Story
Potato is a tiny, but mighty, Chi-Weenie with a heart as big as her personality! This sweet little lady has been through a lot in her life but doesn’t let her past slow her down from living life to the fullest. Originally surrendered by an owner who found himself unable to care for her while she was sick with pneumonia, Potato now has a chance to find her forever family. Despite her rough beginnings, Potato has so much love to give. She’s a sassy little lady with an old soul who thrives on affection, cuddles, and quality time with her people. Though she has moments of anxiety from her past, she’s well balanced and knows how to enjoy both her quiet moments of rest and some fun, playful times – especially when it’s time for a walk! Her tiny legs may not make her the fastest, but she’d be more than happy to ride along in a stroller if you're up for an adventure. Potato gets along well with other dogs and is perfectly content with her own space, so she's not necessarily looking for a playmate, but she is happy to coexist and be friendly. She hasn’t been around young kids but would do best in a home with kids aged 13 and older who can respect her boundaries. She’s an angel in her crate, and loves to snuggle up with you when it’s time to rest. Though Potato has had a difficult life, she’s now ready to settle down and enjoy all the love, care, and attention she deserves. If you’re looking for a sweet, sassy companion with a big heart and a little bit of spunk, Potato might be the perfect fit for you! She’s waiting for a family that can offer her the forever home she’s always dreamed of. Sweet. Sassy. Loving. Potato deserves the best! Looking for a playful cuddle bug to complete your home?

In true chihuahua fashion, she will need a good adjustment period and in the meantime will keep you at full attention wondering what she’s up to, really it’s just an act. She’s the sweetest once she gets to know you. Don’t apply unless you are ready to roll with it for a few days, lol. She’s a smart, bossy little sweetheart.FOCCAS is a foster based, non-profit rescue in Crossville, TN.

Story
Calling all DIVAS.... If ever you wanted a “diva” companion to be your best friend, look no further. This adorable little gal is TRIXIE; she is a long-haired, nub-tail, Chihuahua or Papillon mix who is about 3 years old and approximately 10 pounds. Trixie is a complex girl with so much love to share with her human. She prefers to be the center of your attention and will let others know it - a pretty typical trait for some Chihuahuas. Trixie is content as the only dog but will need an adopter who is home more often (work from home or stay at home mom). Trixie will be selective with other dogs. She will take a couple days to warm up to new people, but she bonds strongly once she knows you. Trixie LOVES her toys and would play all day with you if you let her.  Trixie is very communicative and will let you know, as you can see from one of the videos, when she wants to play, or want something, or is seeking attention. She requires a home without children. Trixie is looking to be spoiled rotten by her adopter, giving her the love and attention she craves. This little gal prefers a fenced in yard compared to going for walks on a leash for bathroom breaks, but with practice we believe she will adjust to leash walking if necessary.  This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, tested for diseases, provided inoculations, been dewormed, spayed, and microchipped. ADOPTION APPLICATIONS are available upon request from acaringplace@comcast.net.  Our online application isn’t working correctly so please contact us so we can send a copy via email to you.  A Caring Place - All Breed Dog Rescue adopts throughout the Greater Chicagoland Area. All dogs and puppies live in foster homes, providing you as the adopter, with information on the animal's behaviors, needs, and requirements. We are always in search of fosters care providers. If you are one of those special people willing to open your heart and home to an animal in need and would like to receive information on how you can foster an animal, please contact us.     March 3, 2025, 4:15 pm

Story
This little sweetie is CASPER, a 6 pound, 2-year-old, long-haired Chihuahua mix. Casper is about as sweet as they come - he’s so lovable and very cuddly. He really just wants to be your best friend. Casper is more interested in people than other dogs, but he has enjoyed playing with one of the other dogs in his foster home. Because Casper is intimidated by most other dogs so he would need to go into a home with a small dog that is passive and calm. He enjoys playing with one of the other dogs in his foster home.  Casper has moderate energy, walks well on a leash, is completely housebroken, and will play with squeaky toys if enticed; he really prefers to hang out with his people. Due to his small size, Casper is approved for an adult-only or adult and teens household. This dog has been examined by licensed veterinarians, been provided vaccines, tested for disease, dewormed, neutered, and microchipped.   ADOPTION APPLICATIONS are available upon request from acaringplace@comcast.net.  Our online application isn’t working correctly so please contact us so we can send a copy via email to you.  A Caring Place - All Breed Dog Rescue adopts throughout the Greater Chicagoland Area.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi there, I'm Popcorn, your friendly, goofy, gentle, curious, brave, mellow, funny, smart, playful, energetic, loyal, and a bit shy canine buddy. My journey to the shelter is quite a hilarious tale. You see, I was on a mission to dig to China from my backyard. I dug and dug until I popped up in the neighbor's yard. They were having a barbeque, and I thought, 'Why not join?' Turns out, they weren't as welcoming as I'd hoped. So, here I am, ready for new adventures with you. I'm a great listener, a superb comedian, and I promise to be the most loyal friend you'll ever have. Adopt me and let's make our own fun stories together! I'm a very outgoing boy and love playing with my kennel mates and friends. I am a little hesitant when I first meet people because I'm not sure if I can trust them. I need a quiet home where I can take my time to build confidence and trust. As you can see, I have a cherry eye. It doesn't bother me and can be surgically fixed.   To adopt this dog, please fillout an application at www.adoggie4you.org.  He was born around 12/01/2018 and weighs 21 pounds.  This dog is currently in Texas; however, it can be transported to Washington, Portland (Oregon), Minneapolis, Milwaukee, Chicago, Des Moines, Omaha, Cincinnati, Lexington KY or all along the East Coast. If transported, there is an additional transport fee of $225. We do not transport to Rhode Island or Massachusetts due to their regulations.
