Story
"TINY" - SWEET YOUNG CHI-MIX WITH SPECIAL NEEDS LOOKING FOR A GREAT HOME My name is Tiny, and I’m a young, adorable Chihuahua mix . I’m ten months old and weigh 28 lbs. I love people/kids and dogs and get along with cats. Overall, I’m full of joy, and I love to prance around, lifting my front paws like a show-pony. I get a lot of compliments on my cute face, especially my “eyebrows” as well my fur which is a little bit curly. I had a rough start to my life, living on the streets as a baby in a bad neighborhood. Luckily for me, a homeless man took pity on me and tried to care for me while he was also struggling with life on the streets. When I had a seizure, he realized he didn’t have the resources to look after me and found a foster to take me in. After visiting a neurologist, I learned that I have epilepsy, and the vet put me on medication. Since then, I haven’t had a single seizure. I was also diagnosed with Vestibular Disease, which is an inner-ear condition that affects balance. However, most of the symptoms have disappeared as I’ve gotten older, and all that’s left is a sleight head-tilt, which people find adorable. So, I need to find a home where my adopters don’t mind giving me a pill in the morning and night. Other than that, I’m pretty low maintenance. I love my walks and playing with other dogs. I’m also neutered and microchipped and have had all my shots. If you think you can give me a loving home, please contact my foster Jack at the contact info below. He will also pay for my medication for the first six months in my new home. 424-625-5752 - Santamonicabased@gmail.com

Story
Sweet girl who you would never guess is 10 yrs old...Meet Goldie! Goldie is a 10 yr old, female, 10lb, Chihuahua that we recently rescued from the Santa Monica Shelter. She was brought in as an owner surrender when the owner's daughter relinquished her on behalf of her elderly mother who could no longer care for Goldie. The daughter claimed that she had to move in with her mother to care for her and basically didn't want Goldie there anymore. It's ok...we work closely with this shelter and when they let us know about Goldie and her situation, we knew we had to help! We got her out immediately and into one of our amazing foster homes! Goldie is such a good girl and so laid back, but she also has pep in her step and loves taking walks and playing with a toy. She's not a barker and seems to be potty trained with outdoor access. Basically...she is perfection! Our foster mom does not believe that Goldie is 10 years old and feels that she is a few years younger maybe at 7-8 years old. Goldie was dumped when she was doing nothing wrong, but unfortunately this happens way too often. We know that her forever home is out there and she deserves the absolute best one! Goldie is vaccinated, microchipped, and spayed. We only adopt in the Greater LA areas as an in person meet/greet, home check, and trial period are required. Please contact us at: gina@theforgottendog.org or 310-990-2020 Goldie's adoption fee is $450

Story
Hi, I’m Lola! I’m a 1-year-old, 10-pound Chihuahua–Terrier mix with a gentle heart. I may be a little shy at first, but once I feel comfortable, I turn into a total cuddle bug. I’m pure love—full of kisses, snuggles, and Velcro-dog devotion. If you want a loyal little companion who stays close, that’s me. I’m not a runner and I’m easygoing on or off leash at the beach or park. I enjoy exploring, but I always stick nearby. I also do great with other dogs and love having furry friends around. If you’re looking for a sweet, affectionate pup with a big heart in a small body, I’d love to be part of your family. Interested in adopting me? *Please contact angelyn42@yahoo.com

Story
Hi there! We’re Mallory and Valerie — a devoted mother-daughter duo with hearts full of love, looking for a forever home together. Here’s a little about us: Mallory (8 years old)Hi, I’m Mallory — the proud (and petite!) mama. That’s right — even though I’m the mom, I’m actually the smaller one! I’m calm, cuddly, and happiest when I’m near my people. I adore kids, love sunbathing, and enjoy nice little walks. I’m housebroken and pee pad trained (though I sometimes have little misses). I’ll always be right by your side, ready with snuggles and sweet tail wags. Valerie (4 years old)And I’m Valerie, Mallory’s daughter! I can be a bit shy at first, but once I know you, I’m full of affection. I prefer quieter homes with older kids (10+), and I do well with other dogs after a bit of time to adjust — but no cats, please! I love spending time with my mama and soaking up the sun just like her. Our Bond We’re truly two peas in a pod. Whether we’re napping side by side or trotting along on a walk together, we bring each other comfort and joy. We also love being around our humans and will shower you with double the love and tail wags! Our Dream Home We’re hoping to find a calm, caring home where we can stay together and be part of the family. If you have room in your heart (and on your couch!) for two loving girls, we’d be so excited to meet you. Much Love, Mallory and Valerie

Hi! We are Mallory and Valerie, a dynamic furry bonded pair full of love and affection to share. I'm Mallory, a 6-year-old sweetheart, and I, Valerie, am 1 year old, full of puppy charm. We were transferred from Harbor to the WLA shelter with three other siblings. We are exceptionally cuddly and affectionate. We LOVE to be nestled side by side and frequently exchange licks and kisses. When it comes to potty skills, we are pros! No accidents for us! We are very smart and listen to commands and directions well. We can't wait to find our forever home together! https://www.muchlove.org/animals/valerie-%26-mallory

Story
Hi, I'm Cali — your next little sunshine! I'm a 6-year-old Chihuahua, just 7.5 pounds of sweetness and snuggles. Don't let my size fool you—I’ve got a big personality in a tiny, cuddly package. People say I live up to my name. Like the California sun, I bring warmth wherever I go. I'm super affectionate, calm, and happiest when I'm curled up next to someone who loves me. Whether it's on the couch, in a blanket, or in your lap, I’m there. I also love a good stroll. Walks are my favorite way to stretch my little legs and take in the world. I keep a nice pace and love exploring, but I’m never too busy to stop for a cuddle. If you're looking for a loyal, loving companion who fits perfectly into your life (and probably your tote bag), I think we might be a perfect match. Come meet me, I’m Cali and I can’t wait to bring some sunshine into your life. Much Love, Cali
