Posted Breed: Shih Tzu (medium coat). Introducing PRINCESS, a delightful, 11 pound, 9 year young, purebred Shih Tzu. Princess required surgery to remove both her eyes due to chronic dry eye that caused her eyelids to eyelids to split. But don't let her blindness fool you! She is a spunky, playful, fun dog who loves to explore. Princess lived with another senior dog prior to rescue and it is obvious that she really enjoys the companionship of other calm dogs - laying with them and snuggling together. Despite losing her sight, she is doing very well in her foster home. She healed quickly and nicely after surgery. Princess is housebroken and will let you know when she has to go outside. She does need supervision while out for her safety but does great and does her duty and comes back to return inside. She is the sweetest passive pooch and would make an ideal companion for a senior person or couple offering a calmer, quieter home. Princess received a donated "Muffin's Halo" to help her with her transition as a blind dog. This halo will be provided to the adopter to assist Princess in feeling out her new home - doors, furniture, walking areas, etc. The halo provides a safety halo area around her head so as she is figuring out the layout of the new home, her face is protected. This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, spayed, inoculated against diseases, dewormed, tested for heartworm disease and tick-borne diseases plus put on monthly preventatives, and microchipped. In addition, she underwent a double enucleation surgery to remove her eyes.

Posted Breed: Chihuahua (long coat). Oh my goodness, this little one is adorable. ODIE is a 6 month old, 5-6 pound, Chihuahua mix. He is a very sweet and handsome puppy who loves people - big and small, young and old. He loves to be cuddled and is very playful. Odie gets along very well with the foster family's small dog; he's not too sure about bigger dogs but he's being exposed to a medium sized dog and he's cautious but ok. Odie would make a great companion for someone wanting a snuggly dog. Typical of Chihuahuas, Odie is protective of his people and will bark at strangers. His adopter will need to work on this behavior and expose him to more people and sights by consistently taking him for walks around town. Odie is crated when his foster family leave the house. He is almost housebroken, but will need an adopter willing to continue working on this as well as other basic training; he does use pee pads as well as go outside for potty breaks. He is a young pup requiring a dedicated person to teach him how to be a great little Chihuahua! This cutie has been examined by a licensed veterinarian, neutered, inoculated, dewormed, tested for heartworm disease and tick-borne diseases and placed on monthly preventative, plus microchipped.

Posted Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (short coat). “Hey, you see me, right?” Oh goodness - how cute is Penny, a 1 year old, female, Chihuahua mix, weighing about 15 pounds. Her foster mom says she is SO sweet! Penny has a lot of personality and energy, which is appropriate for such a young dog. She actually likes to hang in her crate if you’re in the room with her but she’s not a fan of being left alone inside of it so her foster mom is trying to help her be more comfortable. Otherwise she’s quiet and just likes to run around the house and sit in my lap. Penny absolutely looooves to play with other dogs, especially her foster mom’s dog - they are best buddies. She is very active and likes to chew and rip up toys. She continues to be afraid of new people visiting the house and will bark and growl (fearful) and then runs away from them. She will need time to acclimate to her adopter’s family/home AND will benefit from some work with trainer to help her feel more comfortable. Penny is housetrained and has learned how to sit on command. She’s one smart cookie! Penny is approved for households with adults. She’d benefit from a fenced in yard; she has great recall and will comes inside immediately when her foster mom calls her name. She would do best in a household with another small, younger dog who would enjoy an active playmate. This dog has been examined by a licensed veterinarian, spayed, inoculated, tested for heartworm disease and tick-borne diseases, placed on monthly preventative, and microchipped.

Posted Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Introducing Zoey, a loving, a 3-4 year old, 55 pound Pit Bull Terrier mix. This sweet special girl has had a rough past but she is now ready for a committed adopter. She is considered a "special needs dog" because she has allergies and requires a specific diet AND an informed owner who will be dedicated to her needs. Zoey is incredibly sweet and loves her humans. Her one favorite thing - going for walks. She is pretty active so daily walks and play time in the yard is great for her. Once back home from her walks, she really enjoys snuggling with her foster dad. She doesn't have much interest in playing with toys. Zoey was on the run as a stray for a couple weeks so we don't know what all she encountered, but she is dog selective; despite her having lived with dogs in her foster home, she remains selective so we are seeking adoptive homes where she will be the only dog in the home. Zoe has the happiest wiggle but and gives the best big kisses. She has that perfect Pitty smile and will gladly show it off with lots of loves. She cannot live with cats - she is allergic to them (in addition to a variety of other things). This beautiful girl has been examined by licensed veterinarians, spayed, inoculated against diseases, tested for heartworm disease and tick-borne diseases and placed on monthly preventatives, plus microchipped. In addition, Zoey has gone through some allergy testing.

Posted Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed (long coat). This adorable little girl is BAMBI, a 5 year old, 6-7 pound, long coated Chihuahua.

Bambi is playful with dogs her size and has been fine with medium sized dogs if they are respectful and give her space. She is housebroken and crate trained. Bambi enjoys going out to the yard for bathroom breaks and for playing with the other dogs. This dog has been examined by a licensed veterinarian, spayed, inoculated against diseases, tested for heartworm disease and tick-borne diseases and placed on preventative, plus microchipped.

Posted Breed: Dutch Shepherd / Golden Retriever / Mixed (medium coat). Introducing BELLA, a beautiful mixed breed dog (possibly a Dutch Shepherd and Retriever mix), who is around 3 years old and currently weighing about 60 pounds. Bella has a beautiful brindle coat that has long fringes of soft fur. Bella is a well mannered, loving dog, who has a calm disposition. Bella has been respectful and gentle, but true to a protective breed, she is initially cautious of people she doesn't know. Bella had previously lived with children between 8 and 13 years old successfully. We think Bella would do best as an only dog since that is what she's used to, but she has been OK around calm dogs. Bella does not require crating when people leave the home. She enjoys one on one attention with her family and enjoys cuddling on the sofa or laying near you on her dog bed. Beautiful Bella is smart and would do well with an adopter who would enjoy teaching her more commands, taking her for daily walks, and playing with her in the fenced yard. This dog has been examined by a licensed veterinarian, spayed, microchipped, provided inoculations, plus tested for heartworm disease and tick borne diseases.
