Story
Ned is a 6-year-old Chihuahua mix who came to us as a transfer from the Humane Society of Yuma. When he first arrived, Ned was very scared and shut down, unsure of the world around him. With time, patience, and kindness, he’s begun to blossom—and what a sweet soul he is.Now that he feels safer, Ned is showing off his gentle, affectionate personality. He may be a bit quiet, but he has the cutest way of asking for love: he’ll softly nudge his snout into your hand when he wants to be pet. It’s his subtle way of saying, “I trust you.” Ned is the definition of a lap dog. He thrives on soft, gentle affection and would happily spend all day on his favorite persons lap.Ned would thrive in a calm, quiet home with people who understand that love doesn’t have to be loud. He’s looking for a family who will give him the time and space to continue building confidence—and who will happily treat him like the king he truly is.If you’re looking for a loyal, tender-hearted companion to share peaceful moments with, Ned might just be your perfect match.

Story
Constantine is a 3-year-old, 21-pound Chihuahua mix with a heart full of love just waiting to be shared. He came to us from the Humane Society of Yuma and is now ready for his next chapter—finding a forever home of his own.At first, Constantine can be a little shy and cautious, but don’t let that fool you. With a bit of sweet talking and by getting down to his level, he quickly warms up and transforms into the most affectionate little guy. Once he trusts you, he’s all about the love—face kisses, snuggles, and being right by your side soaking up attention.Constantine came in with another dog named Athena. While they don’t need to be adopted together, they make a lovely pair for anyone looking to welcome two dogs into their home.He is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on all his vaccinations, so he’s ready to go home as soon as you are.If you’re looking for a loyal, loving companion who just needs a moment to show you his true colors, Constantine may be your perfect match. Now all he needs is a forever home to call his own

Story
Taco is currently in a foster home. Please email our foster coordinator kris.gurka@foothillsanimal.org to arrange a meeting to see Taco. Taco’s journey hasn’t been an easy one. He came to us from a hoarding and abandonment case in Yuma, where he didn’t get the love, care, or socialization every dog deserves. Understandably, this sweet boy started out very shy and unsure of the world — but beneath that timid exterior is a truly loyal, affectionate, and gentle spirit just waiting for the right person to help him blossom.After spending time in a loving foster home, Taco learned that people can be kind and life can be safe. Once he trusts you, he becomes the sweetest little shadow — cuddling up to you for TV time, gently pawing his bowl when he’s ready for more food, or snoozing happily in a sunny spot by the window (his absolute favorite place!).Taco is still learning the ropes of being a dog in a home:-He’s working on house training and doing well with frequent outdoor breaks and using belly bands.-He’s not destructive, doesn’t chew furniture, and sleeps peacefully through the night.-He’s not crate-trained, but does well in a blocked-off safe space.-He’s a quiet, sensitive soul — loud noises and new people can scare him, but he never shows aggression. Instead, he’ll just back away or give a big yawn to calm himself.-Taco is learning to walk on a leash — gentle encouragement, patience, and a loose lead help him feel secure.-He knows “come” and responds to soft voices and gentle gestures.Some of Taco’s favorite things?-Peanut butter and plain yogurt-Hard chew toys and bones-Warm sunshine and soft beds-Quiet time with people he trustsTaco will do best in a calm, patient home — ideally with someone experienced in helping shy dogs build confidence. He would love a secure yard to explore and a gentle routine he can count on. His adopter will need to be aware of keeping doors and gates open, as well as fitting him for the correct harness/collars when it is time to go for walks. *Taco would do best in a home with no children* He is wary of men at first, but would likely warm up. He’s been through a lot, but Taco is ready to keep moving forward — one careful, brave step at a time — toward the forever family who will finally show him what it means to be home.Could you be the one to show Taco the world isn’t so scary after all?

Athena is a sweet and gentle girl who came to us from the Humane Society of Yuma and is now patiently waiting for her forever home.

Once she’s comfortable, her loving personality shines through and she’s happy to be close to her people and enjoy quiet affection.She would do well in a home that understands she may need a moment to settle in and blossom at her own pace. In return, Athena will reward you with loyalty, companionship, and a gentle presence by your side.Athena is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on her vaccinations, so she’s ready to head home whenever her perfect family finds her.If you’re looking for a calm, loving companion with a sweet soul, Athena might be the one you’ve been waiting for
