Story
FOSTER-TO-ADOPT NEEDED Meet Hannibal! Hannibal’s story starts the way too many do… tied to a tree and left behind. Now he’s here with us, trying to figure out what comes next. Let’s be honest — Hannibal is not your typical “easy” dog. And that’s exactly why he needs the right person. Hannibal is a chihuahua mix who struggles in a crate. The kennel environment is hard on him, and he lets us know it. But once he’s out? He settles, does his own thing, and is much more manageable. He is: - Potty trained - Independent - Not overly needy or clingy He is NOT: - A dress-up dog - A dog for small kids - A dog for a first-time owner Hannibal isn’t going to be the dog that instantly melts into your arms. He’s the kind of dog who needs patience, space, and someone who understands that trust takes time. He’s not a bad dog — he just hasn’t had a fair shot yet. He’s shown positive interest in other dogs, but we also think he may do best as an only pet where he can decompress and settle in at his own pace. We are unsure how he is with cats. What Hannibal needs right now is a foster-to-adopt home so we can truly see who he is outside of the shelter environment. Experienced homes only. Serious inquiries only. This is not a “jump in and figure it out” dog — he needs someone who understands dogs that require patience and structure.

Story
Sadie is about 13 years old. I believe she is a chihuahua-pug mix, perhaps also with some beagle & other breeds. Sadie loves people and is happy to meet new human friends, but she does not like young children so needs to be in a home with pre-teens, teenagers, or no children. She also does not like anyone invading her personal space around her face. Sadie enjoys walks, car rides, and adventures; she is starting to slow down on walks though. She has seen a vet annually to maintain her vaccinations and health checkups. She does have occasional anal gland issues; I give her Vetnique Glandex Anal Gland Soft Chew Treats (cut up & mixed in her kibble). She also gets itchy; I give her Native Pet Dog Allergy Chews.Sadie is reactive towards other dogs. She lives with cats but does not like them getting close to her.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Luigi is an adorable little jumping bean that came to us after being found as a stray in the city of Cleveland. No one came looking for him, which is bewildering as he's just the best little guy! Lu is a happy, happy, happy puppy, who absolutely lives life in the fast lane! He loves to play, does the cutest little tippy taps when he's excited, is the world's most dramatic chewer, thinks toys are the greatest thing ever, and when he's all tuckered out, he fully powers down and wants to snuggle in close for naps. He adores all humans and animals, and is ready and willing to go on any and all adventures with you! Hiking? Yes. Car rides? Absolutely. Home Depot trips? Grab your keys! Swimming? Ok, maybe not that one, but everything else is a GO for Lu! Not much at all phases him, and he moves through life with a joyful, bubbly confidence that's hard not to fall for! Luigi is approx 4 months old, and is current on his puppy vaccine series, is dewormed, microchipped, neutered, and on monthly flea/tick/heartworm prevention. He's currently 8.5 lbs, is waaaaayyy smaller than he looks in pics, and we think he'll stay around or under 20 lbs when fully grown. He crates well, knows sit, is food motivated as heck, is great for baths, and walks nicely on leash. He's still working on house training, but he's just a baby, so his new family will need to be prepared to continue working on that. We did DNA test Luigi, and his results were quite surprising! We've attached a photo of his results for you to enjoy! His adoption fee is $450.  Please click here to submit an adoption application.

Story
Meet Biscuit! 🐾 Biscuit is a chihuahua rat terrier mix with a gentle, affectionate temperament. This mix is known for being alert, intelligent, and adaptable, with a strong tendency toward forming close bonds and enjoying companionship. Rat terriers bring energy, curiosity, and quick learning ability, while smaller companion breeds often contribute devotion and attentiveness. Biscuit has a lot of personality in a small frame and would fit well in a home looking for a loyal, engaging little dog. The shelter is open Tuesday through Friday from 3:30 PM to 6:30 PM, and on Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM. A meet-and-greet is required for all shelter dogs if you already have a dog. Thank you for considering the adoption of a shelter animal in need!
