Pixie

Chihuahua

Female, 6 yrs 4 mos

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
If you are interested, you MUST complete the application. We will only set up meet and greets with an approved application. Pixie is one of 10 small defenseless little dogs that was dumped in the middle of many many acres of nothing but soybean and corn fields. What a horrible fate for these dear sweet babies. Animal Control was called and they called PAWS to see if we could assist with trying to catch them and take them in. We have spent over two weeks (at the time of this post) and managed to catch 7 of them. We are still working to catch the last two that we can find and have not seen the 10th one since the first day. These babies have been through quite the ordeal and are now ready to go on to homes where they will be loved and doted on. They are all shy at first and definite flight risks so they will not be adopted to homes with children and will require that the adopter have a fenced yard. This beautiful girl, Pixie, is very shy and will take someone with lots of love and patience to win her over. She came around very quickly with me but gets very scared if anything in her environment changes or if she is taken to a new environment (such as the vet). She is a very loving little girl who wants to be loved so badly but just can't forget that humans have not been kind to her. She is still very afraid of fast movements. She will do well with other other dogs as long as they are her size or smaller and allow her to be the boss. She is about 11 lbs and we guestimate that she was born around 07/01/2018. Her adoption fee is $350.

If you are interested, you MUST complete our application which can be found at pawspaws.org. We will only set up meet and greets with an approved application. Pascal is one of the small defenseless little dogs that was dumped in the middle of many many acres of nothing but soybean and corn fields. What a horrible fate for these dear sweet babies. Animal Control was called and they called PAWS to see if we could assist with trying to catch them and take them in. We spent over three weeks and managed to catch 9 of them. (It was reported that there were 10 but we never spotted a 10th dog.) Pascal is very shy and protective at first but once he gets to know you, he just wants to love and be loved. He will require someone with lots of love and patience to win his trust. He came around very quickly with me. He is a very loving boy who wants to be loved so badly but just can't forget that humans have not been kind to him. He seemed to be the protector of the group and did a little growling and snapping when he first met us. He is still very afraid of fast movements. He will do well with other other dogs as long as they are his size or smaller and allow him to be the boss. He is about 15 lbs and we guestimate that he was born around 07/01/2018. His adoption fee is $200.

Adoption Pending Cynthia

Chihuahua

Female, 2 yrs 11 mos
Anna, IL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Cynthia was in a home with several other dogs, most likely all related from various litters. Her owner called to see if we could take some of the dogs as he just couldn't take care of so many. Cynthia is a beautiful 6 lb girl who does well with other dogs her size. She is very timid of new people and will bite or nip if cornered. She has learned fairly quickly that I want to love her and be her friend so she has gotten pretty comfortable with me. She gives the best kisses and loves to be held once she trusts you. Her new home will require a fenced yard and someone with patience and hopefully some experience with extremely shy dogs. She does love her treats so that is helpful in getting her to understand that no one will harm her. She is believed to have been born around 11/01/2021. She needs a home that is quiet without a lot of visitors and no children under 18. If you think you are a good fit for her, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the application. Please note: if our babies are still pictured, they are still available for an application. Also, the Petfinder Inquiry is not the PAWS application so please be sure to complete the PAWS application if you would like to be considered. Her adoption fee is $300.

Blondie

Chihuahua

Female, 6 yrs 8 mos
Anna, IL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Blondie was a stray that was pulled from an Animal Control facility. She was petrified and very reactive but after just three days, she was relaxing and giving me smoochies! Now she is doing great and is playful and very friendly. All she really wants is to be with her human. She does ok with other dogs her size but can be a bit jealous. But she has done fine once she realizes there is love and attention for more than one. She is a bit of a flight risk so her adoptive home must have a fenced in yard.She is a beautiful 8-10 lb long haired chihuahua who is believed to be five years old. I do not know how she will react to cats but think she will be fine if introduced slowly. We are currently accepting applications. Her adoption fee is $300 and that includes her spay, microchip, HW test, rabies shot and parvo/distemper vaccine. When she came to us, she was unable to walk on her back legs correctly as she had luxating pattelas in both back legs. Our vet performed surgery on both legs and after several months of rehab, she is good as gold and is now able to run and play and jump as she should have always been! She may be shy for her meet and greet but she is sitting on my lap as I am posting this so she will warm up. If interested in adopting, you must go to pawspaws.org to complete the PAWS application. The Petfinder Inquiry will not be recognized as an application. Please be sure to complete the application in full and supply all information about current and past pets, even if you no longer have them or they are deceased. We will need to contact your vet to verify records. An incomplete application will not be processed. Thanks so much for your interest!!

Story
Kirby (formerly Kip) was returned to PAWS because he really wants to be an only dog. He plays well with other dogs until he gets attached to his humans and then he decides he wants all of the attention. He is a great little dog for a quiet home with no other pets or small children with whom he has to compete for attention. He loves his toys and is extremely smart and catches on to new things quickly. His previous mom reported that he caught on to house training after just three days and adapted quickly to his new home. He is believed to have been born around June 25, 2016 and weighs just under 10 lbs. He is most likely chihuahua or possibly chihuahua/rat terrier mix. He is very happy go lucky and loves to play with toys or his people. Please consider this boy if you are a one dog family. He will make you smile and give you more love than you ever thought possible. His adoption fee is $250 and he is neutered, microchipped, up to date on shots, HW negative and has a Proheart 12 shot good until November, 2025. If interested in adopting him, please go to pawspaws.org to complete the PAWS application. If approved, I will call you to arrange a meet and greet.
