relationship, I ensure you that she will warm up to you. She is still getting used to the world and will need the guidance and positive training to continue getting well socialized. She absolutely loves cats. She is always trying to make friends with them and play. She can warm up to any size dog as long as the dog is respectful of her space and lets her guide the interactions. She also relies on her safety person a lot to reassure her that she is okay and safe around new dogs. She can be bit barky at other dogs at first or when on leash. But always settles down once she is comfortable. She just likes the dogs to know that she is small but feisty. She is full of energy and loves to play fetch and just be a dog. Most of her days consist of her running around the yard with my two adolescent large breed dogs and would probably thrive with a confident dog by her side. She loves to explore just as much as she loves to cuddle. She is crate trained (she loves having blankets in her crate to wrap herself in). She is doing amazing with potty training too. The only accidents were in the rainy days. oh yeah, she for sure does not like the rain. She has great recall and does know her name. She is truly a great dog who is just looking for a safe and calm home.

Story
WEIGHT: ~22lbs.Meet Marley. Marley came to us from our friends over at the Santa Cruz County Animal Shelter so if you thought that you recognized him from over there, you would be right! While in their care he spent time in a foster home, and they reported that he warms up quickly and that once he knows you, he just wants to follow you around and jump in your lap. They noted that once comfortable he becomes quite confident and can even be a little bit bossy, so he will need a savvy adopter who is ready to dedicate time to proper training and boundary setting. Since he has been here with us, shelter staff have noted that he has a tendency to exhibit some cheeky puppy-like behaviors such as mouthing and jumping and that he can be a little sensitive to handling so an adult household would likely be best for him. He is liable to chase cats and other small animals, but a home with another dog may be a fit for him provided they meet first at the shelter. He may look like every other tan chihuahua, but he's got personality out the wazoo, and he'll make someone a great little dog. If you think that you might be his person, fill out an Adopters Profile, call the shelter to schedule a meet and greet, or stop by during Browsing Hours Wed-Sun 11-5!
