Story
Meet Sphynx! Sphynx is an adorable little terrier mix with the cutest coat—some silky smooth hair mixed with scruffy terrier fluff. We believe she may be a Yorkie/Border Terrier mix, and she’s truly as charming as they come. She’s about 4 years old and weighs just 9 pounds, making her the perfect petite companion. Sphynx is friendly, loving, and social, and she does great with other dogs. And those warm brown eyes will absolutely melt your heart. If you’re looking for a sweet, small best friend with a darling personality and irresistible face, Sphynx is your girl.

Story
Meet Your New Shadow, Sock Thief, and Bed Buddy 🐾 This tiny 8-lb Yorkie mix may be small, but his loyalty is huge! He’s a gentle little guy who starts off a bit nervous, then quickly decides you’re his person once trust is built - and from that moment on, congratulations, you have a devoted sidekick for life. He loves other dogs, gets along with cats, and is happiest when he has a furry friend to bond with. Toys are a favorite pastime, and treats? Let’s just say he would absolutely sell his soul for one. Training is a breeze when snacks are involved and he’s already mastered ‘sit’ and ‘paw’. He’s fully potty trained and pee-pad trained (overachiever alert 🚨). He’s polite in the house—no chewing shoes or furniture—but fair warning: if a sock is left unattended, it may mysteriously disappear and reappear later in his bed like a treasured prize. This little gentleman prefers companionship over crates and would do best in a home where he’s not left alone often (pet companionship is fine). He’s mastered doggie stairs and believes beds are for sleeping with people or dog friends. His energy level is low to medium, making him a perfect snuggle-then-play-then-nap kind of pup. He’s looking for a calm, patient family (ideally with another friendly dog) who will give him the time and love he needs to feel safe. In return, he’ll give you unwavering loyalty, endless affection, and possibly return your missing socks. If you’re ready for a tiny best friend with a big heart and excellent cuddle skills, this little Yorkie mix is ready to meet you! 🩷 NOTE: Because he’s pint-sized and a bit sensitive, Chewy would be happiest in a home without young children, or with calm, dog-savvy kids ages 12 and up who understand how to respect a little guy’s boundaries. 🐾

Story
Chai baby!!! (oops is that Ciao baby???) Ok, well, if you like tea then I am your girl! It could be Italian tea (do Italian's even drink tea?? :) I am Chai, and I am looking for the favorite family waiting for me!! I was found wandering in a neighborhood, with a bad eye :( And that was my lucky day!! I was saved by a nice lady and her family and they are fostering me! So you may notice that I had surgery and my bad eye was removed.... i will make an EXCELLENT PIrAte for Halloween!! My foster family loves me, I am great with their children, cats and other dogs... I am almost completely potty trained and I am kind of a silly girl. I am about 13# full grown and cute as a button! I love to beg, stand on my back legs and my feet begging for you to ...1) pick me up or 2) feed me, or 3) cuddle with me! ADOPT ME SOON! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $650 (includes transport to your area)
