Story
Lil Oscar is currently being fostered in Texas. 1.5 years young and the best boy! 43 pounds but still a little thin. 45-48 pounds would be ideal. We have him listed as a bulldog/ boxer mix. Lil Oscar is paralyzed on the left side of his face. This could have been caused by head trauma or stroke. He was found as a stray and picked up by ACS San Antonio. He was on the euthanasia list but the staff was so fond of him, they snuck him in the office and started begging rescues to take him. Because I have a huge heart for bully breeds, he is now an honorary chihuahua. Lil Oscar has no limitations, he just drools a lot on his left side. We add fresh pet or chicken to his dry food instead of giving him wet food and a large matt under his water and this helps him not be so messy. He still loves chewy bones and treats. He has so many great qualities, I am praying someone can see past the drool and love him anyway. ❤️ He is great with cats, kids, dogs. He walks perfect on leash, rarely barks, is potty trained, well socialized and he is a giant baby. He is full of love, so gentle, doesn’t jump up on you and he is great with little dogs too. He has a beautiful white coat, does not mark, squats to pee. He is a gentle soul and full of so much love to give. So please give him a chance.

Story
Meet Buttercup! This sweet little Shipoo is about 7 years old and only 16 lbs. She’s a very sweet, affectionate, and gentle little pup. She does require regular grooming appointments for her coat. We’re looking for an experienced adopter for this sweet pup. Buttercup MUST be the ONLY dog. She does not get along with other dogs at all. Not even for visits. She will select her “person” in the house and not leave their side, this little one is very attached. She can be possessive of her people. Buttercup did share a household with a cat for a brief time and did well, but the cat would need to be very dog savvy and slow introductions. Right now Buttercup is used to having her human around all the time and makes a darling little shadow. She is loving with her people and will happily curl up beside you and always wants to snuggle. Buttercup also loves to dance when she gets excited for walks or training sessions. She is a picky eater, but loves cheese. She is also housetrained and has not had an accident in her current foster home. She is also good with letting you know when she needs to go outside. Back in July 2023, Buttercup had 2 lumps removed from her mammary glands. They were benign mixed mammary tumors. More of these may develop in other random mammary glands. The risk that any will become malignant is less than 10% as per her medical records. Buttercup is not a fan of car rides, resulting in anxiety in the car. She is making good progress on this, however her new home should have patience with her as she acclimates to car rides. She is also an incredibly gentle girl and has been great with the child in the home. Older dog savvy children only. She prefers to sleep close to her people, either in the bedroom or on the bed. Sudden movements and loud noises can startle her. She does get anxious in new situations, but patience and understanding and keeping things calm will help her relax. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle, loving pup, Buttercup may be the one for you.

Story
Rosalina is currently being fostered in TEXAS. Rosalina was an owner surrender with her sister Luma. Rosalina is approximately 7 years old and a chunky overweight 16 pounds. She definitely needs some exercise and to be on a diet. Rosalina was very nervous when she first came in, but she is extremely sweet. Rosalina is a submissive dog and she gets along with all dogs, cats and kids. Rosalina walks well on leash. I still have not heard her bark. She is potty trained, travels well in the car, loves people and attention. She’s not a huge fan of change or chaos and it makes her nervous. She is not as confident as her sister and she would prefer a home that is pretty low-key without a lot of change. She is a quiet and easy going dog with a gentle demeanor and a huge heart just waiting to learn to love again. Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.

Luma is currently being fostered in TEXAS. Luma does have a cherry eye, but she will be having that removed on June 20th. Luma and her sister Rosalina were owner surrenders.

She walks well on leash, she is potty trained, is great with cats, kids and dogs. She is good in the car and has an overall great demeanor.

Story
LUNA is currently being fostered in TEXAS. Luna is the sweetest girl. The smallest of her siblings and the calmer one of the group. I think she has a bit more chihuahua in her than the rest. Luna is apx 4-8 months old and 10 pounds. She will probably be about 15-20 pounds fully grown. Mama is a chi mix about 15 pounds. We are guessing by the looks of the other siblings there is some chi, maybe a dash of pug and daddy may have been a border collie. Luna is social, happy, loving, adorable, and you just can’t help but want to love on her. She is going to make a wonderful part of your family and will certainly make your days brighter and your hearts fuller. Luna is great with other dogs, cats and well mannered kiddos.

Story
Jackie Jackie is a female, 1.5 yr old 23 pound mix, fully grown, full of life, full of love, full of energy and always the life of the party. Jackie does not know a stranger and does not have a shy bone in her body. She has a big dog personality in a little sized body. She is great with dogs, kids, people, but we are NOT 100% sure she would be good with cats. I do not think she wouldn't purposely hurt a cat or a very small dog, but she is very playful and may be a little much for a very small or very old animal. Jackie is a good girl and she needs some basic training but listens well, learns quickly. She responds well to treats, positive training and has the potential to be a very good family member. A busy family that either has a yard or is able to take her to dog parks, walks and outdoor adventures to let her get out some energy. Jackie is active and would do amazing with an outdoor family or someone that likes to hike or run. She is great in the car, good on leash, is not scared of anything, she loves meeting new people, dogs, and is a social butterfly. That being said, Jackie also still likes attention and can absolutely cuddle on the couch with you or sit down and chill for a bit, but that is of course after she gets out her zoomies 🙂 ***Updated info July 9th - Jackie has turned into a crazy pants. She is now the jumper and very mouthy. Mouthy meaning she puts her mouth on you a lot and we are working on trying to break this habit.*** Although she is bigger than most of our chis we did take in a couple of bigger (for us) dogs from our local shelter because they are beyond full and euthanizing dogs because there is just not enough space. We had to step up and help. Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.
