Story
Meet McPeachy !! This guy is a real character. He’s a very active, fun and high energy little guy. He is ready for an active family to entertain him. Mcpeachy is a Male, 9 month old, Chihuahua mix. He may have some whippet mixed in which would explain his energy level. He weighs 13 pounds and is full grown. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. He is Heartworm negative. Mcpeachy is a whole lot of puppy in a small package. He is full of life and always ready to go. He loves playing with other dogs and a playful hyper companion would be wonderful for him. He is a social and happy guy. He loves everyone. He’s not your typical chihuahua in that respect. He’s outgoing and down for any adventure. Mcpeachy gets along with and loves all other dogs. He doesn’t care if they are big or small. He is hyper so make sure your dogs are ready for an in your face playmate. He hasn’t met any cats yet. He would likely try to play with them and I doubt they would like that. A bold playful cat that stands its ground might be okay. He loves everyone including kids however he is still very much a puppy. He’s hyper and has a tendency to play bite on hands. We’ve been working on it but it’s definitely a habit for him. He’s is also very bouncy and jumps all over people. His wild tendencies are likely too much for smaller kids although it’s nothing aggressive. Kids a bit older would be fun companions for him. Mcpeachy does have a fairly high energy level and needs a place to run and play all day. He does like to cuddle for a few minutes here and there when he’s tired but is not at all a “lap dog”. He is always on the go and moving around. We were surprised the first time he actually took a quick nap lol. He’s a lot of energy and likely will be lifelong. If you’re not prepared for a wild and crazy guy then he’s not the one for you. He definitely needs a fenced yard to run in. He did well on car rides. He has done wonderful with potty training. He’s crate trained and doesn’t protest to much if he’s had enough exercise prior to going in. He’s done well sleeping in the crate overnight. He’s pretty good at leash walking. He’s had no trouble sharing his dog food treats and toys with other dogs and people. This fun little puppy was adopted twice from the shelter and returned prior to our rescue taking him in. Please understand that we are telling you up front that he’s a lot. He’s hyper and wild and constantly playing. He is on the go constantly. He’s a wonderful puppy for a family looking for a very active dog. Please don’t adopt him unless you truly can provide the right type of home for him. Mcpeachy is high on life and ready for all the adventures. If you’re looking for a fun active dog in a small package then he may be the one! **Due to his need to run he will need a fenced yard. He is tall and lanky for his size so 4ft or above so he doesn’t get out. Vet and home checks required. Fenced yard required. 4ft or higher Located in Hampton VA. (He will need to be adopted within a 2 hour drive radius) ‼️Please message VillageDogResource@gmail.com directly with questions or to get an application. ‼️

Story
This boy is a gem! He's absolutely perfect, a real turnkey dog. Fostered in Vero Beach, FL, small enough to fit easily into a bag for in-cabin flying. Enrique is a 7 year old, 7 lb male Chihuahua. He’s tiny but mighty, and a lil bit stocky. This super sweet social butterfly boy is an easy keeper and steals the heart of everyone he meets Enrique gets along with dogs of all sizes, cats and has never met a stranger. He is playful and affectionate with other dogs and would enjoy a canine companion but people are his PASSION! We have not seen him around children so perhaps older children would be best with his tiny size. His favorite place is in your lap or snuggled up in your neck. Enrique is fully vetted, even bloodwork and a dental with 15 teeth removed, ouch. Enrique is great in the car and on a leash. He is truly a dog that you can easily take anywhere and even housetrained. He does need help getting into the bed so will bark to let you know he wants up. Snuggling, snoozing and snacking are Rique’s favorite pastimes, and he loves a little play time. He is content to stay in bed or explore the town. Enrique is fostered in Vero Beach, and his fee is $350. Visit www.nakedkissesdogrescue.org to read our policies and to apply.    December 18, 2024, 4:21 pm

