Meet the rough & tough Cable! This tiny spitfire is a 4 month, 6lb (possibly) heeler/small mix breed. Might be a terrier, might be a chihuahua, as he came from a hoarding situation with other chihuahua mix puppies. He's like a new pokemon yet to evolve, who knows how big he'll really grow (probably not much bigger than the average house cat). For a such a little man of steel, he's got a big bark and let's you know when it's time to play! He's the best assist around the yard when it comes to pulling up weeds and digging new holes for plants😆 Small facts for a small dog: •Berry sniffing bloodhound🍓🫐 •He is speed💨 •Big fan of tunnels! •Will assist in the garden (hole digger)🌱 •The reason you can't find your left sock🧦 •Loves to snuggle under the blanket! •Believes he's a big dog & plays like one🤼‍♂️ Cable is available for adoption or foster! Please keep in mind that he is just a puppy who is currently going through training. He knows when he is in the wrong and will give you the saddest puppy eyes and how could you stay mad at that??

Rose is a 12 week old chihuahua mix puppy form a hoarding situation. We took in 19 relatives from the same house. She is barely five pounds and is looking for her forever homes. She is amazing with dogs, cats, and kids! Rose likes to sun bathe and if there is a pool or bowl of water she loves to lay in it to cool off. Rose also enjoys snuggling and would love to be carried everywhere as she is a princess. Rocky is a recent save from euthanasia.

He really wants some loving and to show you why you should help great causes like ours so that seniors like him get a second chance! 🩷

Story
Princess Diamond sure knows what it is like to be pampered. She likes to be catered to, does things at her own pace, when she is ready and when she is up to it. She can be a little shy when people she doesn’t know approach her too quickly, or when she is in places she is unfamiliar with. That said, at other times, she will surprise you by greeting new people with her butt wiggling. She will walk right up to the strangers, butt wiggles and all and solicit attention and affection. She doesn’t like to be picked up and sat in your lap when she isn’t the one to initiate it. However, when she feels like lap snuggles, she doesn’t care if you’re ready for it, she will leap in your lap and park herself there for snuggles and butt caresses. She also likes curling up next to you in bed. When you are not home, Diamond will sprawl out on your bed, because you know, it is hers, she just lets you lay in it. Although she is crate trained, she doesn’t need to be crated if home alone. She doesn’t get into things. She will nap or busy herself with toys, she LOVES toys Diamond is 6-7 years old, 10lbs Chihuahua. She is looking for a quiet home where she has a quiet, private Princess chamber to escape to. A home with older kids 13+ and dogs that are submissive would be ideal for Diamond . Diamond is crate trained, she loves car rides, and going for walks If you are interested in adopting her please email Bshrout@cityofmarion.in.gov

My dog is absolute joy to be around he;s very loyal and very loving, he loves children he loves cats but he has a lot of anxiety and he also needs a place to run, he needs a yard, I live in an apartment upstairs and I am 55 years old I am not able to take him out and do exercise like I am supposed to with him, I just feel like its not right for me to keep him in the environment where I I know he could flourish with another family that had the space for him, he is a very picky eater I mostly feed him chicken and shredded cheese, he does not like dog food if you;re not willing to buy the chicken breast and shredded cheese certain treats for him it will not be a good fit, he definitely needs love Im definitely not going to rehome him to anyone that I cant come and visit, I;m only doing this because I want him to have a free life where he can run and be outside and be happy, we will discuss the fee I have it that high because I need someone committed to taking care of this loving animal

Story
Hi, my name is Timmy. I was found as a stray with no identification tag or micro chip. I have been neutered, up to date on my vaccines, and am heartworm negative. Now I will tell you what I really hope my furever home and family would be. At my foster mom's house, I love playing with my friends here, so other dogs are ok. I like to be outside on nice days, so a fenced yard is good. I don't try to dart out the door or anything. I like soft beds, the fluffier the better, and a blanket is always welcome. I like treats and love to play with soft toys. My foster mom says she loves chihuahuas, that's why she brought me home. I think it was my good looks and charm! She always tells me I'm such a good boy. I always go outside to potty. My foster mom put a puppy pad in my room that i stay in, but I don't use it, I hold it she lets me out. I love to cuddle either with my foster mom or with my friends here. I like cats, but my foster mom's cat isn't nice, so I steer clear of him. My mom says I take awhile to trust, but not very long.If you are interested in adopting this pet, please go to www.midwestpetrefuge.com/adopt to complete an application.
