Jack is eager to learn and is currently in a board-and-train program. He is crate and potty-trained. He is currently learning basic manners, commands, and socializing while living with a trainer in a home with her two dogs and a cat. Jack has had a difficult and challenging journey. He was surrendered to Every Pet's Dream Rescue in great pain. His backstory is unknown. Our vets did everything they could to help him, but unfortunately, after his first surgery failed, his back leg had to be amputated. Jack can be vocal at times when startled and was most likely not socialized as a puppy. He is currently working on these fears. While at the rescue, Jack learned to adapt as an amputee, his new living situation with several other dogs and a cat. While here, he became besties with two little rescue dogs. Jack is energetic, likes to play with little dogs, loves to play fetch, go for short walks, and settle in on the couch for a cuddle or snuggle. Jack loves the simple things in life, like belly rubs, ear scratches, lots of stuffed toys, and people. Jack would do best as an only dog or a home with a small, playful dog. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Jack is a sweet, loyal, and loving companion. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 Jack is searching for a foster home or foster-to-adopt when he graduates from training at the end of the year. &#226&#157&#164&#239&#184&#143 If you're looking for a new best friend, Jack might be the dog for you!

Story

Leia is a friendly, full-of-personality dog who loves attention and loves to explore. Energy Level? Medium/Low House trained? Yes, mostly Describe how they are on leash? Leia is mostly fantastic on a leash--she can bark at other dogs, and prefers a sniff walk (i.e very slow exploration) over a walk for exercise. Describe how they are with other dogs? She needs to take a bit of time to relax around new dogs. She is a bit bossy and would not do well with dogs that will not back off if she needs space. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? She does not appear to have been around cats too much. Commands they know? Sit What are their favorite things? Leia loves attention. She loves her sniff walks and cuddling up on the couch with a person. What do they need to work on? Leia would benefit from more basic training (like come, stay, etc.). She can also be overly anxious when meeting new dogs. In addition, she can resource-guard her toys (or anything she deems as hers, like a stray sock or one of her jackets or blankets). How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? She can be anxious when left alone, even with other dogs. She might whine for a bit and scratch the door. I have left her alone for 6 to 7 hours at a time so far. Where do they sleep? She sleeps in a dog bed or a crate. What is their ideal home? Leia's perfect home would be where she gets a lot of attention (or at least can be close to her human when they are home). She loves going for slow sniff walks every day or a few times a day. She is delightful and loving but likes being the boss with other dogs. Her ideal home would not have dogs who are too 'in her face', but she does get along well with calm dogs after a proper slow introduction. October 19, 2024, 3:44 pm

Or, how about these Chihuahuas in cities near Santa Clara, California

These Chihuahuas are available for adoption close to Santa Clara, California.

Jasmine

Chihuahua

Female, Young

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Jasmine was adopted from Wags & Whiskers in Chico, CA. Her approximate birthday is 3/20/21. We were told she had given birth to two puppies while she was a 1 year old. She is a silly girl, who loves to sniff around on walks and is very food motivated. She loves to cuddle, sunbathe, and roll around in blankets. She is great with other dogs, and is curious but friendly to cats. She can sit and wait for her food and will eat when given the “OK” command. She is potty trained, but is still learning not to go when owners leave the house for long periods of time (4+ hours). She is a trauma dog, it takes her a bit of time to open up to people, but she loves pets and will go up to others even when she’s scared. She would be best in a home with 1 owner she can obsess over, but it may take her sometime to warm up to you. She needs a gentle, loving home that will give her the patience to open up and be the goofy girl who just wants love and attention.

Marshmellow

Chihuahua Terrier (Unknown Type, Small)

Male, Young

Size

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Marshmellow has lots of energy and is very loving. He loves his stuffed animals but is really good at trying to share them when he wants to play. He also likes to play and try to catch bubbles, butterflies, and flying leaves. He is a bit of a ball hog if you try to play catch with him, so a little "good job, good boy" helps him bring it back so you can throw it again. He is very protective, especially with little ones. You have to remind him he is not the kids lawyer, standing up for little ones is the only time he is sassy. He turned 1 April 6. He loves going on walks but tries to kiss everyone who walks by. He gets real excited to see other dogs. He smiles a lot and is such a love bug. My little one showed him how to hug and I had to stop him from trying to put his arms out to try to hug every dog who passed by. He was my little ones dog but we recently found out his biggest allergy is dogs. I would love him to find a home with a backyard and dog loving family.

We are looking for someone who will show him as much love and attention as possible. He is shy at first but once he knows you he is a really sweet dog. He’s not energetic and loves to cuddle and be around people. He gets along with smaller dogs but not with larger dogs.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bonded Pair - ChipHoney is an approximately 1.5 year-old, 18 pound best of all breeds, AKA a mutt. Sweet Honey was found in a field with a group of 6 pups, including her friend, Chip. Honey is an extraordinarily sweet dog. She is so affectionate, she seeks out physical contact as much as possible, preferably on your lap or chest. When she’s feeling playful, she loves to play fetch or play with squeaky toys. When it comes to any activity, she follows Chip's lead. Otherwise, she’s cuddled up with her humans. Honey came to SVPP very shut down, but once we placed her with Chip, she followed his lead and started to relax and trust. Ideally, she will be adopted with Chip. His presence and example of curiosity allows her to feel safe and be curious too. If he’s not around, she hides and can be timid. Under our veterinarian's guidance, Honey started anti-anxiety medication a few months ago and it has helped her tremendously. Adopter will need to continue this medication and work with their veterinary partner to monitor Honey's medication needs. Unexpected movements and loud noises may scare them, so she and Chip would do best in a home with no young children or other dogs unless well monitored. Do you have the time and patience to help them continue to learn what it feels like to be safe, relaxed and loved? Please fill out an application today! Prior to adoption, all dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heartworm, vaccinated (including rabies, if age appropriate) and microchipped.

Story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Bonded Pair - HoneyChip is a 9 pound, 2 year old Chihuahua with a big personality. This tiny boy was found in a field with a group of 6 dogs, including his friend, Honey, who is being fostered with him. He is a goofy, silly boy who constantly makes his foster family laugh. In addition to being exceptionally handsome, Chip is very intelligent and is quick to learn new skills. Once he feels comfortable, he is so affectionate. He loves cuddles and scritches and will lick your face clean if you let him. He is also a little instigator, his family jokingly calls him Dennis the Menace. When asked how it is having Chip as a foster pup, his foster mom replied, "I can’t say enough about how fun it is to have him around!" Honey and Chip are very close and help each other to be brave, so we are hoping to place them together. They love to lay in the sun and lounge around in their foster Mom's office when she is working from home. Unexpected movements and loud noises may scare them, so they would do best in a home with no young children or other dogs unless well monitored. Prior to adoption, all dogs are spayed/neutered, tested for heartworm, vaccinated (including rabies, if age appropriate) and microchipped.
