Story
Hey, hey! Milo here- just wanted to check in and see how everyone is doing? My life is going pretty dang great, however I am missing one thing. It’s a family to call my own! My last mom owned me since I was just a puppy until now. She could no longer care for me so I found myself as an orphan… I wasn't socialized much as a young pup so I am more of a one or two person kind of dog. I am up for any adventure that involves just spending time with me! I love laying on the couch watching Netflix, a good football game or a nice long walk. I found myself stuck to my foster mom like her little shadow, but she has lots of other shadows too so I want to find my own family. I get along with all dogs as long as they are respectful of my age and size, I don't mind cats at all either. Fast moving kids will not be my thing, they are just so unpredictable and loud. I love to be cuddled and snuggled. Sleeping under the covers is a must as my hair is so fine I get cold easily. I have mastered this potty thing and haven't had accidents in weeks now! I am off leash trained but only to my one or two special humans. If you think you could be one of my special humans- apply for me today! You can apply for me at: https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adopt Name: Milo DOB: 5/5/19 Weight: 17 lbs Breed: Chihuahua mix Sex: Male Altered: Yes Adoption: 400 Good with Cats: I don’t mind kitties! Good with Dogs: Yes, of course. Good with Kids: Older, calmer kids preferred. Special Requirements: None *Positive reinforcement obedience training is a great way to bond with your new family member. It can also help set up a relationship with greater odds of success integrating your new pet into your family. Anyone who provides proof of completed positive reinforcement training will receive a 100 dollar refund from Fetch Foster and Rescue Inc! If you have questions or are wondering if the class you want to take qualifies please reach out! ♥ Fetch Foster and Rescue Inc is a 501c3 non-profit organization ##2185215##

Hi, I’m Rowdy – The Snuggle King, Ice Cream Connoisseur, and Bone Bandit Extraordinaire Breed: Chihuahua/Poodle Mix | DOB: 5/3/19Weight: 17 lbs of pure snuggle | Adoption Fee: $400 Apply to adopt me – you won’t regret it!What’s up, future family?Name’s Rowdy—but I swear I’m more teddy bear than troublemaker. I’m just a little guy with a big heart, a love for ice cream, and a talent for burrowing under the covers like a champion.Let’s get this out of the way: I am the best kisser in the tri-state area. No contest. If you don’t like puppy smooches, we might have a problem. But if you do? Buckle up. Here’s the Lowdown on Me:• I’m shy at first. I won’t lie—I need some time to warm up to new people. Loud noises and sudden movements? Not a fan. But once I trust you, I’m the clingiest, coziest cuddlebug you’ve ever met. I will be in your lap, under your blanket, and possibly stealing your pillow.• I LOVE to snuggle under the covers. It’s basically my full-time job.• I enjoy going to dog bars and sipping on a good puppuccino while pretending I’m cool and mysterious.• I will eat all the ice cream you allow me to have. No shame. Sharing? Never heard of it.• I’m great with other dogs (especially chill ones) and I’m cool with cats—as long as they’re the kind that don’t mind me being a little too friendly.• Got a bone? Cool. I’ll probably borrow it. “Forever” is a flexible term, right? What I’m Looking For:• A calm home where I can settle in at my own pace. I need people who understand that gaining my trust is like winning the lottery. But instead of cash, you get a best friend who follows you to the bathroom.• A secure fence, because if I get scared, I might try out for the doggy Olympics (fence-jumping edition).• Another easygoing doggy sibling who doesn’t mind sharing their snacks and showing me the ropes.• Kids? I can do respectful, dog-savvy kids who know not to interrupt a man during his beauty nap or when he’s hiding in his safe spot. Potty Talk (Let’s Be Real):I’m doing awesome with house training—as long as I have a consistent routine. I’m not a wizard. I need structure. And also treats. Lots of treats. Bonus for My Future Fam:If you take me to a positive reinforcement training class, you’ll get $100 back from Fetch Foster and Rescue! That’s like… so many doggy donuts. (You don’t have to spend it on me, but, like… you should.) In Conclusion:I’m quirky, I’m cuddly, I’ve got a smooch that’ll melt your heart, and I just need someone who’s willing to go slow and love me lots. In return, you’ll get a best friend who snuggles hard, naps harder, and will never turn down a road trip to the ice cream shop.If you’ve got a cozy couch, some spare bones, and a little patience—I’ve got a whole lot of love (and probably a little dog drool) to give. Wanna meet me? Let’s make magic. Apply to adopt me here!https://www.fetchfosterandrescue.com/adoptWith licks, snuggles, and sweet dreams,– Rowdy ##1098397##

