🌟 Odie Updates 🌟
Shares appreciated!

Odie has come a long way and is now completely housetrained! His new home will need to keep him on a routine to ensure he doesn’t revert to old habits, but Odie is ready for his new nest.

This young adult male Chihuahua is the sweetest little lovebug you’ll ever meet. A true lapdog, Odie lives for snuggles and adores being with his people. He’s made incredible progress and is ready to thrive in a variety of homes!

🐾 What Makes Odie Special:
Lap Dog Extraordinaire: Odie’s happiest moments are spent curled up beside his person. Perfect for homebodies who love companionship.
Great with Small Dogs: Odie would love to live with other small dogs and is okay with gentle, midsize ones too (with proper introductions).
Tolerant of Kids: While Odie can tolerate visiting children, he’d prefer to live in a home with kids 12+ who understand his sensitive nature.
Cat-Friendly: Odie is okay with cats.
🏡 Ideal Home for Odie:
Quiet Environment: Odie thrives in calm households where he feels safe and loved.
Routine-Oriented: A family committed to keeping him on a consistent schedule to maintain his excellent housetraining.
Not Left Alone for Long: Like most Chihuahuas, Odie needs a home where someone is around more often than not.
💙 Additional Details:
Odie is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed, and on flea prevention.
Adoption Fee: $850

Meet Orville – Your New Adventure Buddy!

Orville is a 12-week-old Lab/Collie mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Currently medium-sized, he’s growing fast and is on his way to becoming a large, energetic dog who will keep you on your toes in the best way possible.

This cuddly, affectionate pup thrives on human interaction and loves making new friends, both two-legged and four. A quick learner with a sharp mind, Orville has already mastered basic commands like “come,” “sit,” “stay,” “down,” and “kennel.” With the build of a Labrador and the intelligence of a Collie, he’s the total package—but he’ll need plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and consistent training to channel his boundless energy.

Orville is searching for an active family who’s up for the challenge of keeping him happy and healthy. Daily walks, training sessions, and outdoor play are a must! He’s best suited for homes with older kids who can help with his care and training; his size and enthusiasm might be overwhelming for younger children.

Orville’s adoption fee is $700, which includes a $200 rebate if he’s neutered within a year of adoption. He’s had two sets of vaccines, has been dewormed, and is microchipped.

https://form.jotform.com/243494963032258

Are you ready to give this bright, loving boy the forever home he deserves? Orville can’t wait to meet his perfect match! 🐾

Meet Tiny!
Hi everyone, I’m Tiny, and I’m ready to find my forever home!

I’m a 3-year-old, 6 lb long-haired Chihuahua/Shih-Tzu mix with the sweetest little face and a heart full of hope. ❤️

Life hasn’t been easy for me—I came from a difficult past where I didn’t get the love and care every dog deserves. But with the help of my foster mom and her kind foster dogs, I’m learning what it means to be a happy, cherished pup.

Here’s what you should know about me:
🐾 I’m very sweet, just a little shy. I want to trust humans, and I’m making progress every single day!
🐾 I’m pretty much potty-trained to go outside—yay me!
🐾 I love food and treats (who doesn’t?), which is helping me bond and gain confidence.
🐾 I sleep peacefully in my crate all night, like a good boy.
🐾 I’m starting to approach my foster mom on my own, but I’m still not ready to be picked up. I know I’ll get there with time and patience.

The perfect home for me would:
✔️ Be quiet and predictable, where I can take small steps toward building trust.
✔️ Have another small dog who can show me the ropes and be my buddy.
✔️ Be filled with love, patience, and understanding to help me become the best version of myself.

If you’re the special person I’ve been waiting for, please fill out an application below. Together, we can make my second chance the best chapter of my life. 🐶❤️

Adoption Application:

Adoption Fee: $850
This includes vaccines, neuter, microchip, deworming, and flea prevention.

Thank you for considering me! Love,
Tiny

🌟 Meet Coco: A Sweet but Shy Chihuahua Looking for a Special Home 🌟

Coco is a 2-year-old spayed female Chihuahua with a heart as big as her tiny frame (though she’s a little chubby right now!). She was deeply loved by her previous owner, but her early years lacked socialization, leaving her frightened by many day-to-day experiences.

