Story
Below Bio is written by the Foster Mom: Taylor and Kelce are both happy, playful, and smart girls. They just need time to get to know you before their true personalities come out. Especially Kelce. They need a family with patience. They have done great with my two bigger dogs (GS and Husky). I think both would do better with a family who has older kids or no kids. I have a 4 and 10 yo and they seem to make the girls more nervous than anything. Both also do great in a crate. Taylor is the alpha of the 2. Her and my alpha figured it out pretty quick though and are best of friends. She loves balls and does the cutest bunny hop when playing with them. This girl loves to eat so don't leave anything you don't want her to have out. She has definitely adapted more while here and loves to play. They are both super smart and seem to learn commands pretty quick as well. Taylor is crate and housetrained. If you are interested in adopting Taylor, please complete an application for adoption on our website. www.chloespetrescue.org Taylor’s adoption fee is $25, which includes her vetting. She is fully vetted.

Story
~~Although we do our very best to make sure your new pup is in tiptop health before adoption, things could drastically change a month later.  Since we don’t have a long health history of your adopted dog, we can only treat the pet for whatever symptoms present during the initial exam and follow up exams.~ Health: Successfully treated for heartworm disease. ***** No other obvious issues found during vet exam ***** Temperament: Petey is an 10+ year old chihuahua mix who loves family time! His favorite thing in the world is to snuggle in your lap & under the covers! During the day he is a perfect work-from-home buddy who will sleep at your feet in a dog bed. Petey goes potty outside like a champ and can hold his bladder all night and for many hours during the day. He will come right to you when called. He gobbles up breakfast & dinner and loves treats. Petey takes a bath well and as a short haired dog, does not require professional grooming. He is grumpy and will fuss about getting his nails trimmed, though…so watch out!! Petey will not go for walks on a leash but will be carried. He shakes when he is nervous and excited- typical of this breed! We call him our little jitterbug. He only barks at a doorbell and occasionally when out back. He is friendly to all strangers but does not do well around children under five. If you love chihuahuas and all their funny quirks, Petey is your man! He would be best as an only dog, but will tolerate another small dog if necessary.  He is not a fan of big dogs or cats, but adjusting to them in foster home. -- Where did he come from: Owner was moving and had to downsize her dogs.   Adoption: ***** $100.00 ***** Weight: 10 lbs. Approximate age: 1/1/2014 ADOPTION APPLICATION: http://www.recycledpoms.org/application -- Email info@recycledpomeranians.com to request a printable application. --   ------Please remember our group is made of only volunteers all of whom have full time jobs, foster fur-kids, and families of their own, so please be patient.-------- November 4, 2024, 11:59 am

Story
Meet Stitch: The Chihuahua with a Heart Waiting to Trust Again Introducing Stitch, a 5-year-old Chihuahua weighing approximately 13 pounds. Stitch was recently surrendered to Chloe’s Pet Rescue after his owners were displaced. Adopted from the SPCA several years ago, Stitch likely hasn’t seen a vet since—but we’re happy to report he is heartworm negative and ready to find a home where he can finally feel safe and loved. Chihuahuas have a reputation for being a bit particular, and Stitch is no exception. He is not a dog for everyone and absolutely cannot go to a home with children. Stitch needs someone with patience and a gentle touch to help him feel comfortable and learn to trust again. We don’t know what he’s been through in the past, but we do know that with the right person, he can learn what it truly means to be loved. If you’re up for the challenge and have the heart to give Stitch the love and understanding he needs, please submit your adoption application today. We are also searching for a foster home where Stitch can begin his journey of healing and trust. Are you the one who can show Stitch what love really is?

  Meet Sophie – Your Loyal & Loving Companion!   Sophie is a beautiful two-year-old Great Pyrenees with a heart as big as her fluffy coat!

She would thrive in a home where she can be part of the family, whether lounging by your side or joining you for outdoor adventures. As a typical Great Pyrenees, she’s intelligent and independent but also incredibly devoted to her people.   She would do best in a home with a fenced yard where she can stretch her legs and enjoy the fresh air. If you’re looking for a loving, loyal companion who will bring warmth and joy to your home, Sophie might be the perfect match for you!   Could Sophie be your new best friend?
