From Ale's Foster:
Meet Ale, a 2-year-old Chihuahua with a giant personality! She's a sunbeam-chaser, bird/squirrel spotter, and professional ball-stealer (all in good fun). She loves long 2-hour hikes, play-wrestling with dog friends, frolicking in fresh snow, and cuddling up in her own bed afterward. Baths and nail trims? Easy peasy. Her only diva move: she'll only eat edamame, strawberries, and pears at perfect ripeness can you blame her?
Best home: Active but also appreciates quiet evenings. She's social with people and dogs, and she's fine with alone time just let us know how long you'd typically be away so we can be sure it's a match.
Ale is ready to bring sunshine (and snow zoomies) to your life. Could you be her forever?

She loves exploring the yard, sniffing around, and occasionally digging up a little dirt for fun. Dawn is a quiet, gentle girl who enjoys relaxing nearby and being close to her people. She never makes a sound and just wants to feel included, safe, and snuggled up with the family.
She’s started discovering how exciting treats can be, and watching her personality come out more each day has been so special

Edith loves going walkies so that she can check her pee-mail and other wonderful scents that the outdoors has to offer. Matter of fact she is the first to get to the door to get harnessed up. She is really good about getting bathed and groomed so she looks her best. She is happy to stay in her crate, but outside in the garden she loves to explore and then lay in the sun. She currently resides with 4 other dogs and gets along with them all. Earning the love of shy dogs such as Edith is very rewarding.
