Story
Hi I'm Scrappy!  I was given that name because I LOOOOOVE to play with my dog friends all day!  I'm a young dog, only 6.5 lbs of playful energy.  I would do best in a home with another young energetic dog.  I was not given any training at all and tethered outside all day,  so I am working on housebreaking, but right now I'm marking and will need a patient owner that is willing to spend the time to train me.   ##2194138##

Story
Hello World! My name is Fibi Dove and look at my BEAUTIFUL hair!! I mean look at it! It is all coming in and getting longer and longer!! And I love it!! It may seem a little weird that I am so happy to have hair, but it has been a long-time coming in. Let me tell you, my story. It was a dark and stormy night in a little town in Texas.... Well, I don't really know if it was dark or stormy, but it was in Texas. Anyhow, I was picked up by the dog police in a little town and I was very naked with infected itchy skin that made me nuts. I didn't have very much hair on my body and from my looks of me, it had been that way for a long time. The rescue pulled me from the dog place, and I started on my journey to get well. They tried this med and that antibiotic and this itchy treatment and that shampoo, but nothing worked until they figured out that I am probably allergic to beef and chicken, and who knows what else. My beautiful hair started to come back in when I started eating Salmon and lentil food and getting medicine for allergies from the vet. Finally, the itches were going away!! Yay!! I also was found to have the dreaded heartworms which I have undergone the slow kill treatment for, and I am all finished with that as well. Heartworm medications will be sent with me to continue my treatment routine for a year. During my many vet visits, it was found that I have a 5/6 heart murmur that is being treated with a pet heart medicine for life. I didn't have any symptoms, but they wanted to keep my heart strong, so the medicine was ordered. Because I was on the street for who knows how long, I am a little possessive of my food bowl at feeding time. I live with 3 other chihuahuas and we all eat out of separate bowls in the same room. I will growl at the others if they finish before I do and come to look in my bowl for more. But at 7.5 pounds, I am not much of a threat to anyone, but they listen to me and back off. I also live with cats and several other non-chihuahua dogs, one is 97# and I get along with them all. Personality wise, I am very sweet to people. I love to share you bed or lap and now that my skin is healed up, it is a lot comfier for me and for you to put me there. I do know how to go in and out the doggie door and when that isn't available to me, I have been known to use the potty pads that are out for the 18-year-old chihuahua that lives here with foster mom. Because of my medical history, I will need an adopter who understands my needs and is willing to follow through with my medical routine. If you think you can put up with giving me the pills, which I love in canned cheese on top of my kibble and green beans, then please fill out an application and let's talk! I will be waiting and growing more beautiful hair! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
I.am.LEGGO!! No, not the kind you step on in the middle of the night with many expletives!! I am the GOOD kind of Leggo :) No foot pain, all love and cuddles! I am a great boy, I came from a sad situation and I am so so glad my "mom" saved me! I was left at my foster home's gate in my crate, after her neighbor fled her abusive marriage. Apparently all of my friends (4 other dogs) were killed by the abusive husband :( and I was saved..... So, let me tell you.. I LOVE my FOSTER MOM and her DOGS and KITTIES!! And GLORY is my FAVORITE friend! We are kind of bonded and we want to be adopted into a non abusive home with a really really nice family! Glory came from a neglectful situation so she loves having me around to play with and to cuddle with and I give her confidence that she needs. We are an adorable couple and we are ready for YOU! So PLEASE adopt us!! Local adoption- together- is $400 (in TX) Out of state adoption- together- is $800 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Mouse is my handle, and I love my name! Now, my foster mom calls me Mouse turd sometimes....but she doesn't really mean it! She loves me, even when I act like a turd 😀 I am only about 4# right now and was found only about 1#! Just a teeny boy with a cute mug and plenty of swagger.... I am such a good boy, I love my doggy friends and keep them busy playing. But don't get me wrong, I sleep plenty! And I eat plenty and repeat..... I am likely going to be a medium sized dog full grown. Maybe 20-25#?? I came from a place where my mother was not spayed, so she was pregnant all the time :( However, the day I was saved, my mama was spayed!!! So, no more "accidental " litters, just a quiet life for my mama. I am almost ready for my forever family!! I will wait for you to find me, so hurry up!!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Meet Gremlin.  I am a seven-year-old Chihuahua/dachshund mix (chiweenie?) who was rescued along with seventeen other dogs.  I have never known safety, love, security, trust, or companionship.  I had several litters of puppies and no healthcare until I was rescued and given the chance of a new life.  Although I can’t share any details about my prior treatment, it has left me scared.  I am a sweet, timid girl who wants to be loved and cared for more than anything.  I will need an adoptive person/family that is prepared to be patient with me and to teach me what it is to be a family pet and who can familiarize themselves with the task of adopting a rescued hoarded dog.             When I came to foster care I was neither leash trained nor house broken.  My foster family is working with me to train me to use pee pads while also getting me comfortable with a leash and going outside.  I am doing very well at both.  I have become very curious on my walks, but also scared of cars and loud noises.  I am as curious as I am scared, leaving these two feelings in competition when it comes to venturing outside. I am surprising everyone with how quickly I have come to feel secure on my walks and connected going outside with going potty.  I am doing very well with crate training, because the crate is where I feel the safest.  But I also get lonely, so I have gotten braver about venturing out of the crate on my own and exploring my foster house and joining my foster family around the home.  I like to have my crate as a safe space to retreat too while I work on my bravery in exploring my surroundings.  I sleep in the crate happily at night, and don't mind being there when there are no humans in the house. I have warmed up to my foster family enough that I show excitement when I see them, and wag my tail for them.  I will even jump into a nearby lap if it is available, and I am now comfortable being picked up and cuddling on the couch.  I'm also discovering that I love toys, treats, playing, and making blanket forts in my crate.  I really want to run and play in the yard with my foster siblings.  Sadly, I am so small I can walk right through a wrought iron fence.  I need a yard with a fence that can keep me safe.             Because I have lived my whole life with other dogs, they don’t bother me.  I currently live with two other dogs in my foster house, but I am indifferent to them.  They do not scare me, I am not at all aggressive.  I need a house that has a confident dog to help teach me how to be like them. I have no experience with cats or small children.             I don’t yet know how to be a normal dog.  I will need a family to show me through consistent patience and love, and it may not always be easy.  But I am worth it, and I deserve a second chance at life. ##2056334##
