We had a woman comment on Pablo’s post yesterday that he had not been adopted because he was old and had bad teeth and health issues. Comments like these hurt a senior dog's ability to get adopted.

We want to assure you Pablo's teeth are good because he had dental and we addressed any and all health issues.

This adorable little dog has come so far. He was absolutely terrified in the shelter and in danger of being euthanized. Elk Grove shelter reached out to us over 9 months ago and he really would love to have a home of his own. His foster Retta has been absolutely fantastic but 9 months fostering is a long time.

Pablo is a 10-year-old Chihuahua that I've been fostering since January. When Gunter's Legacy first took him to the vet, they were told his teeth were in a bad state. He had a number of them removed so has some trouble chewing big items, but he loves to try anyway.

He is a sweet little gentleman who loves to sit as near as he can to his people and loves to snuggle under the covers with them at bedtime. He is p*epad trained (but sometimes lifts his leg to mark when he is in a new place, so I occasionally use a belly band on him). As we live in a two-story house, and the stairs are dark at night, I generally keep him in a belly band at night because I don't want him to go down the stairs in the dark.

I can almost say he is potty trained as he will bark at the door if he can't get the doggie door opened. He's not sure of how hard to hit the doggie door because sometimes it comes back and hits him in the face. Now he doesn't hit it as hard as he should so he keeps hitting at it until it moves and he sticks his head through. However, I've noticed lately he does go in and out throughout the day without too much trouble so that is why I say almost sure he's potty trained.

He is very food-oriented and is learning to wait his turn, sit, and run after his treats (he jumps on them to catch them).

Pablo makes an unusual sound when he feels lost and can't find you - like a baby crying. He also likes to drink water from the shower floor. He sometimes stares at you, then looks at the shower to tell you to turn it on. He doesn't like to step into the shower water (or take a bath).

Pablo would do best in a settled home without too much distraction. He enjoys meeting new people and would like to find his forever home.

We are baffled as to why Pablo hasn't received any interest, despite his numerous endearing qualities. This captivating 10-year-old Chihuahua has been fostered since January and is eager to find a forever home where he can live out his golden years in comfort and love. Pablo is a sweet and affectionate companion who loves to snuggle up close to his people and receive attention. Although he's faced some dental issues, including the removal of several teeth, he still enjoys attempting to chew on larger items. He's made significant progress with potty training and will bark to signal his need to go outside. Pablo is highly food-motivated and is learning to wait his turn, even catching treats in mid-air. If you're seeking a loyal and loving companion to bring joy and companionship into your life, Pablo is ready to fill that role. He's a lively little gentleman who will quickly capture your heart with his charming personality.

My Michelle is with her sister Diva again. She crossed the rainbow bridge last night. She has been in congestive heart failure for the last few months. And she was doing well and I thought she would last a little bit longer. She got up in the morning. I fed her her breakfast and her medication, she went to the door. I went out with her. She ran around for a few minutes and played and then came back in and went to her bed and under the cover and rolled around on her bed.

Later in the day, as I was preparing her dinner, she got up and went to the door, which is unusual because she usually doesn’t like to go out late. So I went outside with her. She ran down the stairs. She started to run up the walk to the backyard and all of a sudden she just stopped and sat down and looked at me and I knew. I walked over and picked her up and held her tight and I could feel how hard she was breathing her chest was pounding.

I went inside and wrapped her in a blanket and started calling the vet and got the voicemail. I called the emergency vet. They said to come over by the time we walked to the car she was gone.

Michelle and Diva came to Gunter's Legacy Animal Rescue, Inc. three years ago. They were both seniors already. We lost Diva to congestive heart failure as well.

Michele was diva protector whenever somebody would get near her. She would fly out of her bed like a flying squirrel and get in between Diva and whoever was trying to approach her. When diva passed away, Michele was missing her very much and I could see she mourned her.

as time went on, she started to find her footing in life without diva and her personality started to change. She got more friendly. She loved to be outside in the sun, and when she was in the house, she would follow the sun wherever it was from room to room . I don’t have any idea what their history was other than their person passed away. When they came to us both were in pretty rough shape, bad teeth, heart murmurs, and memory tumors, and we took care of it all.

I will miss this little one dearly she like to sleep in the kitchen and she had a giant bed that only she was allowed on and she made sure that everybody knew it. She would watch me as I prepared food or wash the dishes or sweep the floors or mopped , and she never got in the way. Every once in a while when I thought she was feeling blue, I would put her in her stroller and she would sleep next to my bed. She could hear a snoring sound that somehow it gave me comfort. I will miss her snoring, I will miss her flying out of her dog pet, I will miss her chasing the sun, I will miss the little smile she always seem to have on her face, most of all I will miss seeing Michele and Diva. it gives me comfort to think that they are together again watching out for one another.

