Breed: Chihuahua Mix Weight: 8.5 pounds Sex: (S) Female Adoption Fee: $325 Learn More
Dahlia is a very sweet and loving once she feels trust for her human (less than a week for me). She listens when spoken to. Is curious, but not in a pesky way. Loves to give 'kisses'. She likes to know where I am, but doesn't need to follow me into the kitchen if she's comfortable on the couch. Likes to sit on my lap while I'm at the computer. Is food motivated. Loves affection. Energy Level? Medium House trained? yes Describe how they are on a leash? Good. Getting used to the harness-jacket-leash putting on routine. A little squirmy from excitement. Describe how they are with other dogs? She is good with dogs. She will bark/whimper on walks when she sees everyone. She wants to meet and play. She would do well with other dogs in the home. Have they been around cats or other animals? How were they? She has not met any cats. While on leash, she was very interested in a street cat. Commands they know? Stay (kind of). Let's cross (while on a walk, when it's time to cross the street). Let's go (various instances). What are their favorite things? Being close to her human. A bed in the kitchen while she watches/waits for dinner. Walks (2x day; plus an early-afternoon potty stroll). Food, even fresh vegetables/fruit. What do they need to work on? Containing her excitement. She will alert bark at passers-by while we're out on walks. How are they when left alone? How long have they been left alone? I think she would be fine, but since I work at home, she was not left for too long. I think she'd appreciate having a dog-buddy in her home. Where do they sleep? In her crate w/door closed. She likes a treat before I place her in her crate. She got used to the crate after a couple of nights. What is their ideal home? As long as she feels safe, I think she'd be fine in most households. Another dog would be good. Not sure how she'd be around children/cats. She's able to handle stairs. She is a great little dog. |

LilyAge: 7 years old
Breed: Papillion/Terrier Mix Weight: 14 pounds Sex: (S) Female Adoption Fee: $325 Learn More
Lily is the sweetest girl, and her story broke our hearts. Just two days before Christmas, Lily was surrendered to the shelter by her owner’s next of kin after her original owner passed away. While at the shelter, staff noticed her crooked jaw, and x-rays confirmed she had been living with a painful fractured jaw. We rescued Lily as soon as we learned about her condition. Because of the severity of the injury, we took her to UC Davis, where specialists determined she would need corrective surgery and a plate placed to repair the fracture. In preparation for surgery, six of Lily’s teeth were extracted. Her surgery is scheduled for February 18th. Despite everything she has endured, Lily’s spirit shines. She is gentle and loving with everyone she meets, and she adores dogs and even goats. She is an absolute trooper and deserves a life free from pain. Please keep Lily in your prayers as she prepares for surgery. If you are able to donate, please consider helping us continue our mission and give Lily the care she so deeply deserves. Lily’s journey is not over yet, but she is finally on the path to healing. |

He has a little separation anxiety and does cry at least when I leave and when he hears you come home until you let him out. Where do they sleep? In an exercise pen in another room. On the first couple of nights, he cried for about an hour, but since then, he has settled in easily. I know he would love to sleep in the room with you if you'd allow it. What is their ideal home? Atti loves attention and is high-energy. He'd do well in a home with one or more people who could spend a lot of time with him playing, going on multiple walks, and even just hanging out.