🩺 Coco’s Health Needs
We have extensive vet records for Coco and are currently managing her care. She’s on a daily allergy medication, though it’s uncertain if she’ll need it long-term or if a strict diet will suffice. Coco also had surgery for luxating patella, a common issue in her breed. Her current weight isn’t ideal for her knee health, so she’ll need gentle support to reach a healthier size.

💖 Coco’s Personality
Coco is very shy and skittish but shows no desire to bite—just a sweet girl who needs understanding. She’s paper-trained and unfamiliar with the outdoor world. Coco is being fostered with other dogs and is indifferent to them, though she may warm up to a small, gentle canine companion. She poses no risk to cats or other animals in the home.

🏡 Coco’s Ideal Home
Coco is looking for a patient, loving adopter who understands that she’s a “project dog.” She needs someone who is home often and can take baby steps to help her feel confident and secure. Coco would thrive in a quiet, adult-only home with no young kids and a family willing to help her overcome her fears.

If you’re ready to open your heart to this complicated but lovable little gal, Coco could be the one for you. Apply to adopt her here:
👉 https://form.jotform.com/243494963032258

🐾 With patience and love, Coco will blossom into a cherished companion. Could you be her forever home? 🏠 ❤️

Chrissy is a 14-week-old Bernese Mountain Dog and Australian Shepherd mix with a unique scruffy coat and a larger-than-life personality! She’s part of the “Three’s Company” litter and is ready to find her forever family.

Chrissy is full of energy and would thrive in an active home where she can run, play, and join in on all the adventures. Whether it’s hiking, jogging, or playing fetch, she’s always up for a good time. After an active day, she’ll happily settle in for some snuggles, making her the perfect mix of playful and loving.

Why Chrissy is the perfect fit for your family:

Adventure Buddy: Chrissy’s energy and enthusiasm make her an ideal companion for outdoor-loving families.
Friendly & Social: She gets along well with other dogs and children, fitting seamlessly into a busy household.
Scruffy & Adorable: Her scruffy coat adds to her charm, and her personality shines just as bright as her unique look.
Smart & Ready to Learn: Chrissy is making great progress with house training and is eager to learn new skills. She’s also working on crate training and leash walking.
Chrissy’s adoption fee of $700 includes her core vaccines, flea and tick prevention, and a microchip. Plus, you’ll receive a $200 rebate when she’s spayed within her first year of adoption.

If you’re an active family looking for a spirited, loving pup to join your adventures, Chrissy is your girl! Apply to adopt her today at https://form.jotform.com/243494963032258 and get ready for a lifetime of fun and companionship.

Meet Janet!
Shares are always appreciated!
Janet is a 14-week-old Bernese Mountain Dog and Australian Shepherd mix who’s ready to snuggle her way into your heart! As part of the “Three’s Company” litter, she’s the perfect combination of playful energy and unconditional love. Janet will be a large dog, but likely not "huge". She is about 18 pounds currently.

This sweet girl thrives on companionship and will happily cuddle up after a day of fun and games. Janet is already doing well with her house training, working hard on her crate training, and shows great promise walking on a leash.

What makes Janet so special?

Kid & Dog Friendly: Janet gets along beautifully with children and other dogs, making her a wonderful choice for families.

Cat Compatible: While she’s currently uninterested in cats, her calm demeanor suggests she’d adapt well to a feline-friendly home.

Playful Personality: Janet loves her toys and will keep you smiling with her silly antics, whether she’s chasing a ball or enjoying a good game of tug.

Smart & Trainable: With her sharp mind and eager-to-please attitude, she’s ready to learn and grow alongside her new family.

Janet’s adoption fee of $700 includes her core vaccines, flea and tick prevention, and a microchip. Plus, you’ll receive a $200 rebate when she’s spayed within her first year of adoption.

Don’t wait to bring this smart, snuggly, and spirited pup into your life! Apply to adopt Janet today at https://form.jotform.com/243494963032258 and get ready for a lifetime of tail wags and puppy kisses.
