Name: 18Junior Sex: Male Age: 10 years 6 months Status: Available Breed: Chihuahua/Dachshund

Junior is a very friendly guy and even though he is older, he seems to be very spry and in good physical shape. He is fully housetrained which is great for a smaller dog, he has had no accidents while I've been at work. He's barked a couple of times, but stops immediately when told to.

He is very friendly and was skittish for a couple hours, but was quickly comfortable enough for petting, sitting on the couch with me, and has been sleeping on the bed. He LOVES people, is indifferent to my other dog, and is actually somewhat afraid of my cat and avoids her.

He will probably be fairly easy to integrate into someone's family and life, and I think he would be an appropriate fit for a large range of lifestyles and experience levels. He only likes to be outside for a few minutes at a time and will try to get back in the house ASAP, so he would likely do just fine in an apartment with regular walks.

His drawbacks are mild - he likes to be under your feet while you're in the kitchen looking for scraps, he is somewhat clingy (which might also just be feeling insecure right now), and he is somewhat picky about his food. He also gets cold easily so a sweater in the winter would be good.

All in all he will be a great, affectionate dog for someone and will be a pretty easy keeper.

Breed: Chihuahua/Pug

Sex: Spayed female
Size: approx. 10 lbs

Kids: Yes

House trained: Work in progress
Adoption Fee: $250.00

Piper is a spunky little (10 pound) girl who is ready for her forever home. Piper has ALOT of energy and really loves to be around other dogs, for both of these reasons she will need to find a home that has 1 or more dogs. Piper gets along with everyone. She is currently living with kids, dogs, and cats. She plays fine with big and small dogs. She likes the outside cats and will respect them but if they run she will chase. She chases because she thinks it’s fun not because she is aggressive. She stays on our property and is learning to come when called. Piper is actively being potty trained. Her adoptive home will have to continue with a strict schedule so that Piper can succeed. She is learning about boundaries but doesn’t totally get it yet. Piper loves to play with toys and chew on bones but her favorite thing to do is wrestle with her foster fur brother. Piper doesn’t love to be crated, if she is in the crate by herself and can’t see her humans she panics a little. If she can see you while in her crate by herself then she is ok. If she is crated with another dog she is also ok. Piper sleeps in the crate with her fur brother all night. Continued crate training for Piper is really important. Piper truly is so full of love, she is so resilient, tail always wagging, always happy to see you, fearless, adorable, and really quirky. She is vocal, mostly when she plays. She is just so happy she can’t help it. She does bark if she hears something like the door, but can be easily corrected and will stop. Piper is looking forward to meeting you.

Name: 21Petrini Sex: Male Age: 7 months Status: Available Breed: Terrier/Mix

***PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST, AND INFORMATION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION***

Petrini is a 9 month old chihuahua/terrier mix weighing about 6 lbs. For a puppy he is completely house broken. He sleeps in his crate overnight after taking a bit to get settled in but prefers to sleep with you. He plays with all dogs but hasn't been around cats but don't think that would be a problem. He is still a little shy when meeting someone new but warms to them quickly. He's been around young kids at the park and loves to get petted! Petrini loves to walk and greets other dogs well. We've left him and our dog alone in the garage with access to the dog run thru a doggy door and he's been fine with the exception of dumping his food bowl on the dog bed!! Guess that's his way of saying he wasn't happy being left!! He learning basic commands like sit. Petrini doesn't like for his owner to get out of his sight and has to see what you are doing. He is getting use to car rides. He is a little anxious at first but settles down quickly. I think he would be ok as an only dog or with another. His energy level is medium as he likes to cuddle if you are sitting.

Name: 21Ricky Sex: Male Age: 11 months Status: Available Breed: German Shepherd Dog/Mix

***PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST, AND INFORMATION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION***

I‘m Ricky, a very sweet Shepherd Husky mix, 60 lbs and about 10 months old. I am a Big Puppy; everything is new and I'm still learning to be brave. I am nervous around people and will need a patient, special adopter, to socialize me and a secure, fenced yard.

I have a schedule to go outside to go potty. I go in my crate at night and at nap times and I will sleep up to 9 hours at night. I need a home with no cats and would do best with older kids. I hope to find someone who will let me build up my confidence and trust in people and really let me come out of my shell.