Frasier and Niles start the day chewing on nylabones in the morning sun, just as we start our day over a cup of coffee or tea. 😂 These handsome boys were neutered and had the last of their puppy shots last Friday. Four months old and available for adoption NOW, they are Chihuahua and Jack Russell terrier mixes. Niles is currently just over 7 lbs and should be about 10 lbs when fully grown. Frasier has a slightly heavier frame and may get to 12 lbs. They are house trained and sleep through the night in a crate together. During the daytime, they love to play with the other dogs in their foster home and enjoy the backyard. What are you waiting for? Fill out our adoption application at https://www.gunterslegacy.org/adopt and you can enjoy that special puppy smell! 😊

Say hello to Niles, a cuddly 15-week old Chihuahua and Jack Russell Terrier mix. He seems to always want something in his mouth and will pick up a stuffy, a stick, or a ball as he heads outside to go potty or play. Niles also enjoys playing tug or wrestling with his brother Frasier and “Auntie” Gidget at his foster home. He talks with cute “aroos” when he wants to share an exciting tidbit with you.

Niles is house trained and will go outside to potty, but he also knows to use the p*e pad indoors if needed. Next week he’ll have his final puppy shots, be neutered, and will be ready for his new home! If you’re interested in adopting Niles (or maybe both Niles and his brother, Frasier?) please complete our application at www.gunterslegacy.org/adopt

Meet puppy Frasier, an active 15-week old Chihuahua and Jack Russell Terrier mix. He always seems to be on the move! He loves to chase his “Auntie” Gidget at his foster home and wrestle or play tug with his brother Niles, but he also enjoys cuddling and belly rubs.

Frasier is house trained and knows to go potty outside. He’s completing his puppy vaccinations and being neutered next week, and will be ready for his new home!

Thank you a rescue was found.

Can anyone foster? Currently in Sacramento.

Onyx is a very sweet pure-bred French bulldog, very quick learner and well trained. Will not turn down any loving and is very playful. Onyx is obsessed with water play! He is crate and leash trained, is also trained to walk off leash. Although as a frenchie he can be stubborn sometimes, his ability to listens to commands very well and his sweetness make him a great family dog. Onyx grew up with our daughter since she was 18 months so he is also familiar with small children. He has always been the only pet and hasn't been socialized much to other pets, however, on walks he does seem eager to meet other dogs. Onyx is up to date on vaccinations. Not neutered.

We are delighted to welcome Fran to our adopters family and celebrate her adoption of Itsy. Additionally, we express our appreciation to Vangie and her family for their care of Itsy and wish them well in their new home.

16/07/2024

UPDATE: Thank you, Linda, for promptly taking Niles to the vet and ensuring he received assistance. Niles is now back home, enjoying a chicken dinner while his brother Frazier watched. The vet will contact Linda tomorrow to discuss the X-ray results, as they noticed something in his stomach.

Please send positive thoughts and prayers for Niles, who may have ingested a bad walnut, leading to vomiting, difficulty keeping water down, and lethargy. He is currently at Silverado Veterinary Clinic in Napa. We appreciate any donations via Venmo (), Zelle ([email protected]), or PayPal (PayPal.me/gunterslegacy). Thank you.

✨✨✨Itsy!✨✨✨

Little Itsy is, to all of our surprise, still available for adoption! How could this sweetie have spent a whole year in a shelter without getting adopted, only to still not get adopted in rescue?

Her foster says she barks very little and enjoys laying in the sun, taking short walks, and being with her people. At one point Itsy was taught to use a doggie door, and she will go outside on her own if a door is open.

Itsy is a catch who is learning quickly what life outside the shelter can look like. You can apply to adopt this cutie pie here: www.gunterslegacy.org/adopt

Frasier and Niles

Brothers Frasier and Niles are ready for prime time in a loving home! This pair of precious pups are 12 week old Jack Russell terrier/Chihuahua mixes from the same litter. They are doing great with housetraining! They sleep through the night together in a crate and go outside to potty. They will also use a p*e pad, but prefer to go outside where they can also enjoy a bit of chase time and find interesting sticks. 😄

Niles is an avid snuggler and once he’s picked up he melts against his person. Frasier needs a moment to assess the situation, and then he’s all in for belly rubs and cuddling. They are being fostered in a home with other dogs, but we’re unsure how they do with cats.

Frasier and Niles will be neutered and available for adoption in early August, but we are accepting adoption applications now. Prior to adoption they will also have completed their puppy shots and be microchipped. These brothers have a deep bond and it would be lovely to find them a home together. If you’re interested in Frasier or Niles (or both!) please complete our application at www.gunterslegacy.org/adopt

🐾🐾🐾🐾 Pablo 🐾🐾🐾🐾
Spunky little Pablo is ready to claim your lap and your heart! When he was first taken into GLAR, he had terrible problems going on in his mouth, including several bad teeth and a large (and luckily benign!) growth. Now Pablo is thriving and while he has trouble chewing some big items, he loves to try anyway.

Pablo is a 10 year old Chihuahua and a sweet little gentleman who loves to sit as near as he can to his people and snuggle under the covers at night. He is p*e pad trained and is learning to use a doggie door.

He is very food oriented and is learning to wait his turn, sit, and run after his treats (he jumps on them to catch them). When he feels lost and can't find you, he makes an unusual sound and sounds like a baby crying!

Pablo has been fostered with other dogs. He would do best in a settled home without too much distraction. He enjoys meeting new people and would really really like to find his forever home.
