Story
Annie is being fostered in PA. If you have a lap, we have your dog! Looking for a loyal friend with a heart full of love? Annie, a beautiful senior chihuahua with a majestic grey muzzle, is ready to bring warmth and joy into your home. With her gentle nature and affectionate demeanor, she's the perfect companion for someone seeking a devoted friend. Annie is house-trained and enjoys short walks. She loves curling up in cozy spots and is always ready for a cuddle session. She’s great with other dogs and even cats! She’ll be happy in a home with adult or older children who were around a lot to give her hugs and chin scratches. Annie needs a soft place to land and enjoy her senior days. Do you have a lap for her? BDRA has voted against the use of electrical fencing effective immediately.

Story
Wordsworth thinks his name is “Lil Mouse”, bc that’s what my family calls him. He is perfect in every way. He is a SUPER snuggler, goes with me everywhere. He is not a barker unless my dogs bark. He loves having a dog friend, and I think he deserves to have a playmate, but his person is his priority. He is excellent with kids, but shouldn’t necessarily go to a family with tiny kids bc he is SO small that he could be unintentionally hurt - unless they are experienced with tiny dogs and tiny humans and know how to keep him safe from being squished or dropped. He has never growled or shown the slightest hint of being nippy. He has yorkie hair, so he doesn’t shed, but his chi side keeps the hair at one length, so he won’t even need to go to the groomer for trims. He sleeps with me every night, and doesn’t move an inch. He puts his little face against my chest and sleeps all night. If I turn over, he just snuggles up against my back. When we first got him, he had apparently been put into a crate alone all day, so he thought he had to pee in there. It was pitiful. Now he goes into his crate when I can’t watch him, while he’s potty training, and he will let me know if he needs to go out. He always comes when he’s called, but honestly he’s never more than 5 feet from me. He jumps down off of the couch to play with Evie, our Aussie, and then when he’s done, he’s back in my lap. He sleeps in my lap through soccer games, dance class, school drop offs and picks up. I can’t imagine a more PERFECT dog. The adopters will need to work from home or be retired. Since he only weighs 3 lbs, he has a tiny bladder, but more importantly he just doesn’t like being alone. His ONLY flaw is that he gives too many kisses and he has stinky breath. He is 5 months old today.

Story
Poco is an incredibly sweet, clingy little guy who just wants to be by your side (or in your lap!) all the time. He’s the ultimate Velcro dog and would thrive with someone home often—especially a retiree looking for a loyal shadow. While he gets along with other small dogs, Poco would much prefer to be the only pup in the home so he can soak up all your love and attention. Poco is respectful around cats (in fact, he's a little scared of them!) and would do best in a home with older kids who understand gentle handling. He’s still working on his potty training and may lift his leg, but he's comfortable wearing a belly band in the meantime. If you're looking for a constant companion with a big heart and an even bigger desire to cuddle, Poco might just be your perfect match! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
