He came from a shelter they believed had been hit by a car he had a broken pelvis and injured leg, but we are fairly sure he was beaten. He was terrified of anything like a broom and pees and poops himself.  He's getting better every day. He needs a quiet home, cats are okay, but no male dogs. He can be a sweet boy but wants to trust but we can see it in his eyes as he sizes up every situation. He loves playing with the female dogs in his foster home and can spend hours outside just running and playing.  He weighs about 9 pounds, is microchipped and has been fully vaccinated. Neuter to be announced still recovering from a broken pelvis and injured leg. Please consider adopting a senior dog. They are passed over routinely in shelters and Chihuahua senior dogs who are black are then the number 2 breed most euthanized in shelters. Adopt don't shop! ##1371753##

Story
Gigi is 4 years old. I got her right before I gave birth to my daughter. She has grown up with 2 toddlers. She has never biten anyone. She is sweet and loving but needs lots of attention; more than I can give her. She has been in the household since she was 6 weeks old. She is house-broken. Gigi needs room to run and be active. She is high energy. She loves and needs to be loved and around people as much as possible. She loves to cuddle and play. When around other dogs she is definitely more interested in the humans. She has been on many stays with the Rover app around other dogs and Ive never received complaints.

Story
Meet Leo: The Gentle Basenji Terrier Mix Introduction Meet Leo, a sensitive and observant male Basenji Terrier mix born on November 2, 2022. With his gentle nature and soulful eyes, Leo is looking for a compassionate family who will provide the understanding and patience he needs to thrive. Despite a challenging past, Leo is slowly learning to trust and is eager to find a forever home where he can feel safe and loved. Leo's Personality Leo is a remarkable blend of the Basenji's diligence and the Terrier's alertness. His unique personality makes him a special companion for those who appreciate a thoughtful and gentle dog. Here are some key traits that define Leo: Alert and Cautious: Leo is always aware of his surroundings and approaches new situations with a bit of apprehension. This quality makes him an excellent watchdog, though his past experiences may have contributed to his initial shyness. Calm and Relaxed When Safe: Leo's true nature shines when he feels secure. In a nurturing environment, he is calm, relaxed, and exudes happiness, making him a comforting presence in any home. Shy but Warming Up: Initially shy, Leo is starting to feel more comfortable around people. With time and gentle interactions, he is beginning to open up and show his affectionate side. Fears and Training Needs: Leo has a particular fear of walking canes and requires a gentle approach in training. Building confidence and trust has been a focus, and he is gradually accepting body handling with positive reinforcement. Basenji Terrier Mix Breed Overview The Basenji Terrier mix combines the unique qualities of both breeds, resulting in a dog that is intelligent, alert, and loyal: Size: Small to medium, typically weighing between 20 to 30 pounds Lifespan: 12 to 14 years Coat: Short and low-maintenance, Basenjis are known for being "barkless" dogs, though they can vocalize in other ways Temperament: Independent, intelligent, and often reserved, they are known for their cleanliness and curiosity What to Expect When Adopting Leo Adopting a rescue dog like Leo can be a deeply rewarding experience. Here are some considerations for prospective families: Patience and Understanding : Leo may need time to adjust to his new surroundings. Patience and understanding are crucial as he learns to trust and feel secure in his new home. Gentle Training : A gentle approach to training is essential for Leo. Positive reinforcement techniques will help him build confidence and learn basic commands. Building Confidence : Encouraging Leo with loving interactions and gradual exposure to new experiences will help him become a well-adjusted and confident dog. Creating a Safe Haven : A calm and secure environment is vital for Leo’s well-being. Provide him with a quiet space where he can retreat and feel safe. Owner Responsibilities Bringing Leo into your home is a commitment filled with mutual benefits. Here are some responsibilities to consider: Safe Environment: Create a safe and comfortable space for Leo, free from hazards and with cozy spots for him to relax. Regular Veterinary Care: Keep up with Leo's vaccinations, check-ups, and any necessary medical treatments. Balanced Diet: Provide a nutritious diet suited to Leo's size and activity level, alongside fresh water at all times. Grooming Needs: Although his coat requires minimal grooming, regular brushing will keep it healthy and shiny. Love and Attention: Spend quality time with Leo, offering the love and attention he craves. He will return your care with loyalty and affection. Are you ready to offer Leo the loving home he deserves? This gentle Basenji Terrier mix is eager to join a family who will nurture his growth and celebrate his unique personality.

Story
Meet Penny, a 6-year-old Basenji mix with a heart full of love and a spirited personality. Originally from Mexico, Penny made her way to California in December 2020 and was quickly adopted. However, she was returned when her previous family found out they were expecting a baby, and Penny wasn’t comfortable around the little one. Penny is a sweet and loving dog who thrives in the right environment. She’s fully house trained, never has accidents inside, and is a joy to have around. Penny enjoys long walks and playing with her toys, but she also loves relaxing and taking naps next to her favorite people. While Penny is not good with other dogs, cats, or kids, she is an ideal companion in a home where she can be the sole focus of attention. She’s working on her reactivity to other dogs on walks, so a patient family willing to help her through her anxiety would be the perfect fit. If you’re looking for a loyal and affectionate dog who will shower you with love and appreciate a calm, dog-free home, Penny is ready to become a cherished member of your family.
