Story
Hello friends, I`m Ellie, a sweet and spunky little chihuahua and currently making a big impression with my kind and friendly nature. I came to SPARC as a very pregnant stray and went into a foster home to await the birth of my puppies. I gave birth to two beautiful little ones who have quickly been adopted. Now it`s my turn! I`m back at SPARC looking for my very own forever home. Despite my small size, my personality is anything but tiny! I`m full of charm and I love to make new friends. I`m incredibly affectionate and enjoy being in the company of people, offering plenty of cuddles and tail wags in return for your attention.Though I`m still adjusting to my new surroundings, my sweet temperament and gentle demeanor are shining through. I`m a little shy at first but I warm up quickly with patience and love. I would thrive in a calm and loving home where I can feel safe and secure, and in return, I`ll offer boundless loyalty and companionship.I hope you come meet me soon —you might just find your new best friend!

Story
Hi, I’m Dusty! I’m a little Chihuahua, and I’m still getting used to the shelter and all the humans here. I can be a bit shy at first, but each day I’m starting to feel a little more comfortable and confident. I’m not one for rushing into things, but I’m warming up to everyone slowly. I’m looking forward to finding my forever home! You can check back for more updates.

Available to foster or adopt!Breed: Chihuahua X DOB: 6/2020 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: small Color(s): red brown/white w/some black fur Description: ***Needs a Foster Home*** This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online application. ***Needs a Foster Home***This dog is in need of a foster home as well as a permanent home. If you are interested in fostering please fill out an online application.Hi, I'm Canelo, a Chihuahua X who is in need of a new home as only one dog was allowed at the new home. I guess I drew the short straw. Thank you to my sponsor who made it possible for me to come into CARL's adoption program. I know they will help me find my forever home.I need time to get to know new people, until I do I can act like a tough guy. Once I know you I enjoy my walks and being with my people.I love treats, but small treats should be given from an open palm rather than from fingers. If I think I have found a treat and you try to take it away with your fingers I will bite hard. I have no issues when being given kibble, but treats are another story. However my former foster thinks with training I can improve in this area.I love to snuggle and get belly rubs, but at night I should sleep on my own doggie bed rather than with my human. A doggie bed in your bedroom is perfect. I love to burrow under a soft blanket when I sleep and a soft fluffy throw blanket works great.I love to play with and chase little stuffed toys and might even chase after a small ball.I want to always be near my person. I would snooze on my doggie bed and play with stuffed toys while my former foster worked from home. I also enjoyed going outside to lay in the warm sun for a bit.I am potty trained, but need to be reminded/encouraged to go outside. I respond to 'go potty'.The best household for me is with a female human and no other dogs. Although I do great at the dog park and I'm fine on walks, I want my person all to myself when at home. I might be fine with a couple if both are willing to consistently be involved in my feedings, walks and playtime.I would not be good with children because I will bite if I feel threatened or there is any competition for my human and the same is true for strangers. I don't care for a lot of commotion. My former foster's son had a party for friends and I was clearly unhappy.In the right environment (where I am top dog), I am very loving, sweet, playful, and snuggly. I love to walk and I do great on a leash. I am loyal and protective. I also enjoy car rides and going to the doggie park. I am crate trained but I will not like the crate if it is used for punishment or time outs. If I'm crated, be sure to include a small soft blanket for snuggling and burrowing. I did not bark excessively while in my former foster's home and my bark was not loud and ear piercing typical of smaller dogs.If you think you can provide the right environment for me to thrive in, please submit an online application to meet me.*Thank you to Sharon for sponsoring this wonderful dog at the Burnice Kraemer Sanctuary and giving him the chance for a better life.November 7, 2024, 11:05 am

Story
Breed: Chihuahua X DOB: 10/2021 Gender: female Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: small Color(s): tan/white Description: Hi, I'm Burtha, an energetic Chihuahua X rescued from a high kill shelter where I was found as a stray. I'm grateful to CARL for giving me the chance to find my forever home. I'm shy and unsure around new people, so I may need to get to know you over a few visits. Once I get to know you I love to be held and be with my person. Best home for me would be an adult only where I'd be showered with love and attention. I can get quite frisky, jumping on my long back legs. I need daily exercise. I enjoy my version of fetch and sometimes I will bring a toy back to be thrown again. I enjoy car rides too. I will try to dart out open doors at home, so care will need to be taken when opening doors and I am around. I enjoy burrowing under a blanket. I can jump higher than one may think to get onto a counter or table top. Care must be taken that I don't have access to things I shouldn't eat. I will sit and stay for a treat. I come when called unless there is something else I'd rather be doing. I need leash training. I also need to get used to being handled by more than one person. I tend to get attached to one person. If you think you can give me the life I deserve, please fill out an online application to meet me.December 31, 2024, 3:24 pm
