Story
Marshall may be small, but he feels the world in a big way. Marshall came from a hoarding case and we recently got custody of him. New people and new places can be overwhelming for him, and he’s still learning that he’s safe. At first, he might hang back and watch from a distance — just taking everything in at his own pace. But give Marshall a little time, and you’ll start to see the sweetness underneath. As he warms up, his gentle, playful side begins to shine. There’s something incredibly special about watching him grow braver day by day. The trust he gives isn’t given lightly — and that makes it all the more meaningful. Marshall is still building confidence and learning the ropes, and he’ll do best in a calm, patient home that understands shy dogs. With consistency, kindness, and encouragement, we know he’ll continue to blossom into a devoted and loving companion.May 6, 2026, 5:43 pm

Story
This gentle little soul may be small in size, but her quiet resilience speaks volumes. She came to us needing a little extra care, and while we’re still working to figure out the cause of her skin issues (ringworm and mange have both been ruled out), she has handled everything with remarkable patience. Calm and timid by nature, she takes the world in softly. New experiences can feel overwhelming at first, but she shows incredible trust with the people caring for her. She allows our team and veterinarians to examine, treat, and “poke and prod” as needed — never making a fuss, just quietly accepting the help she deserves. It’s hard not to admire her sweet, cooperative spirit. Right now, she’s on a journey toward feeling her very best. What she needs most is a loving home that will continue that care, offer reassurance, and let her move at her own gentle pace. With stability and kindness, we believe she will continue to grow in confidence and comfort. If you have a soft spot for the shy, tender-hearted ones — and you believe that healing happens best with love — she may be the perfect little companion for you.May 6, 2026, 5:43 pm

Story
Paco is a senior dog and is sweet and loving. He gets along with the other Chihuahua that is also up for adoption. Paco doesn’t have front teeth ☺️, so no worries about being bit ☺️ his age is unsure but probably over 10. He would make a good lap dog, all he does is sleep.

Louie is a 3yr old chihuahua and loves attention. He gets along with the other chihuahua but I’m not sure about cats. He would make a good lap dog.