Name: 21Savemart Sex: Male Age: 2 years 0 months Status: Available Breed: Poodle/Mix

***PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST, AND INFORMATION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION***

Save Mart is a two year old terrier mix. He weighs 15 lbs. He is is doing well with crate training. He will sleep for 8 hours quietly in the crate at night and make noise when he is ready to wake up. We are working on longer periods at night. He has been doing well with potty training and hasn’t had an accident for several days. He does not yet indicate he needs to go out, but s successful with a potty training schedule. He rides great in the car and walks well in a leash. He currently walks at a pretty slow pace. I’m not sure he had been on the leash often as it seemed very new to him. He is great with other dogs and interested, but respectful of cats. He plays with other dogs at their level. He will not push it too far with dogs that don’t want to play, but will play with other playful dogs. He is such a loving dog. We call him “noodle” because he lays in your arms and snuggles and can get comfortable in any position. He loves attention and wants to be where you the people are. He seems to love all people, big and small. He is really loving and gentle to my 6&8 year old children. He is such a great dog!

Name: 21Sparky Sex: Male Age: 3 years 0 months Status: Available Breed: Chihuahua/Mix

***PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST, AND INFORMATION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION***




Foster mom Shelley here with a “tail” of a big, fun personality in a small, portable package! Sparky – a chihuahua/terrier mix about 3 years old – needed only a day of rest after coming to my house to recharge. He came out of his shell right away and quickly became the life of the party! Want a good laugh? Just play with Sparky and a squeak toy!

Given his easy-going nature, we think Sparky was generally well loved and cared for before FDR rescue. He is playful, trusting, responds to his name, micro-chipped, neutered, and current with vaccines. Typical of terriers, Sparky loves the company of people (adults and kids) and other small dogs. He sees a squirrel, he chases. He smells a skunk trail, he follows it. He is a busy guy! Typical of chihuahuas, Sparky yaps when the doorbell rings and a new person enters the room, but quickly quiets down after a sniff. He loves to cuddle and burrow into fluffy bedding. He likes his crate and he likes the human bed.

Sparky walks beautifully on a leash and has good greeting habits with other dogs. One thing’s for sure: He prefers smaller playmates such as those his size or only slightly bigger. When faced with a dog that towers over him, Sparky gives a warning growl then retreats to his handler. Another note is that this little “Houdini” can escape a collar; he needs to wear a fitted harness and his human needs to keep a firm grip.

We would also like to try to get the dog into a home with another dog.

Name: 21Squirrel Sex: Female Age: 2 years 2 months Status: Available Breed: Chihuahua/Mix

***PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST, AND INFORMATION PRIOR TO SUBMITTING AN APPLICATION***

**Would be best in a home with another dog**

Meet Squirrel
Breed: Chihuahua mix
Age: 1.5 years old
Sex: Spayed female
Size: approx. 7 lbs

Other Dogs: Yes
Kids: Yes
Cats/Small Animals: No
House trained: Yes
Adoption Fee: $250.00 (additional $5.00 fee if payment is made with a credit/debit card)


Meet Squirrel! This girl is around a year and a half old, and we are guessing she is a chihuahua terrier mix. Squirrel is roughly 7 pounds, but don’t let her weight fool you what she doesn’t have in size she makes up with in personality.
Squirrel loves other dogs, and would play all day if you let her. She would do best in a forever home, that has a resident dog or dogs who will play with her but also appropriately correct her. Some dogs find her play style to be over the top at times. In the morning she loves to run zoomies all over the backyard with the doggies in her foster home. She loves spending time outside, chill-axing in the sun. Squirrel would do best in a home without a cat, as she tends to chase her foster families dog savvy cat.
Squirrel is doing well with her crate training. She sleeps overnight in her crate, and also gets fed her meals in her crate. Potty training is also going well, in her forever home her adopters will need to continue a consistent schedule of letting her outside. She also walks well on her leash....
Squirrel has a lot of energy, she is definitely still a puppy when it comes to energy level and would benefit from physical exercise, but also mental stimulation. She loves playing with her toys, running around in the backyard, and playing with other dogs.
She is a fun, spunky, happy girl. Squirrel will happily cuddle up on the couch with you, or run around in the backyard. Squirrel will need an adoptive family who will be patient, continuing her training, and setting rules/boundaries. She is looking for a family to call her own, is that you?
