Story
Freddy is an cute little dog who sleeps most of the day, likes cuddling with his owner, is good with children, enjoys outdoor walks, and is a very faithful companion! As a senior dog, he needs an owner who can manage his needs and provide him with the love he deserves in his later years. Freddy is 13 years old and is a shelter dog my mother adopted from the Anti-Cruelty Society in Chicago. She loved him so much, but unfortunately she passed away in September. I inherited Freddy, but I am currently unemployed and unable to take care of him. As a small dog, he has anxiety issues with storms and separation, which can be controlled with medication. He is also not fully housebroken, so he wears a harness and belly band diapers, which prevents any issues. Finally, he has an occasional cough from a non-contagious condition, which is treatable with inexpensive oral medication. What Freddy needs most is a loving family with senior/special needs experience. If that's you, please let me know!

Story
Meet Monica, the spirited Chihuahua with all the lovable quirks you`d expect from a pup named after Friends` Monica Gellar! True to her namesake, Monica has a determined, curious nature and is highly food and treat-motivated—never missing a chance to sniff out the `good stuff` in the yard. Monica has a keen sense of `territorial responsibility.` Alongside her 65 lb pittie foster sister, she proudly patrols the yard, sniffing the perimeter and keeping a watchful eye on the neighbors, much like Monica from the show always kept a close eye on her friends.Monica is also a toy enthusiast, favoring any she can chew, shred, or “redecorate” in her own style! Each day, she’s blossoming into a more confident, happy dog, discovering the joys of family life and learning where everything is—true to her inquisitive nature. She`ll thrive with a patient, loving family who can keep nurturing her confidence, helping her continue to explore her world. With Monica in your life, you`ll have a playful, loyal little companion who’s as curious and devoted as her namesake.Interested in adopting this dog?

Story
Named after the queen of the Greek gods, Hera embodies strength, resilience, and a loving spirit. Despite her humble beginnings—found on the side of a road in Kentucky after giving birth to her puppies—Hera’s regal nature shines through as she works to rebuild her trust in humans. At just one year old and a petite 13 pounds, this Chihuahua-Miniature Pinscher mix is looking for her forever home, where she can rule with affection and grace. Hera thrives in the company of confident, small canine companions, as they help her feel secure and supported. She currently shares her foster home with two such dogs and would love a similar setup in her new palace. Hera is a delightful walking partner who perks up at the chance to explore, prancing excitedly while you get her harness on. Once outside, she transforms into a little adventurer, nose to the ground as she eagerly investigates all the intriguing scents. Her zest for life shows in her playful attempts to chase bunnies, birds, and squirrels, and her curiosity about the world around her keeps every walk interesting. True to her queenly demeanor, Hera is well-mannered indoors. She doesn’t chew on furniture or other household items, preferring the occasional toy instead. Though she’s crate-trained, Hera doesn’t need to be crated and often finds comfort in her favorite chair or a cozy dog bed near her humans. Mealtime is a highlight of Hera’s day, and she eagerly enjoys her twice-daily mix of wet and dry food, along with treats that help her feel at ease. Positive reinforcement and patient, gentle handling will continue to nurture her blossoming confidence and deepen the bond with her new family. Hera’s journey is one of transformation, much like her namesake`s evolution as a protector and nurturer. With love and understanding, she’ll reward her adopters with loyalty, companionship, and the kind of devotion only a queen like Hera can give.

Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Patches Patches is a cute, tan and white Chihuahua Mix, estimated to be about 2 years old, weighing 15 lbs. She is very cute, and good with most other dogs but sometimes is selective about her friends; she was confiscated along with several other dogs, ended up in a downstate animal control, and finally found her way to BAARK. Patches is well behaved, affectionate , an overall nice girl. However she has many traits typical of a Chihuahua….can be dog selective, can be bossy with other dogs, and will not back down if another dog challenges her. So, if there is another dog(s) in the household, he or she should be mellow and laid-back. While affectionate, Patches is not fond of cuddling. She’s an independent spirit and prefers to do her own thing. She will surely make a great companion for adults familiar with the breed and able to appreciate the Chihuahua personality. Patches is fully vetted, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm prevention, spayed and microchipped. If you are interested in adding this independent spirit to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895.

Story
Sparky is a very sweet Chihuahua mix, estimated to be 11 lbs and 8 years old. While we believe he is a Chihuahua mix, he does not have the typical Chihuahua personality. He’s very sweet, personable, and good with most everyone he meets….people including kids as well as other dogs. We expect him to be good with cats too! An ideal family for Sparky is one experienced with the Chihuahua breed, is moderately active, and eager to include this little guy in all family activities. A fenced yard is ideal; Sparky would also enjoy the companionship of another middle-aged or slightly older dog. Sparky is in overall great health, is active, and is eager to enjoy every day with his new family. He is up to date on all vaccinations, neutered and microchipped, heartworm negative and on year-round heartworm prevention. He is currently working on his housebreaking manners and is improving every day! If you are interested in adding this sweet boy to your family, please contact BAARKDogRescue@gmail.com or 847-852-0895. Note that BAARK is located in the NW suburbs of Chicago, and adopts local to our area.
