Julio is a diminutive 5.5-lbs neutered male Chihuahua with super-model long legs who was rescued from a high kill LA County shelter. He is around 8-months to a year old. This frail little lover is best in an adult only home with no large breed dogs or small children. He is very playful, has a very happy disposition and is ACTIVE! Julio would excel in Agility as he is super fast and very agile. When he has expended his energy he wants nothing more than to be in your lap, or prancing along side you on a walk, or carried like a King. He is best placed with another small breed dog in the home, as he loves to play. Julio has been trained to “take care of business” outside and is not pad trained. He has lived with cats, whom he tries to get to play with him!
Alberto (Bertie to his pals) is a 3- year old, neutered male Chihuahua who weighs about 6.5-lbs. He is a submissive male so gets along well with other dogs of a similar size and would be best placed with another dog of a similar size with whom he can play! He is pretty low-key, so we suspect he will have no issue with his feline cousins. Bertie crates and travels well and has impeccable leash manners. Bertie has been trained to “take care of business” outside and is not pad trained. He is easy to train and a fun little Guy who would excel in learning tricks. He so wants to please! Due to his diminutive size no large dogs or small children, please.
Jacque the AKC Papillon was surrendered by his Owners to us as they were relocating and were unable to take him. Jacque is a typical Papillon, aloof to strangers at first until he decides you are not a threat to his Pet Parent. He weighs around 13-lbs, so is larger than breed standards, is active and enjoys (and needs) walking a couple of miles a day. He has very nice house manners, crates and travels very well. An adult household is best for Jacque. We have given him a dental and he is overall very healthy for his 9 years young of age. Papillons are long lived so he is middle aged by human standards. They are a shedding breed and Jacque requires a daily brushing. Jacque is living in a foster home with other small breed dogs, although he would be just as happy being an only dog, as he bonds very closely with his Pet Parent. Jacque’s mortal enemies are cats. He has been trained to “take care of business” outside and is not pad trained. Jaccque is not a Beginner dog – he needs someone experienced specifically with his breed as well as a leash reactive dog .
Romeo is a 5.5-lbs, 18-month old neutered male Brindle Chihuahua. He was abandoned on a busy street, where a Guardian Angel was able to pull him to safety out of the heavy traffic in which he had been left to fend for himself. This little guy has perfect leash manners, travels and crates well and is overall a little lover. He loves to play with his foster fur-brothers, yet is also quite happy to chill and relax in front of the TV. Due to his diminutive size he needs to be in a home with no small children or large breed dogs. Romeo has fondness hear his own voice when he is playing with other dogs, but otherwise is a perfect little Gentleman. Romie is living in a foster home with another small breed dog and a couple of cats, with whom he likes to play with but also respects their space. Romeo needs to have a garden and another doggie companion with whom to play. Romeo has perfect manners and can go anywhere, so if you want a traveling companion Romeo is the guy for you! He has been trained to “take care of business” outside and is not pad trained.
Niles is a 2 year old, neutered male Pomeranian X Chihuahua blend who weighs in at around 5-lbs. He came to our rescue after he ended up at a high kill LA County shelter as a stray and even though he has a microchip his previous Owners never came for him. Niles is a absolute darling. He gets along well with other small breed dogs and will no doubt do fine with cats. He is playful and very loving. Niles crates well for sleeping and for traveling in the car. He is used to being carried more than walking on a leash but with his stunning good looks who would blame him for wanting to be carried so people can see him! Niles has been trained to take care of business outside and is not pad trained. Due to his diminutive size no large dogs or small children, please.
Ryder is a 4-year old neutered male Pomeranian who was surrendered to our rescue due to his Owner’s unfortunate deterioration of her health. Ryder is a larger Pom, weighing in around 15-lbs. He is very loving, super smart, like all Pommies and overall pretty laid back. He gets along well with other dogs, but can be a bit bossy at times. He is used to cats (which he will occasionally chase) and large birds. Ryder would be best placed in a home without small children, as he is not used to them, but has been around teenagers. Ryder is in a foster-to-adopt situation at this time.
Tucker is an 18-month old Yorkie X Schnauzer mix who weighs about 9.5-lbs and came to us after being abandoned by his previous Owners. He is good with other dogs and is a social butterfly around people! This little guy crates and travels well, is active and would love a furever home where he can be loved for who he is – a little dynamo of fur! Tucker is living in a foster home with other small breed dogs. He is best placed in a home with a garden and another small breed dog with whom to play with enthusiastically. He has been trained to “take care of business” outside and is not pad trained. Tucker has successfully graduated Basic Obedience.
Honey is a 7-lbs, spayed female Chihuahua who was rescued from a high-kill LA City shelter, where she ended up through no fault of her own. Honey is currently living in a foster home with a Toy and two Medium Sized doggie companions, a parrot and budgie. This little girl is very loving and affectionate and would be a great companion for a single person or couple who are retired or semi-retired or a family with older children (due to her size). Honey is in a foster-to-adopt arrangement at this time.
