Story
*Looking for a special adopter for our tiny girl! You've heard of Sour Patch Kids...but have you heard of a Sour Patch Chihuahua? They're rare and we have one for adoption! Minnie is sweet and sour. One minute she's giving you a kiss and the next she's telling you off...then she's back to lovingly looking into your eyes and begging to be cuddled. Minnie was surrendered to a rural shelter when her owner was diagnosed with cancer and could no longer care for her. She's about 5 years old and only THREE lbs. If we had to guess, Minnie has spent the majority of her little life being carried around. She is currently in a foster home with several other dogs of all sizes. She does well as long as the other dog doesn't mind being bossed around by a Guinea Pig. She's working on pee pad training but has a way to go. Minnie is good in the crate and sleeps through the night without a peep. She LOVES toys and bones and will toss them around to herself for hours. It's the cutest when she gets the zoomies...she can really move! This tiny terror of a pup loves her person deeply! She would really enjoy an owner willing to take her for car rides, out for walks, buy her all the toys and treats, and carry her around all day long. Really, she's not asking for a lot. If you're interested in learning more about Minnie, apply at www.novapetsalive.org/adopt. *Minnie is spayed, up-to-date on vaccines, has been given dewormer and monthly preventatives, is microchipped, and recently had a dental.

Noa is starting to explore more. She loves to be outside and sit in the sun. Her favorite thing to do is sit in bed with a loving human. Noa is house and crate trained. She gets along with other dogs. Noa came to AFH from one of our rescue partners.  They were called by a Sheriff's Department in Florida to assist with a hoarding case involving '50 to 100' Chihuahuas.  When they arrived, there were over 150!  They were all living in a filthy home surrounded by trash and feces. There was no running water or electricity.  Accuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  For more information on the pet, please send an email to info@aforeverhome.org November 6, 2024, 12:43 pm

The trailer had no running water or electricity.  Our rescue partner said 'It was, honestly, one of the worst properties I've been on and I have been on some BAD ones.'  Thanks to our wonderful fosters we were able to rescue 8 dogs. Accuracy is not guaranteed; however, information provided is accurate to the best of our knowledge.  For more information on the pet, please send an email to info@aforeverhome.org November 6, 2024, 12:43 pm

Max is a happy little lovebug! He bonded quickly with his foster mom and follows her around the house. He is a lap dog and loves to snuggle and get belly rubs, though he is not too needy and is also content to just be near his foster mom. He sleeps curled up under the covers in bed at night.Max is curious and loves walks and exploring and sniffing outside. He would love to be the only dog in the home but could be okay sharing a home with the right dog. Thank you for your interest in Max!

This young man is super playful, but is not too thrilled with the puppies in his new foster home. He would rather a more peaceful environment. His loves his human foster family. His tail is constantly wagging! He appears to be house trained, but isn't thrilled to be crated. But he does settle nicely in a puppy pen at night. He weighs approximately 15 lbs Thank you for your interest in Jamie!

Story
Biscuit's foster shared this about him: 'He is totally house trained. He goes to the door and whines if he wants to go potty. He also does not chew on anything or act aggressively with my three small older dogs. I leave him loose in the house when I need to leave for a few hours, and everything is fine when I return home. He will howl and whine for a few minutes if you leave him alone in a room and he can't follow you. He likes to sit in your lap or in a dog bed during the day. At night, he wants to sleep in your bed. You have to lift him on and off of the bed, he is overweight, and he needs assistance. He does not like crates. He loves to go on walks, and he wags his tail and does not bark if he sees another person walking their dog. He has a great personality, and he will suddenly do zoomies around the house and play with a soft dog toy, but that only lasts for a minute. It is very comical when it happens. I think he would do best in a home where someone is home for most of the day. He rides well in a car. Biscuit is in the process of losing weight. He is looking for someone in need of a chunky BFF.'

Peanut is just that a little peanut! But not the salty kind. Instead, he is super sweet! Here is what his foster mother says of little Peanut: 'Peanut is such a sweet boy. He loves other dogs. I don't have any cats so I don't know how he would be with cats but he loves everyone he meets. He is adorable when he sees himself in his reflection he wants to play. He is funny about his crate, he doesn't fuss when he's in it but he runs the other way when it's time to get in. I think he thinks it's a game. He's a total sweetheart and a very fun little dog!

Story
ESTIMATE WEIGHT FULL GROWN: 12-14 lbs ESTIMATED AGE: 3 years KNOWN WITH DOGS: Lennox is good with other dogs but mostly ignores them. Will sometimes bark at bigger dogs while out walking - but hey, that's what Chihuahuas do! KNOWN WITH CATS: We do not know at this time KNOWN WITH KIDS: He was given to the shelter after a child in the family was known to pick on him - smacking and pulling - so we do not suggest Lennox for young children as he will likely show some fear of them given his past abuse. So far he has shown nothing but friendly, outgoing behavior to all he meets, but we want to set him up for success! KNOWN COMMANDS: Still learning but knows what "go outside means! We think he's some more under his belt but we're still getting to know him. KNOWN HOUSEBREAKING AND/OR CRATING: He is housebroken. He did mark once in the home when he arrived but has not done so since. KNOWN LIKES: He likes to give kisses, go on walks, cuddle and be cute. KNOWN DISLIKES: Children pulling on him - so he will be best with adults or kids over 10 years of age. ABOUT THIS ANIMAL: This adorably guy rides really well in the car, walks well on leash and is a well-behaved boy indoors. He can be a bit barky when seeing new people or dogs or around doorbell so he may be better suited for a house vs. apartment. He's a very cute, friendly dude who was not treated well in his previous home by a child so he deserves to have a place where he can be himself and not live in fear. He's a great little guy!!
