Story
Babs is a delightful 9-year-old chihuahua with a loving heart and a playful personality, but she's also got a little sass to her, especially when it comes to other dogs! Babs is closely bonded to her best friend, Buster, and they must be adopted together. This dynamic duo will bring double the love, joy, and entertainment to any home. Babs loves to follow you around the house, checking in for pets and playtime, before settling down nearby for a peaceful nap. Babs is cat-friendly and great with her companion Buster, but she can be a bit rude to other dogs, so she'll do best as the only two dogs in the home. She thrives on affection and attention and loves being with her person, always nearby, whether you're moving from room to room or relaxing together on the couch. Babs is as sweet as she is independent, and she'll be your constant companion, keeping you company through the day and offering snuggles when you need them most. Babs and Buster make a wonderful pair for anyone seeking loyal, affectionate companions who will bring love, joy, and plenty of playfulness to their life. If you're looking for two sweet, low-maintenance dogs who are ready to be your best friends, Babs and Buster are waiting for you!

Davina

Chihuahua Mixed Breed (Small)

Female, 2 yrs 8 mos
Gainesville, FL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Davina came to us from a hoarding situation with a ton of other small chihuahua/mixes. She is great with other dogs and would benefit from a confident people-loving dog in her new home. Davina is very curious and likes to people-watch, but will likely need lots of time before she bonds to the person who adopts her. She was not socialized at all outside of her previous home. Davina is not available to a home with children. She may take weeks or months to adjust to her new home/the people in it, but we think once she does, she's going to be an incredible little companion. She should be considered a flight risk until she bonds to her new person.

Eugene is the sweetest little fellow that loves to lounge around and snack on bacon and cheese. He is not a barker and loves to be really close to his person. He has a great personality. We have to go to Asia for 4 months and cannot afford a sitter, which is the only reason we are rehoming him. Eugene is a great dog and is extremely loved and spoiled.

He prefers a home with no other animals to compete with for your love. He's okay around other animals, but he would just prefer to not have to share his human. He was rescued from a county municipal shelter and has been in a loving home for the last month or two. He does not lift his leg, which is a wonderful quality in a boy. He is not a good fit for the person that adopted him from the shelter and we are assisting in finding a better match for his happily ever after.  Please text us at 352843685 a.If you would leave like a link to the application, or if you have any other questions about our boy Link. ##2282348##

Yup, what a fantastic fella we have here!!!   Is he ever adorable!  He's definitely a head turner.  But wait, there's more!  He's not only a looker, he has a lovely disposition.  He's such a doggone happy camper.  He's soo handsome, very easy going, sweet as sugar, and more lovable than you can imagine. Born on March 1, 2022, he's just a baby with lots 'n lots of gooood years ahead of him.  He is soooo affectionate, as soon as you sit down in your chair, or on the couch, he is right there at your feet, asking 'Can I come up? Huh, huh? Can I, can I? Plleeeez!!  He's a quite sports buff too. Does ever looove college football, basketball  and baseball! Especially those Florida Gators! Watch out folks, he'll plum run over you over to get to that TV when there's a college game on.  Whew, this little buckaroo means business!  Ha ha ha!!  He will definitely be right by your side, the whole time he's there with you pulling for his favorite team!  When the TV is turned off and it is time to turn in for the night, don't be a bit surprised to find him sitting there on the bed looking at you as if to say, 'what took you so long??' He's ready to snuggle in right next to you !!!  You can rest assured you will NEVER in your life find a more devoted companion than this little sugar baby.   He WILL be your bestest bud forever and ever!!  He'll follow you wherever you go and will never be more than one step behind you! He also gets along well with other doggies and kitty kats! You know what is sad though??  This little peach did have a home once.  Certainly, was not a good home. He lived live most of his puppy hood in a crate. His owners just did NIT want him. Thank goodness a good Samaritan found out about the horrible way he was being treated and was able to get him from that awful home. She was unable to keep him, called us and here he us and here he is! We are sooooo happy to have him in our rescue. His foster folks are giving him ALL the love, hugs and kisses he can take!! They sooo happy to have him.  We have promised Rebel that his new home will be his home for the rest of his life!!  Just so you know, we DO keep our promises.  He loves his walks and loves car rides!  You will NEVER find a more awesome pooch than this fine little gent!!   Plus, guess what??  Yup, the little dude is housebroken and trustworthy to be left home alone.  Pretty cool, huh!!  For you interested folks out there, please give us a call 352-438-8283.  Hurry, hurry---he's ready and waiting to go home with you!!! Adoption donation $350. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, READ! Some of our pets have restrictions for adopting. Rebel is one of them. Please read this paragraph and if you do NOT meet his requirements, PLEASE DO NOT CALL, DO NOT LEAVE A MESSAGE! Once we determine the type of home our pets would be most happy, there are NO, NO, NO exceptions!    Rebel loooves his canine cronies, loooves to play! He will need a home with a doggie playmate. A playmate that is similar to his size, no bigger the 18 pounds. He also needs a home with a safe, secure fenced in yard. He definitely loves to run around, chase his BFF playmate and have fun, fun, fun! Again, please, if you do not have what he requires, he is NOT the pet for you. Thank you very much.

Story
We are sooo grateful we were able to rescue the wonderful, lovable, hugable, super sweet mom to these sensational little pups!  Coming from an absolutely dreadful environment, we feel very lucky to have her in our rescue! Not knowing she was pregnant, imagine the shock when we found out!    This sweet baby Ernie is the only male!  Born on March 22, 2023, these 3 gorgeous, Chihuahua mixed pups are sensational!  They all have fabulous personalities, very friendly, very outgoing, very, VERY happy, fun babies. They have been raised in a private home with tons of love and affection. They have never been in a cage, they have never been isolated away by themselves. They have totally known what it feels like to be loved! They have the most wonderful, loving, caring foster folks any pet could ever ask for! They totally adore this little family! Not forgetting, they are 100% busy, busy, busy little puppies as ALL puppies are! They looove to run and play and jump and scratch your arms and legs and play bite with those very dangerous, needle sharp, baby teeth. Ohhhhh yes! Of course we all know that goes with the territory when you're talking about puppies! Life as you know it prior to young pups coming into the picture will never be the same until their permanent teeth come in!!  And what a happy day that will be. Lol! Anyone interested in living a life of pain for the next few months, give us a call!  Only kidding, these pups are delightful and a total  joy to be around! They are precious little cream puffs and they loooove everyone! Adoption donation $300.00. They will ONLY be adopted to folks that have another young, playful, pup or small dog. NO, NO, NO EXCEPTIONS!!  They will ONLY be adopted to folks that have a safe, secure, fenced yard. NO, NO, NO EXCEPTIONS!  Please DO NOT call if you do NOT meet their requirements, please!!! If you do, please call 352-438-8283.           PS The last picture is of their 3 year old, 12 pound, Chihuahua mix mom, 'Sweety!' We do NOT know who the dad was.August 8, 2023, 12:22 am
