Are you the missing piece of Azzy’s incredible transformation story? This beautiful, youthful soul first arrived at the shelter as a timid and shy dog, finding the world a very scary place. She was timid around new faces and loud noises, but with patience and gentle encouragement, she has made significant progress.
Azzy’s sensitivity is truly a gift. Once she knows you are a friend, she is deeply affectionate and will melt your heart with her puppy spirit and sweet cuddles. She’s looking for a calm, predictable home where her new family understands she might need a little time to warm up.

Meet Gunner! 🐾
Hi there, my name is Gunner, and I’m a big-hearted pup with tons of love to give! I’m an affectionate, friendly, and loyal companion who’s always ready to make my humans smile. Whether it’s going for a walk or snuggling up on the couch, I’m happiest when I’m by your side.
I’m a smart boy and eager to learn, especially when it means being the best good boy in my forever home. I get along well with most dogs and even some dog-savvy cats—though I do enjoy a little chase now and then (what can I say, I like to keep things interesting!).
If you’re looking for a funny, loving, and devoted companion, I just might be your perfect match. Fill out an application and come meet me—I can’t wait to wag my tail just for you!

Meet Cooper
Cooper is a 2-year-old, 13-pound Chihuahua mix with a big personality packed into a small, muscular frame. While he may be a little shy when you first meet him, don’t let that fool you—once Cooper warms up, his true self shines through! He’s fun, energetic, and full of life with just the right mix of spunk and snuggles.
Cooper lives for long walks and adventure, so an active household is a must for this little guy. Whether it’s a stroll through the neighborhood or a weekend hike, he’s always ready to go. And once he’s had his fill of activity, he’s more than happy to curl up right in your lap for a good cuddle session—he truly is the best of both worlds.
He would benefit from an owner familiar with chihuahuas and training to help with his separation anxiety, confidence and his barking.
Cooper would benefit from a confident canine companion to help boost his own self-assurance, so a home with another friendly dog could be ok. However, he’s not a fan of cats, and due to his playful nature and sensitivity, we recommend a home without young children.

Opal is a petite, 2-year-old Chihuahua with a big heart and an even bigger love for cuddles. If you’re looking for a loyal lap dog who enjoys her daily walks followed by cozy snuggles on the couch, Opal might just be your perfect match.
She can be a little nervous when meeting new people, but with patience and kindness, she quickly warms up and becomes a devoted, affectionate companion. This little lady thrives on human connection and would love to be your one and only. Opal prefers having her people all to herself, so she’s best suited to a calm, adult-only home without other pets.
Opal originally came to us with her brother, but we’ve found that she’s truly blossoming on her own. While they care for each other, their personalities and needs are quite different, and Opal is doing much better with a little independence.
She may be small, but she has a lot of love to give—and she’s ready to give it all to the right person. If you’re looking for a sweet, spunky little shadow who will be your constant companion, Opal is waiting to meet you!

Meet Lincoln
Lincoln is a spirited 2-year-old chihuahua mix with a big personality and a bit more to love—he weighs in at 25 pounds, making him larger than your typical chi. Energetic and playful, Lincoln loves long walks and thrives in an active home where he can get plenty of mental and physical stimulation.
He’s looking for a dog-savvy, adult-only household with no other dogs. So far he has done well with cats.
True to his breed, Lincoln can be vocal—he’s not shy about expressing himself, especially when he’s excited or uncertain. Lincoln is also working on his manners-he tends to jump up on people when he is excited, so continued training will help channel that energy in a more polite way. He’s also working through some separation anxiety, so a patient adopter willing to provide structure and continued training will be key to his success.
Lincoln would do best with someone familiar with chihuahuas and their larger-than-life personalities—someone who can offer consistency, affection, and the space he needs to decompress, settle in and thrive.
If you’re ready for a loyal, energetic companion who’s full of heart, Lincoln might just be your perfect match.

Anastasia—Ana for short—is a stunning 2-year-old Shepherd mix with a gentle soul and a playful spirit. She came to us as a stray, so it’s no surprise she’s still a bit unsure about shelter life. But despite all the recent changes, Ana has proven to be incredibly resilient, tidy, and perfectly housetrained.
She absolutely loves going for walks and is always ready for a game of frisbee—she’s got the energy and enthusiasm of a true athlete! Like many Shepherds, she can get a little mouthy when she’s excited, so she’s looking for a home that can help her channel that energy in positive ways. Because of her size and playful nature, Ana would do best in a home without young children.
Ana is hoping for a calm, patient environment where she can fully decompress and feel secure. She’d thrive as the only pet in the household, where she can have all the love and attention she deserves.
If you’re looking for a smart, active companion who’s ready to learn, bond, and blossom—Ana just might be your girl.
