Pupdate: Adopted!

Arturo is a cute chocolate colored pup who came into the shelter after being found stray. So far we have learned that he is exceedingly smart. He knows a few commands and is happy to show you in exchange for a treat. He might even be capable of opening the adoption room doors. He would be unstoppable with thumbs! On his trip to the vet, he did wonderfully in the car as well. Overall he is an easy going, happy guy who just needs a friend to love. So far he has tolerated other dogs when introduced to them in the shelter, but still seems pretty uncertain about them, so we would recommend a meet and greet if you have any other dogs. Come adopt Arturo at the Hurst Adoption Center!

Meet Muffin! This little cutie is brave and loves adventure. She is affectionate and will easily win your heart with her charm and sweet nature!

Muffin was “owned” by a homeless man and it was obvious he could not care for her. A Good Samaritan stepped in and talked him into surrendering her. They contacted CRT and asked if we would bring her into the CRT program. We said “yes” and she has been a delight.

Muffin is a fun and playful puppy! She loves the other small dogs in her foster home. Muffin loves to run and tumble with her siblings. She also loves to race with them in the house. And she loves to explore everything in life. Muffin LOVES toys. Her favorites are squeaky toys and the crinkly toys. She is so good natured and fun!

Muffin adores her family. She is very friendly. We think she is one of the sweetest puppies we have had. She loves to cuddle and she will snuggle with you for hours. If you enjoy relaxing TV time at night, Muffin wants to climb up into your lap and cuddle! She loves to be up against you, sharing your love. Muffin sticks close to you and will follow you from room to room. Note that she can be a tripping hazard. She is also super fast, so her family will want to ensure there is a safe barrier at the front door so she does not dash out and begin to explore the neighborhood!

Muffin is about 4 months old (as of early March). She is 4.5 pounds. She will probably grow another 1-2 pounds (will be a smaller dog). Muffin has a beautiful light tan coat with black and white highlights. She has a wiry coat. We love her floppy ears. One of our CRT supporters has generously donated a DNA kit and the test results are in! Muffin is 56% pug, 14% Maltese, 10% Chihuahua, 7% Yorkie and then a lot of other breeds! We think everyone can agree that she is 100% adorable.

The ideal home for Muffin would be one with high energy. She would love to have another young dog (maybe 1-3 years) to play with. Because of her love of family and attention, she would love to live with a work-from-home family. She needs a family who can check on her every 4-6 hours (would not be a good fit for a family that works 10-12 hour days). She is fairly quiet, but she also has high energy. Her foster home has a human sister that Muffin enjoys playing with and snuggling with, so she should be fine with mature children 10 and older.

Muffin is very smart. She is a puppy and is learning every day. She has learned to use the Pe**ee pads in her foster home. She is great about going outside to potty and has even learned to use the doggy door in her foster home (monitored). At night, Muffin sleeps in a doggie bed inside of an ex-pen or crate. Now that her vet work is completed, we are going to begin leash training her. We are getting a harness for her and will begin to teach her how to walk on a leash.

Muffin is being fostered in the Dallas-Fort Worth (Texas) area. Our CRT adoption form can be found at: http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/

Adopted!

Looking for a calm and loving new family member? What about a sweet girl who already knows how to sit? Well, today is your lucky day! I am all those things and more! My name is Macy (1025585) and I am a 3 year old Shepherd/Terrier mix. I am looking for a family to call my own and a warm bed to sleep in. Let’s meet and see what you think!

Meet adorable Mya. This beautiful, elegant Chihuahua/Minpin mix is just a ball of fun. We say ball because that is her very, VERY favorite toy. She will go run after it for as long as you’re willing to toss it. She has lots of happy puppy energy and loves to jump around. She will have her vet work completed in late April and will be available for adoption at that time. We are taking applications now.

Mya was found running as a stray in the Dallas area. She was thin, covered in fleas and had overgrown nails. She was not wearing a collar or tags. A Good Samaritan found her, scooped her up right before she dashed into a busy street, and kept her safe and a search began for her family. Unfortunately she was not microchipped and no owners were found. The family reached out to CRT to see if we could put her into a foster home, get her vet work completed and help her find a forever family. This puppy is full of joy and we are happy to help in her journey!

Mya gets along well with the other small dogs in her foster home. She loves playing chase with them! The other dogs in her foster home are intrigued by Mya’s puppy enthusiasm. Mya also adores playing with toys. Her favorite are small tennis balls. She wants her foster parents to throw a ball so she can chase it, bring it back, and start the process over again. This girl says baseball season is here and she wants to help you get your arm into shape!

Mya loves playing in the backyard. She is intensely curious and adventurous. Mya LOVES exploring the backyard and running zoomies across the lawn. Note that Mya is small and therefore will always need her human nearby while she is out (there are instances where hawks or large birds will swoop down and pick up small dogs under 5 pounds, so you will want to be there to protect Mya). We also want to emphasize that your fence must be very secure. Mya is so tiny that she can easily slip under the smallest opening in a fence, so she will need to be in a home with a solid, wooden fenced yard. (No wrought iron or chain link fences). Mya’s forever family will want to have some type of security around the exit door to your home. Mya can be a door darter and may try to scoot out the front door to explore the neighborhood. She is unaware of dangers and could easily get hit by a car!

Mya adores her family. She is friendly and happy. She will follow you around so she does not miss out on any fun. Note she can be a bit of a tripping hazard, so her new family will need to be aware of this. Mya has such high puppy energy that she will spend a few minutes in your lap for love and affection and then it’s back to playing! She enjoys meeting new people and will be a star with all your visitors.

Our vet thinks Mya is about 6 months old. When we got her she was only 4.5 pounds, but she was thin. Our vet thinks her ideal weight is about 5 to 5.5 pounds, so we are slowly getting her to her healthy weight range. The good news is that she loves food. When it’s meal time, all you have to do is let her see her bowl and she is so happy she must jumps in the air! Mya is a lovely tri-color with long legs and perfect ears. We think she may have some min-pin in her (based on her coloring and long legs). She has a grin on her face most of the time.

Mya is very smart and she’s learning more and more every day. She is very good at going potty outside. At night Mya loves to curl up in her bed inside a crate and sleeps the whole night. She is nervous around a harness and leash, so we are slowing working with her on getting comfortable so we can begin to leash train her.

The ideal home for this sweet girl would be a high energy home with a secure wooden fence and big yard to run in … and plenty of tennis balls!! Being so high energy, Mya would also love to have another young dog to play and run around with (applications will not be considered where she would be an only dog). Due to her tiny size, we recommend a home with smaller dogs only (no large dogs). Mya needs a family who can check on her every 4-6 hours (would not be a good fit for a family that works 10-12 hour days.) She would love to live with a work-at-home family as she enjoys activity around the house! There are no children in her foster home, but we believe she would do well with older, mature children (10 and older). With her high energy level, and her uncomfortable nature around a leash, Mya is not apartment appropriate.

Mya is being fostered in the Dallas-Fort Worth (Texas) area and must be adopted within this area. Our CRT adoption form can be found at: http://www.chihuahua-rescue.com/adoption-application/
