Story
Leia is an 8-year-old loving Chihuahua mix. She recently arrived at Butte Humane Society due to a change in living circumstances. She is an absolute lovebug and enjoys being with people so much. She has lived with other dogs temporarily and did fine but prefers a slower paced home with lots of lap time. Leia will still get out and go on adventures with you as long as she gets to snuggle up at the end of the day. She is a perfect companion for a first-time dog owner or someone who wants a light to moderate level of dog energy. Leia is currently in foster care so call or apply to make arrangements to meet her today. All dogs that are adopted from Butte Humane Society come microchipped, spayed or neutered, up to date on vaccines, placed on preventions for heartworm, and flea and tick-borne illnesses. Come down to Butte Humane Society and meet your next family member today!

Story
Meet Gallette; this shy girl is looking for a patient, understanding home. Gallette has known nothing but uncertainty in her young life, finding herself at a high kill shelter, where her life was on the line, to finding sanctuary at a new rescue, with new smells, sounds and dogs. Gallette is misunderstood and confused; she doesn't understand why every human she has started to trust, has handed her off to someone else, where she has to start again. This girl tries her hardest to overcome her fears, but in a noisy rescue environment, it proves hard to do so. If you think you have the time, patience, and understanding to give a young dog, with so much love to give and receive, please consider applying to meet and or foster Gallette today!January 18, 2025, 3:38 pm

Story
Meet Cupcake! Cupcake has very obviously been through a rough start to life, and it shows with her cowardice towards people; Cupcake is scared of people when they approach her and/or speak loudly around her. She does well with other dogs, and prefers to be another dog, or a pack of dogs where she can feel safe and secure. Cupcake would do great as an "alarm dog" alerting you to visitors and/or trespassers that enter your home and/or property. She knows how to use a doggy door, and will adjust to routines easily. Cupcake would do best in a home without small children, so that she is not chased around, causing undue stress and possible aggression. If you could use an alarm dog to add to your pack, apply to adopt Cupcake today!   Apply to adopt by clicking on the link below http://www.wagsandwhiskerspetrescue.com/adopt.html Thank you so much for looking into wags and whiskers for your next family member.

Meet Keen! This adorable boy quickly became a staff favorite, with his adorable underbite, playful mannerisms, and his insistence on receiving love and pets. Keen will use his mouth to hold onto you, until you give in and give him attention and/or pick him up. This boy is such an attention hog, that he will follow you around, nipping at your pant legs, shirt hem, finger tips, or anything he can get to, to show you how much he is waiting for your attention to be given to him. If you are looking for a special pet, that makes getting lonely nearly impossible, apply to meet Keen today!   Apply to adopt by clicking on the link below http://www.wagsandwhiskerspetrescue.com/adopt.html Thank you so much for looking into wags and whiskers for your next family member.

Story
Mac is a young two-year old male black with white furnishings male dog. He is 50% Cattle Dog and 50% German Shepherd - per Embark DNA. He is excellent on leash but has NO recall off leash - he is high energy, with a fabulous personality. Dislikes cats but is bonded to Flea who is a two-year old pure bred Chihuahua(you will have Mac and Flea, not Mac and Cheese). Flea worships the ground that Mac walks on but he also does not allow himself to be pushed around. He lives to sit on someone's lap and be cuddled when he is not following Mac. These two boys were strays and their owner has never been found. It is time for these two gorgeous boys to go to a home where they are loved and appreciated for their temperaments, intelligence and great looks. Mac weighs about 60 pounds and Flea weighs 4 pounds.

Hello, I'm Henri. I'm have a sweet, friendly, and gentle spirit. I'm mellow and love nothing more than to cuddle. I'm a lap dog at heart, and I promise to be loyal to you. I enjoy the quiet, so a peaceful home is my dream. I don't ask for much, just a cozy lap to snuggle on and a quiet place to call home. I do have to take some meds so I don't have seizures, but they're just $20 a month and they work really well! I haven't had a seizure since taking them. I promise, I'm worth every penny. I've got so much love to give and I'm ready to share it with you. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion, I'm your guy. Adopt me and let's start our forever friendship. Breed: Chihuahua mix Sex: Neutered Male Age: 6 years Size: 15 lbs Arrival Date: 1-13-24 Henri is up to date on shots, neutered, heart worm tested negative and microchipped.

Meet Rosco, a five year old chihuahua mix. Rosco is sweet and loving pup who struggles with trust and can be shy and fearful around new people.  He is looking for a patient and understanding adopter who will give him the time and space he needs to feel safe and come out of his shell.  With kindness and patience, Rosco will blossom into the loyal companion he's meant to be.  Rosco has only been with his foster family for a couple of weeks, but he has already formed a strong bond with his foster mom.  He is more reserved with the other family members but is making progress every day.  He would thrive in a calm home with older children and small dogs, where he can continue to build confidence at his own pace. Rosco is potty trained and is using the doggie door. He is good with other small dogs, loves to play with his toys and also walks nicely on the leash.  Breed: Chihuahua mix Sex: Neutered Male Age: 5 years Size: 12 lbs Arrival Date: 1-25-25 Rosco is up to date on shots, neutered, heartworm tested negative and microchipped. If you would like to meet Rosco, please email ResQpaws at info@resqpaws.org or call 530-713-9079 for more information. You can fill out an application on our website, resqpaws.org.

Meet Rascal! This adorable dude surely lives up to his name! Rascal is a young dog, that loves to play and roughhouse. Rascal can be a little possessive over his toys and items (can you blame him, after having to share everything for so long, growing up in a rescue?) but he's young, and should handle training well, as long as you are willing to dedicate a little time to it. Rascal gets along great with other dogs, and he loves people, especially once he really starts to trusts you! If you are looking for an adorable face to add to your family photos, and don't mind putting in a little bit of work, apply to meet the adorable Rascal today!December 18, 2024, 5:50 pm
