Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet El Nina! This sweet little girl was found pregnant and was never claimed by anyone. We don’t know her history, but we’ve learned a lot about her in the past few months. This little girl just wants to be loved. She is very territorial and needs work being around people and other dogs who she doesn't count as her family. She needs a very good introduction to other dogs and will resource guard her people and space. She is looking for a home that will provide her with safety and security, but who will also teach her impulse control and will socialize her. She would likely be happiest as an only dog. A warm lap where she can be cuddled and loved is all she really wants. She is so sweet with her family members, but has a hard time with strangers, so a quiet home without many visitors would be great for her.   Apply to meet me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 5, 2024, 4:51 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hi there! I’m Princess Pixi, an adorable, 1.5-year-old female Chihuahua with the silkiest fur you’ll ever feel. Weighing in at just 10 pounds, I might be small, but I’ve got a big personality packed into my little frame! I’m a bit shy around new people, but once I warm up, I absolutely love my humans. I’m crate-trained and working hard on my potty training, too! I get along well with other dogs and kids, but I’d prefer a home with kids ages 12 and up. People often compare me to a squirrel because I love to zip around the yard like a little ball of energy! And I have a serious obsession with collecting things for my “den.” Yep, I’m a bit of a thief. Don’t be surprised if you find socks, pens, coasters, toys, straws, or even matchbooks tucked away in my crate—I’m not picky about my treasures! I’ll need a patient and understanding home that can help me come out of my shell. With some time and love, I’ll be your loyal, quirky companion. Can’t wait to meet you! If I sound like I could be your new furry companion please apply to adopt me at https://bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 18, 2024, 4:06 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Hi! My name is Temor. That’s French for fear. I’m a bit of a scaredy cat. If you have met any chihuahuas before you know that’s pretty typical. When I warm up to people I’m a real gentleman! I love my people. I want to be with them all the time. I love sleeping and snuggling with them under cozy covers. I am great with other dogs, at least dogs my size. I haven’t been around any big ones. But I think if they’re gentle with me, we could be friends for sure. I get along with cats too! Sometimes I try playing with them but I’ve never managed to get them to play back. I love toys, chewing on bones, and sleeping. When I trust that everything is okay and I won’t get hurt, I’m basically a mellow guy who likes to chill 24/7. Like I said earlier, I can be a little shy. I’ve never ever been aggressive, but younger kids might scare me a bit. I’m looking for a house with no kids or older kids. I do go outside to potty, but my foster mom still puts a belly band on me. I like to make sure a place belongs to me, if you know what I mean. But she says I’m improving! Oh yeah, I’m a small guy, less than 10 pounds! I’m also about 2 years old. I think that’s about it. I’m a great guy who is looking for a loving and patient home! Please come and meet me!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Panther! Hi! My name is Panther. I’m an 8-year-old male chihuahua. Being an older gentleman, I’m a little set in my ways. I like food, the occasional walk/sprint in the backyard, and a nice cozy blanket. If someone is snuggled with me in the blanket, that is even better! I take a minute to feel comfortable with people, but once I warm up, I think I’m pretty easy. Older kids would be better for me since I can be a little jumpy. I’m really good with other dogs but I don’t love cats. I sleep in my crate at night like a champion and sometimes during the day when my foster parents are at work. I know how to use a doggy door, but my foster mom says I need a potty-training schedule so that I don’t have accidents.  Maybe she just doesn’t understand my cues yet. I blame her.

Story
Lucky’s year has been anything but lucky. Picked up as a stray, he found himself in a local shelter. For reasons past understanding, his family didn’t come to get him. His luck changed a bit when he was rescued by Animal Advocacy and began his search for a new forever home. Lucky is a Chihuahua/Pug mix, about 10 years old. Don’t think he’s too old to be a mischievous little guy. He loves to counter and table-surf, so make sure your chairs are tucked in! Lucky loves to play with toys and snuggle under cozy blankets. He’s a very affectionate little dog and loves to get attention. Lucky would do best in a quiet home with a couple or a single person (no children, please). Lucky is learning a new skill at his foster home – using a doggie door to go outside. He’s doing very well. He would benefit from some training and consistent rules to help him reach his full potential. He hates being told “No.” If you have a little bit of room, some patience and a desire for a cuddly buddy, you really should meet Lucky. Lucky has been neutered, is current on vaccinations, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting Lucky and Maisie please complete our adoption application at uaaf.org. For more information, please text Maryjo at 801-809-0602 or email: maryjokorb@gmail.com.

Story
Take a minute to get to know Chloe. This sweet little dog recently lost her home because of a death in the family and she is still grieving. In her previous home, she was a devoted cuddle bug, happily curling up by her mom’s legs each night, enjoying a deep bond in a loving, multi-dog family. Now, she finds herself in a new environment where she’s still adjusting. Chloe appreciates having boundaries. She’s content sleeping on her cozy floor bed, feeling secure and at ease. When it comes to walks, Chloe does well on a leash and enjoys exploring. With a little encouragement, she will surely thrive in an outdoor adventure! While she gets along well with the canine companions in her foster home, Chloe prefers older, more laid-back dogs who respect her space. She enjoys roaming the yard alongside them, but gently shies away when younger, more boisterous pups try to snuggle in too close or lick her face. She would do best in a home without small children. Chloe’s health is a priority. She is on a weight loss journey that has already shown remarkable progress. Her new family will need to continue this journey with her, ensuring she maintains a healthy diet and regular exercise—rewarding her with the love and care she deserves. Chloe will also need regular dental check-ups, as her teeth require monitoring, but with the right care, she will continue to shine. She is working on learning house training in her foster home and is doing well. With patience and a loving touch, Chloe will flourish in a quiet home where she can feel safe and adored. If you’re looking for a companion who embodies sweetness and gentleness, Chloe is ready to fill your heart and ho me with love. Is your family the one to help Chloe really shine?l Chloe is spayed, current on vaccines, has tested negative for heartworm and is microchipped. If you are interested in adopting, please complete an adoption application on our website (uaaf.org/adopt). For more information, text Maryjo at 801-809-0602 or email maryjokorb@gmail.com
