It's the little things in life... like me :)
They call me : Rico
Predicted Breed: Chihuahua mix.
Sex: Neutered male.
Approximate Age: 6 year
Weight: 10 Lbs.
Rescued from: Local surrender
Likes: Rico loves food, walks and his person. He has become really attached to me and prefers me to anyone else. He is so cute and funny and spins around with excitement when you get home. He makes lots of different noises like mumbling and grumbling and snorting. He is such a goofball and loves his toys.
Dislikes: He does not like strangers or anyone coming to the front door. I believe with training his barking at the door can improve. He doesn’t love other dogs but we have only seen him around a larger dog who’s excited tail hits him in the face.
Ideal Home: An ideal home for Rico would be a no dog home with a female owner. He is not afraid of men but definitely prefers females over males. He is low energy but still enjoys his daily walks and his play time.
Attached home, Detached home, Condo, Quiet home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Energy Level: Low
Experience with Kids: No kids recommended
Experience with cats: Yes
Medical Needs: None
Training Needs: Rico will need a slow and proper introduction to new people. He will initially take some time to warm up to his new family but once he does he becomes the most amazing pup. He is under socialized with other dogs so this will need to be worked on with him and needs to be done correctly, likely he would do better around calmer dogs. Rico should not be around children or should be very carefully monitored around children as he has some trauma around them and doesn't react well to them in his space. Rico does resource guard his bed.
Knows other commands, Pee pad trained, House broken, Bed/couch aggression, Crate trained, Nippy, Shy, Fearful, Protective, Walks on leash
From rico's Foster:
Rico is such a sweet boy. He is a bit slow to trust but once he decides you are one of his people he will be by your side forever. He loves to cuddle and have head scratches. He will play fetch with his toys and sometimes you’ll catch him growling and playing on his own with his favorite ones. Rico walks on a leash perfectly and doesn’t pull or show any leash reactivity. He is crate trained and will run right in if you ask him to. He is a special boy who will thrive in a quieter home.
Will work for treats
They call me : Pretzel
Predicted Breed: Chihuahua mix
Sex: Neutered male.
Approximate Age: 6 year
Weight: 7 Lbs.
Rescued from: Los Cabos, Mexico
Likes: Pretzel loves to be close to his humans, he loves head rubs and sleeping next to me as much as possible. He snuggles up in his dog bed and sleeps most of the day away and seems perfectly content. He's very food motivated (he'll try and climb up on you when eating next to him but his behavior is easy to correct with a few tries) and loves meeting new people. He also does really well in the car and really enjoys going for walks and being outside.
Dislikes: Pretzel does not like his crate and it's a challenge to get him to go in and stay in without him barking and whimpering to get out. He seems to respond well to soothing music to help him relax but would rather be free to roam the home. Pretzel does not like other dogs and would not be suitable for a home with another dog.
Ideal Home: Pretzel would do best as the only dog in the home. He is easy going and really just wants to be loved by all humans.
Attached home, Detached home, Senior home, Quiet home, Active home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Energy Level: Low
Experience with Kids: unknown
Experience with cats: Unknown.
Medical Needs: Pretzel is on puppy food to help him gain weight. He has grade 4 luxating Patellas in both back legs
Training Needs: He would benefit from basic training. Pretzel may not know English as he does not respond to basic commands (I have tried Spanish terms but that does not seem to work well either) but responds immediately when I snap my fingers. He's super docile and easy to care for and for the most part uses the pee pads (although gets really excited when I come home and pees on the front tile often). He is still getting used to the feel of grass on his feet. Also, Pretzel is curious about toys but so far has not shown any real interest or understanding of how to play with toys. Lastly, because he eats quite quickly I have found that using a slow feeder bowl works quite well to slow him down.
Pee pad trained, Needs basic training, Barks indoors, Barks outdoors, Walks on leash, Excitement Reactivity
From Pretzel's Foster:
Pretzel is the sweetest, most loving and gentle boy who just wants to be snuggled up next to his human(s). He loves a good head and belly rub and simply melts with physical touch. He loves to meet new people, is very food motivated, does great in car rides and walks and really seems to enjoy exploring new spaces outside. He would be such a great addition to any home that wants a gentle love bug to spoil.
Just U & Me Fur-ever
They call me : Yolanda
Predicted Breed: Chihuahua mix.
Sex: spayed female
Approximate Age: 6 year
Weight: 15 Lbs.
Rescued from: Los Cabos, Mexico
Likes: peace and quiet, sitting with you on the couch, short walks on warm days and treats
Dislikes: loud noises, new situations
Ideal Home: Yolanda will require a home with no other dogs or other animals. She resource guards around other dogs. She is scared of new people and would require proper introductions to visitors to her adoptive home.
Attached home, Detached home, Quiet home, Left alone 2-4 hrs only
Experience with Kids: Yes
Experience with cats: Yes
Energy Level: Medium
Medical: None
Training Notes: She is pee pad trained and goes out on a leash. Yolanda would benefit from basic training.
Pee pad trained, Needs basic training, Shy, Fearful, Walks on leash
From Yolanda's Foster:
She is a LOVE BUG!!! All she wants to do is sit with you and love you. She is so cute too. Because she is shy it is so rewarding when you see her come out of her shell. She wags he little tail and smiles every morning. She always is offering her belly for pets once she is comfortable. She is SO SO easy!!! I have never had a foster dog this easy!! No barking, no chewing, no marking, my kids joke that she is basically a stuffed animal!!! She must have been a mother in a past life because whenever there is a kid near her that she feels safe with she is always trying to lick them clean. Also she is sure to do her walk around after they are done eating to make sure she has cleaned up after them under the table. She would be an amazing family pet for anyone who can take the time to make her feel safe and loved.
Paws-itively perfect in every way.
They call me : Zafiro
Predicted Breed: Poodle mix.
Sex: spayed female
Approximate Age: 2 year
Weight: 16 Lbs.
Rescued from: Los Cabos, Mexico
Likes: Likes toys, cuddles, napping.
Dislikes: Dislikes walking on hardwood floors and her reflection. She doesn't appreciate how beautiful she is in the mirror.
Ideal Home: Zafiro would do well in most homes however would be best with an experienced adopter.
Detached home, Left alone during work 8+ hrs
Experience with Kids: recommend only children over 12 yrs
Experience with cats: unknown
Energy Level: Low
Medical: Zafira has allergies to certain foods so she needs to be on a special diet
Training Notes: She would benefit from basic training. Although she walks well on the leash, if she meets another animal, people or bikes on her walk, she does display leash aggression which her adopter will need to work with her to overcome.
From Zafiro's Foster:
Zafira is a sweet, clumsy girl with a heart full of love and a nose for comfy couches. She’s the ultimate snuggle buddy—always down to curl up beside you after a round of goofy playtime.
Zafira is fully potty trained and totally chill when left alone. She’ll happily spend her solo time lounging, or napping. She can be overly excited when she sees other animals out the window therefore would be best in a detached home.
Come meet her—she’s ready to find her forever home!
