Story
Meet Nugget, a 7-pound bundle of charm who is ready to steal your heart! This adorable 3–4 year old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix is as cute as can be, with a personality that shines just as brightly as his sweet little face. Nugget is always trying to impress, greeting you with a happy, wagging tail and a look that says, “Pick me!” Nugget is the definition of a true lap dog. His favorite place in the world is being held close, soaking up all the love and attention you’re willing to give. Whether you’re relaxing on the couch or riding in the car, Nugget is happiest curled up in your lap, often drifting off into a peaceful nap. He’s a wonderful companion for someone looking for a constant, loving sidekick. This little guy has great manners, too—he’s potty trained and settles easily into a home routine. Nugget is also very dog-friendly and enjoys the company of other pups, making him a great addition to a home with existing dogs or as a solo companion soaking up all the attention. Nugget is currently being fostered in a home in Seguin, TX, where he’s thriving and showing just how special he is. Due to his size and needs, he is not available for out-of-state transport. If you’re looking for a loyal, affectionate, and downright adorable companion, Nugget might just be your perfect match!

Story
This precious little girl was found in a extremely dangerous situation. I had seen a post about a dog running on the side of a busy four lane. In the pics I thought that she looked like a medium sized pup, maybe 30 lb. Regardless of her size, she needed help & she needed it fast. I had a quick conversation with the man above and said ,"If you need my help, you need to let me spot her on way to town today". Sure enough there she was, I spotted her immediately. This baby was so tiny and very pregnant. For several days I worked on building our relationship. I had learned her routine and found her safe place where I fed her daily. The following morning I set a trap and crossed my fingers and toes. Against all odds ,I got her within an hour & this little girl was exhausted and appeared so relieved. A few weeks later on Easter eve, CoCo Bunny gave birth to four adorable little nuggets "the bunny boys". She is such a special soul, excellent mommy and though she is learning to trust, she will LOVE you like you hung the moon. Her only quirk is that she wants to be with you 24/7. I personally think its because she doesn't want to be left behind ever again. I'm not going to label her "special needs" because her needs are really basic. It's about finding her person, that one needle in the haystack that loves as intensely as Coco does and will give her the attention that she deserves & craves.

Story
Ted is a 7-year-old Chihuahua mix who is looking for a home. He's everything you imagine a Chihuahua to be - a little sweet and a little spicy. He loves his people and sometimes rubs against legs like a little cat. On the other hand, he is stubborn and independent when it suits him. Squeaky toys are his favorite toys, and bird/squirrel/people watching is one of his favorite activities. He is quite expressive of his feelings when he sees furry intruders on his lawn! Another activity he loves is going for car rides. Ted has lived with another dog but may be best suited to be your one-and-only true canine love. Since he does have a wee bit of a spicy side, he would probably be happiest in a home without small children. He is up-to-date on vaccines, heartworm negative, neutered, and ready to embark on his next life adventure. Ted is currently in a foster home, so call to set up an appointment to meet him!

Story
Sophie is like a Sour Patch Kid: first she's sour, then she's sweet! She may be a bit unsure at first, but once she feels safe, Sophie's sweet side shines through. This is very typical of her chihuahua-terrier roots, and with a little patience, Sophie quickly blossoms into a loving companion. Once she warms up, Sophie becomes incredibly affectionate and will happily roll over for belly rubs within just a few days. She forms strong bonds with her people and truly loves being close to her favorite human. Sophie would do best in a calm, predictable home. She can be a bit bossy with other dogs, so any canine companions should be well-socialized, tolerant, and respectful of her space. A quieter household suits her best, as her previous home with small children and a large, energetic puppy was simply too overwhelming for her. She is house-trained, sleeps peacefully through the night in her crate beside the bed, and does great when left home. She may experience a little separation anxiety at first, but it typically fades within a few weeks and she has never been destructive. In her current foster home, she comfortably has free run of the house while her humans are away. An older couple or a single adopter looking for a devoted, snuggly companion would be absolutely smitten with Sophie. She’s ready to give her whole heart to someone who will give her the calm, loving home she deserves.