Story
WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org ✨ Meet Daren, a gentle little guy with a big heart tucked into his 10-pound frame. This Chihuahua mix may be a bit shy when you first meet him, but give him a little time and patience, and you’ll see his sweet personality start to shine through. Daren is the kind of dog who bonds deeply with his people and loves having a calm, predictable environment where he can feel safe and secure. Because of his sensitive nature, Daren would do best in a home with older children who understand how to be respectful and gentle with him. Once he’s comfortable, he enjoys quiet companionship, cozy spots to relax, and being near the people he trusts most. The good news? Daren should do just fine in a home with cats, making him a great option for a multi-pet household. If you’re looking for a loyal, soft-hearted companion who just needs a little time to blossom, Daren might be your perfect match.

WE ARE A TX-BASED RESCUE. THIS DOG IS CURRENTLY LOCATED IN TX AND WILL BE TRANSPORTED UPON ADOPTION. Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org ✨ Meet Dorie, an adorable 3-month-old Chihuahua mix who’s ready to find a loving forever home! Though a little shy at first, this sweet pup quickly warms up and shows a gentle, affectionate personality that makes them impossible to resist. Dorie would do best in a calm home without small children, as she can be a bit timid, but older, respectful kids will be just fine. This little one gets along well with other dogs and would likely enjoy having a canine companion. With proper introductions, she should also do well in a home with cats. With a little patience and lots of love, this shy sweetheart will blossom into a loyal and devoted companion. If you’re looking for a gentle pup to grow with your family, Dorie the Chihuahua mix could be the perfect match!

Please fill out an adoption application at haydudeequine.org 🍯💛 Meet Honey — A Tiny Drop of Sweetness with a Whole Lot of Love 💛🍯 Female • 8 Months Old • 7 lbs • Chihuahua If happiness could be bottled up into 7 tiny pounds of pure love… it would look exactly like Honey. At just 8 months old, this little Chihuahua is already a professional snuggler, certified kiss-giver, and full-time heart melter. She’s the kind of pup who doesn’t just sit next to you — she melts into you, like she’s been saving up all her love just for that moment. Honey is incredibly social and friendly, the type of girl who believes everyone she meets is just a friend she hasn’t cuddled yet. People? Loves them. Other dogs? Yes please. Cats? Totally fine. She’s basically the “get along with everyone” committee chairperson. Her personality is beautifully laid back and easygoing, making her the perfect companion whether you’re relaxing on the couch, working from home, or just need a tiny shadow following you around making life better. Her daily hobbies include: • Snuggling like it’s an Olympic sport • Handing out sweet little kisses (free of charge!) • Perfecting her “pick me up, please” eyes • Being adorable… effortlessly • Light napping with occasional cuddle breaks And while Honey is mostly sugar and sweetness, she does have a tiny dash of sass — just enough to remind you she’s still a Chihuahua with opinions (mainly about when it’s time for more snuggles). Honey is the kind of dog who will quietly, sweetly, and completely steal your heart — and then curl up in it like it’s her forever home. 👉 Apply today at haydudeequine.org and let Honey add a little extra sweetness (and a whole lot of love) to your life. 🐾💛
