Meet Odessa!!

Odessa, Odie, Odes, Weazel, Weazy, bebe Weasel, is a tiny girl with many names and a strong likeness for a taxidermied weasel/muskrat creature.

Odie came in with her siblings Nini and Quill. Unfortunately for her, Odie weasel was the only one who was heartworm positive 😭. This tiny 4 lbs, 3-4 year old muskrat is the most special bebe. She is super wiggly, and has some adorable nervous and happy tics, like smiling 😁, squinting her beady golden eyes, and circling you like cuddly prey.

Odessa will be on a medical hold for the next few months as she will be undergoing her HW treatment.

More pupdates to come!

Meet Nia Nichelle!

Nia Nichelle, aka Nini, comes to us with her brother Quill. Nini is his lil sister and only 3-4 years old. She is a tiny lil queen 👑 at 4 lbs of pure royalty. Like her siblings, she has gorgeous golden eyes, and knows how to use them!

Nini looooooooves her foster siblings and will always be in for some 🥄 spooning. Be it human or pup, Nini doesn't care as long as she is snuggly and warm 🥰❤️

Nini is good at pottying outside or on a potty pad. She will follow suit with her foster siblings and just watches and learns from the pack.

Meet Quill!

Looking for your very own holiday elf? Look no further than the golden eye prince of elves, Quill!

Quill comes to us after his owner was deported and all her chi babies were left with her son to help re-home.

Quill the elf is 8 years old, and super tiny at 2.6 lbs! But what he lacks in size, he makes up for with his ability to grant wishes. Jk, he can't really grant wishes, but he can be your wish come true!

Quill is a sweet and needy teeny boi that loves to be by your side. He does well with other tinys as long as he has a human to own! He has so much personality and is perfect in every way ❤️

Tis the season for foster "fails'" fa lala la la!!

We know you all love our babies, but so do we!!! And sometimes our foster families don't stand a chance!

Well November we set a personal record of 6 foster fails!! 🥰🙀

Congratulations to babies Phineas, Poni, Margot, Nash, Josie and Ivette!!!

Unfortunately our sweet Josie girl was diagnosed with degenerative heart valve disease, making her a hospice girly. But lucky for her, her foster mom said she was already in her final home and will spend however long she has left where she is being loved 😍

Our bloated bug eyed goddess, Ivette, was diagnosed with Cushing's, and since having so many medical appointments and work ups, she's spent every day with her foster mom at home and at work. So their bond has grown so strong, there was no way Ivette could let her foster mom and her treats go!!! 😘❤️❤️

Congratulations and huge thanks to these amazing foster families stepping up and rescuing these sweet vulnerable babies!!

Doogie Bowser is still available!!!

Paging doctor 🏥 Doogie Bowser! We need you on the operating room floor stat for a heart transplant for the heart you stole with that face!!! 💓😍

Doogie is the youngest dog-ter on the block! Approximately 9 months old, this sweet and handsome boy is breaking hearts left and right! He is just a big ball of joy and good boi! Doogie comes to us from PVAS after being found as an itchy stray. He has come so far from the unbearably itchy and red boi he was, to the adorable toy hoarder he is today!

DB is about 6.5 lbs and already potty trained, snuggly and just a dream.

Meet Kaden!!

Kaden is 10-12 Years, 4.2 Pounds, and 100% Sunshine 🌅

Kaden is living proof that senior chihuahuas are pure magic. When he first arrived, he was in rough shape with no hair on his back, missing his bottom jaw, and unsure of the world around him. But this tiny 4.2 lb gentleman has been glowing 🌟 up ever since he landed in his foster home.

And how is Kaden doing now?...
✨ His back fur is growing in beautifully 🤗
✨ He runs down the hall chasing his foster sisters
✨ He’s playful, sweet, and LOVES his meals
✨ He recognizes his name
✨ He’s the easiest, chillest little guy

Because he’s missing his bottom jaw, his foster mama hand feeds him soft food which he happily gobbles up with a healthy appetite 🐷. To help keep his gorgeous fur from getting crusty, or messing up his stylish fit he likes to wear his big boy bib. 🥰

Kaden is a beach going, blanket snuggling, heart melting, travel enthusiast, love bug who wakes up every day ready to enjoy his second chance. He had his warm baths, cozy clothes, fluffy blankets, vet check, tiny poops, and is thriving like the gentleman he is. ❤️

If you’ve ever dreamed of giving a senior sweetheart a soft landing for his golden years, and have a closet full of adorable tiny wardrobes, Kaden is your boy. He brings joy, gratitude, and gentle companionship everywhere he goes.

🐾 Meet Rena — Sweet, Snuggly, and Learning to Feel Safe 🐾

Rena is a tiny 5-year-old, 5-pound sweetheart who is settling into foster care and showing us what a loving little soul she really is. She absolutely melts for belly rubs and has already made herself at home snuggling with anyone who offers a cozy lap. 💗

She does have one important quirk: Rena resource guards, especially around food. Right now she prefers to keep her meals to herself and will growl to make sure others respect her space. She’s managing well with simple structure — having her breakfast in a pen with a crate attached — and she’s already learning that she doesn’t have to worry about anyone taking things from her.

The shelter also shared that Rena was recently involved in a dog fight through no fault of her own. She was scared and reacted when someone tried to separate the dogs. She had a few minor punctures, but the vet cleared her and she’s doing great now. Despite everything she’s been through, she has been nothing but loving with the people caring for her. ❤️

One important note: Rena cannot go to a home with big dogs. She’s a tiny girl who’s already been hurt once, and we won’t put her in another situation where she could be injured. Small-dog homes only, please.

She’s still decompressing, letting her guard down, and showing those soft, snuggly sides of her personality. With patience, structure, and understanding, Rena is going to blossom into an incredibly devoted companion.

Congratulations Yuki!

Our scared and slow burner gorgeous boi has found his people! He's made slow progress since he joined us, but his new mom and dad are ready and equipped to work with this sweet boi 🥰

The returns continue!

Recognize this little muppet? Our fairytale creature Darwin has returned to us after almost 2 years 😭

Darwin makes our 3rd dog currently in foster that was returned. We do a rigorous vetting of applicants, but unfortunately people's lives change. Since he has left ACR, Darwin hasn't been cared for as we had hoped. He left our care a healthy 7.5 lbs, and came back at 10 lbs. His teeth were hanging out of his mouth, and he was just a lil messy muppet.

After being back, this last week he has already started to lose weight and become more lively and excited. Today he had his dental, and had his rotten snaggles pulled, and his dental disease was so severe, he had bone deterioration and had sutures put in to help stabilize his jaw.

Despite coming back a mess, and losing his family, Darwin is already just transforming back into the perfect fuzzy boi we knew 2 years ago!
