Story
Seal Boy is an 8-month-old male Chihuahua mix with a sleek black and brown coat and the softest, kindest eyes—eyes that clearly say he’s ready to give and receive all the love he can. This sweet boy is still very much a puppy, full of joy, curiosity, and enthusiasm for life. Seal Boy LOVES to play, especially with stuffed toys. His signature move? Grabbing one and thrashing his head wildly like it’s the greatest prize on earth—it’s impossible not to laugh. He enjoys playing with other dogs too and does best with pups closer to his size, as larger dogs can still be a bit intimidating for him. Around people, Seal Boy gets adorably excited. He’s prone to jumping and will sometimes pop right up on his hind legs just because he’s so happy to see you. He’s learning his manners, though, and every so often he’ll surprise you by sitting patiently like a little gentleman, waiting for pets. He’s affectionate, loves to give kisses, and is working on keeping his puppy mouth to himself—after all, he’s still learning. Once playtime is over, Seal Boy has an off switch. He’s known to crash wherever he happens to be and curl up into the tiniest little ball for a well-earned nap. He gets along well with other dogs, cats, and kids, making him a wonderful candidate for many types of homes. Potty training and crate training are still a work in progress, but with consistency and patience, this smart, eager-to-please pup will continue to improve. Seal Boy would thrive in a home looking for the perfect balance of playful energy and people-focused affection—a home ready to guide a loving puppy into the amazing dog he’s meant to be.

Story
Staying true to his name, Loverboy is an 8-month-old male Chihuahua mix who has mastered the art of loving big in a tiny body. The perfect pocket-sized companion, this little guy packs a whole lot of heart into every cuddle, tail wag, and toy chase. Loverboy adores people and enjoys the company of other dogs—especially those his size. Larger dogs can make him a bit nervous at first, so slow introductions help him feel safe and confident. Once he knows you’re a friend (and let’s be honest… food helps 💕), he’ll warm up quickly and may even crawl right into your lap to seal the deal. This sweetheart loves to play, particularly when toys are involved—bonus points if they’re destined for a good de-stuffing! He plays well with dogs he’s familiar with and coexists nicely with other dogs, cats, and kids. Overall, Loverboy is just that: an all-around sweetheart who wants nothing more than to be close to those he loves. Because food is precious to him right now, Loverboy can be protective of his meals. Feeding him separately from other pets easily solves this and keeps everyone happy. Potty training and crate training are still works in progress, but he’s learning and improving every day with consistency and patience. Loverboy would thrive in any home ready to open their heart to the gentlest, loviest little companion. If you’re searching for a dog who will love you with his whole tiny soul, Loverboy is ready to be your forever Valentine.

Story
Brownie is an 8-month-old female Chihuahua mix who came to us from Texas with her littermates, and she’s been quietly stealing hearts ever since. With her sad, unassuming eyes and tiny frame, she may look a bit reserved at first—but don’t be fooled. There’s a whole lot of curiosity packed into this little girl (along with a body that could use a few extra snacks!). Brownie is nearly identical to her sister Shorty, with one charming difference: her ears flop over instead of standing straight up, giving her an extra dose of sweetness. You’ll often find her prancing around, sticking her head into random places just to see what’s going on, always eager to explore something new. She’s somewhat playful and does best with dogs close to her size that respect her boundaries. Rough or overly dominant play isn’t her style—Brownie prefers gentle, polite companions. That said, she does well with other dogs, cats, and kids, making her a wonderfully adaptable little lady. When it comes to people, Brownie is pure love. She adores humans and greets everyone with a happy tail wag and a kiss. Her signature move? Sitting right at your feet and gazing up at you with the most expectant eyes imaginable until you inevitably invite her onto your lap. Whether she’s actively soaking up pets or simply basking in your presence, she’s thrilled just to be near you. Potty training and crate training are still a work in progress, but Brownie is very food-motivated and eager to learn, which is helping her catch on quickly. Brownie would thrive in just about any home looking for a sweet little lovergirl—one who balances affection with a gentle sense of adventure. If you’re searching for a tiny companion with a big heart and a curious spirit, Brownie may be your perfect match.
