Story
Meet Chu-Chu, an 8-year-old, 9-pound little bundle of love! Everyone is his friend and kisses is his game. Throw away all your pre-conceptions of Chihuahua’s because this little guy breaks the mold! Cheerful, friendly, cuddly, and not yappy. He is also full of energy, especially when it comes to mealtimes, and of course, wants to be with people all the time. He is housebroken and is getting used to using a doggie door. The best situation for Chu would be a home where someone is home for the majority of the time. He doesn’t really need a doggie sibling, and would probably get along best with other dogs who are more self-contained. A bed and a blanket, a person to cuddle up to, and yummy treats and this little fellow is content.

Story
LEONARDIn Foster HomeDo you have room in your heart for a special-needs dog? We can tell from the way he bobs his head when stressed and circles and spins when he is excited that he has something unique going on in his little head. If we had to guess his breed, we think a terrier mix with maybe some Boston terrier, chihuahua or French bulldog in there. Leonard loves the company of other dogs and would make a great playmate for a dog who enjoys a good game of chase or wrestling. He really needs another dog around in order to be happy. Leonard has come a long way toward being potty trained, given ample opportunities to go outdoors. He also is using potty pads indoors. He has a beautiful shiny blue coat which makes him stand out from the pack. He likes to hang out with the people without having to sit on a lap or be cuddled too much. He seems to be mesmerized by things daily and is always cocking his head in the cutest way. His foster mom works from home and he LOVES that. If you have dreams of him being an obedience champion, you’ll have to let those go. He really is a very simple fella who just wants a good home with a playful dog or two and some people who will be around a lot and let him be who he is. DOB 3/15/22 18 PoundsI'm waiting for a home to call my own. email webmaster@petrefuge.com to learn more about me or fill out an application at https://www.petrefuge.com/adoptPet Refuge was formed in 1978 to help with cats and dogs in need of homes.

Story
Chihuahua Cherish came to us from a kill shelter in Indiana. This is a nice, friendly girl who is good with people & other dogs. She is very sweet, happy but would benefit from some basic obedience and confidence building. Her approx. birth date is 10/10/23 and she currently weighs 9# full grown. We are guessing at her breed make up. She has been vet. checked, spayed, micro chipped, is up to date on routine shots & wormings including rabies, and has been treated with flea & heart worm preventative per our protocol. She is heart worm & tick born illness negative. She has a cherry eye repair. Her adoption donation is $350 and needs to be cash, certified check, money order or a debit/credit card. There is a 3% processing fee when using a debit/credit card. We do not ship or transport.Please email for an application if you would like to provide this nice kid with her forever home. ##2266668##

Story
Charlie is a 7 year old Chihuahua mix who is the perfect mix of good manners, warm snuggles and medium energy for a laid back home. He is playful, but is not hyper, so he would make a great dog for any type of family, with kids or without. He walks very well on a leash and loves his time with humans. He loves getting his ears rubbed and his neck scratched. He does well passing by the other dogs at the shelter and does not show any aggression. He is a little timid at first, but warms up very quickly. Because he is small he would make a great addition to your favorite chair in the living room! He would definitley love to share a chair with you. Come and meet Charlie! ##2190449##

Story
Looking for a special home for these precious girls. They came to us from another shelter that rescued them from a hoarding situation. They have made a little progress, but have a very long way to go. We believe they would do best in separate homes with another confident small dog. Even though they are irresistible to the eye, they have specific needs that include no children, a fenced yard, and someone that will provide a patient and quiet home. If you are interested in either of these girls it is crucial you understand they will take an unlimited amount of time to bond and adjust to their new environment. Lacey has shown more progress than Cagney, but is still overly shy. We honestly do not know how long it will take, and highly recommend involving a trainer experienced in working with dogs from this type of situation. If you are interested in meeting these darlings, fill out an application and our dog adoption coordinators will contact you.DOB 9/21/20 5 and 6 PoundsI'm waiting for a home to call my own. email webmaster@petrefuge.com to learn more about me or fill out an application at https://www.petrefuge.com/adoptPet Refuge was formed in 1978 to help with cats and dogs in need of homes.
