Story
LOVES TO BE LOVED DOB 3/19/23 Hey there, everyone! I'm Poncho, a friendly, active, people-loving 19-pound golden wire-coated Portuguese Podengo Pequeno/ Dachshund mix fella who's just loves to be loved. I have the delightful reputation of being "the best snuggler," although I can be initially shy when I first meet people. You see, I was rescued from the care of homeless people who lived under the Beltway 8 freeway. You shouldn't be surprised that I have to be cautious and know that hoomans won't hurt me before I let down my guard. Once I trust you, I'm all yours and ready to exchange love and affection. I get along great with hoomans of all ages -- adults as well as kids -- and other dogs my size. I ignore the resident cats in my foster home. It's hard to determine my exact heritage without a DNA test, but I'll tell you a little what to expect if I have Podengo blood. Podengo means "rabbit hunter" in Portuguese, and that's what we were bred to do. Pequenos are the smallest of the three sizes of Portuguese Podengos. We're lively, playful, alert, highly intelligent, and independent hounds who make excellent family companions. We're tolerant, compliant, and eager to please our family. Loyal, easy-going, and loving, we make strong bonds with our family but can sometimes be suspicious of strangers. I hope that my adorable "scruffy terrier" appearance has caught your attention. If you're looking for a charming companion who relishes positive training and who is excellent at anything you ask me to do, I'm the fella for you! Arrange to meet me today. Let's start writing a new chapter in our lives together today! HOPE ID D24-0914-0036 If you are interested in Poncho and would like to fill out a Dog Adoption Application, please go to: http://www.homelesspets.net/adoption-forms/dog-adoption.php .

Story
Est. DOB: 4/1/2023, male, neutered, chipped, currently 13 lbs, chi mix BenTen is a small chihuahua mix who is passive, loves human contact, and is motivated to please his human. He gets along well with other dogs, but will give a low growl if a large dog comes too close. When his human is away for any length of time, he is exuberant and pushy to get his attention. He has started playing with toys and especially loves the noisy ones! He has a timid personality, is scared of the doggie door, but is working on his potty skills. He was found running scared along a busy street with another small dog. It took well over an hour to catch them as they were barking, running scared in and out of traffic, but once they had a slip lead on, it was clear he wanted to be loved. He sleeps well in a kennel overnight, waits patiently for his food to be ready, and doesn't steal food from others. He is the sweetest most gentle little guy and can't wait to show you how much of a difference he can make in your life! Please consider making this gorgeous boy a member of your family.

Story
My family and I got Sila after my grandma could no longer take care of her. Sila’s really sweet with humans, so we thought that might transfer to her attitude toward other dogs but it didn’t. We tried to do the step by steps of introducing her to our other dog but it was unsuccessful and their relationship is still tense. Sila’s age is unknown by the four vets we’ve taken her to, but it falls under the range of 5-10(it’s probably most likely eight). Because of her age, Sila will get spontaneous bursts of energy where she’ll run around really fast or jump really high which is surprising for her age. In contrast, she’ll also get depleted in her energy for a while and just end up sleeping. We’d like for Sila to have an owner who could run on her schedule and benefit from her clingy dog-kisses. We do let her hop on our furniture so that is a habit of hers, but she’s also used to the dog-wet wipes to clean up any messes she might’ve accumulated on bathroom trips outside.

Story
Carlita is a very sweet dog, she does better with an owner that will be patient with her and does not have other dogs in the home. We have owned her since she was 5 years old and is now thirteen. She did grow up in a home with a Chihuahua and they did get along but since another family member took that other dog Carlita has been the only dog in the home for most of her life. In 2023 we introduced a large dog into our home and it was a bit too much for her, she secluded herself in her crate most of the time as its where she felt safe, the new dogs size was intimidating to her. We loved having her in our life and she was my daughters first dog, but we want to find her a home that is more quiet and can give her a calm and loving home. I'm not sure how she will do in a new home but she is very sweet around people. She loves belly rubs, gentle head scratches, going on walks, laying in the sun, and being able to lay near her owner. We want her to find a loving home!