Story
Meet Dakota! She came to us when her owner passed away and the family could not keep her. She is a 4-year-old, spayed Chihuahua mix that weighs 16lbs. Dakota does well with cats (especially kittens) and dogs; we have not tested her with children. This is what her foster has to say about her: Dakota is the best cuddler. She has been through a lot in her short life and gets nervous when things change. She is playful, she likes playing with dogs but kittens are her favorite! She does not like being crated; she does fine out alone. Whoever adopts her will have a great new little family member! Remember, adopting a dog means committing to them for life. You will also need to give her time to adjust to her new home and its expectations. If you're interested in adopting Dakota, please don't call. Instead, complete an online application on 4 Paws Animal Rescue's website at www.4pawz.org. We carefully review the care history of past and current pets. Our goal is to find the very best homes for all our dogs and cats, so we reserve the right to approve or deny applications based on what's best for the pets. #dogsareworthit #adoptdontshop #chimix #rescueisthebestbreed #lovedogs #dogs #dogsareacommittment

Story
Meet Chico! Chico is a 6-7 year old little guy who was surrendered to us when his owner could no longer care for him. Chico is a reserved fellow until he decides that he trusts you. He is fairly independent. He wouldn't do well with young children. He is happy sleeping in his favorite bed just knowing you are around. Chico does well with other dogs and cats. Chico does not care for leash walking but can be trained. He tolerates car rides OK. He is doing well with re-housebreaking as long as he’s let out every five hours or so. Chico prefers soft food. He enjoys Pepperoni treats! Chico had a bad habit in his previous home of barking and running after people who are leaving. He has not done this in his foster home. Chico is not crate trained as he behaves well in the home. He has ridden in a crate in the car and goes fine. Chico loves to sleep deep under the bed covers. He will sleep out on the sofa as well. Chico is a quiet fellow and will make an excellent chill companion! Chico is neutered, HW negative, vaccinated and micro-chipped. If you are interested in meeting him our application can be found at www.homesfurhounds.org. He is located in Williamsburg, Va.

Story
Meet Peanut Peanut is an older fellow (11 years) but pretty spry and full of life! He is a Velcro dog that loves to be with his person, which is pretty much anyone who gives him attention. He is friendly towards strangers. Peanut needs to be fed soft food ( doing well in Science diet sensitive skin and stomach) and he loves small bits of Pupperoni for a treat. He is a homebody who would prefer to walk around in a fenced yard but will walk on leash if needed. He is doing well with re-housebreaking as long as he’s let out every 5 hours or so. Peanut enjoys car rides too! He will sleep in bed with you or out on the sofa. He has not been crate trained as he does fine when free. Peanut does well with cats and other dogs as long as they respect his space. His only negative trait is fear of thunderstorms. He will run off if scared. He trembles and shakes until the storms pass. Overall Peanut will make a great companion! He is smart and engaged. Peanut is vaccinated, HW negative, neutered and micro-chipped. If you are interested in meeting Peanut our application can be found at www.homesfurhounds.org. He is located in Williamsburg, Va.

Story
Meet Parker!  This precious little guy is 4 years old and about 12 lbs.  Evidently Parker did not have a very good life prior to joining Critter Cavalry.  We think he was bullied by another dog.  He is a 'sit on the sidelines and watch' kinda guy who doesn't really want to play with anyone.  He doesn't mind the other dogs and definitely is not mean.  He would just rather be with people.  Parker is super sweet and loves people.  He just wants to be where his foster mom is.  Parker would be a wonderful companion for someone that just wants one dog and who would like a dog they can take places.  He would love that and would love to be friends with all your friends.  He is just precious and very friendly.  He gentlY smells you to make sure you are OK and then he is good.  He was smiling during his photo shoot and seemed to enjoy all the attention.  If you are looking for a loyal companion then you have found him in Parker.  Parker is doggie door trained, neutered, current on all shots, heartworm negative and microchipped.  To be considered for Parker's forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Parker is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)November 4, 2024, 11:48 pm
