Story
Meet Myles – The Retired Professor of Chihuahua Studies If you’ve ever wished for a dog that looks like he’s been through at least three world wars, has a resting “back in my day” face, and could double as a grumpy-but-sweet cartoon character, congratulations—you’ve just found your match. Meet *Myles*, a 14-year-old crusty chihuahua who will make you smile without even trying. Myles isn’t here to run marathons, learn TikTok dances, or help you “find yourself” on a hiking trail. Nope. He’s here to be exactly what he is: a charmingly decrepit old man who likes his meals on time, his naps uninterrupted, and his head scratched *just so*. He’ll bark when you’re preparing dinner (his version of Uber Eats tracking your order), wander around the house like he’s looking for the TV remote, and cough occasionally like your great-uncle who refuses to give up cigars—the result of trachea damage, but rest assured, he’s managing just fine. Let’s be real: Myles is not housebroken. He tries, sometimes. But mostly, he’s a “when you gotta go, you gotta go” kind of guy. He doesn’t like crates (and really, at 14, who wants to live in a cage?), but he’ll happily snooze on a dog bed… with a bonus surprise waiting for you in the morning. He’s not a velcro dog, but he is sweet, chill, and occasionally accepts pets and head scratches like a king granting an audience. He’s hard of hearing, has cataracts, and creaks like an old rocking chair—but that just makes him all the more endearing. Myles is looking for a quiet, understanding home with someone who can appreciate the humor and heart of living with a senior chihuahua who’s basically the canine equivalent of that old man who falls asleep in his recliner with the TV on. If you’re ready to give this little legend the retirement he deserves (and can laugh at the occasional accident), Myles will reward you with daily doses of pure, senior joy.

Story
Meet Mabel 💕 Mabel is a senior sweetheart who is learning how to navigate the world in a whole new way. She appears to have recently lost most of her vision and can now only see shadows, which can make the world feel like a pretty big, scary place for a small dog. But even when she’s unsure, Mabel does her very best to be brave. She’s bravest when she has people nearby cheering her on. A gentle voice, a loving touch, and reassuring cuddles go a long way with this little lady. Mabel absolutely adores being pet and held, and she soaks up affection like it’s her favorite thing in the world. Mabel is looking for a patient, kind-hearted home that understands she’s adjusting to a new way of living. With love, consistency, and compassion, she’ll continue to build confidence and learn that she’s safe. In return, Mabel will give you endless sweetness, quiet companionship, and a heart full of love. If you have room in your heart — and your arms — for a very special girl, Mabel would love nothing more than to find her person. 🐾💗
