Pedro

Hi… my name is Pedro,

Adopted 6-4-18

I might be too shy to tell you this when first we meet, but I’m a lap dog—a quiet little guy who’s really happy to cuddle up with you any time. For the past 2-1/2 years, I’ve been lovingly cared for, but now my person needs to go to an assisted living facility and so I’m here on my own, torn between being pretty bashful and really wanting to meet a kind person who likes little dogs—maybe me especially. I’m a well-behaved, loving, 4-1/2-year-old Chihuahua male with a brindle coat and big brown eyes, 11 pounds (could lose a few), leash-trained and housebroken. I seldom bark, but if you’re my forever person, I’ll always let you know how much you mean to me. May we please start our contented, happy-together life today?

Lacey

Hi… my name is Lacey,

Adopted 8-7-18

My rescuer said when he found me, I’d apparently been out for a while and was tired. Oh, my yes! I’m a 5-1/2-year-old Chihuahua female, just 9 pounds, so being alone in the big wide world was scary every minute and there was no time to rest. Even after being rescued, I wasn’t sure how to tell friend from foe, so I made funny noises at everyone and cuddled down deeply in my new comfy bed. And I slept. What a relief! At first, I didn’t even want to go outside again, but gradually, fear is subsiding. I’ve received medical care, lots of gentle encouragement, and now I’m glad to be here—a safe place for dreaming of the best place ever: A loving home, where kindness abides. Will you make my dream come true?

Lionel

Hi… my name is Lionel,

Adopted 5-11-18

When my person moved into assisted living, I was so worried about leaving home that I was described as “scared to death.” Once here, despite gentle reassurances from understanding people, I trembled so hard the toys in my room were shaking, too. Today, if you look in my eyes, you’ll see I’m still worried about strangers, but I also can’t help but be interested in them. Is that one friendly? Does she have any of those tiny biscuits in her pocket? Right now, I’m more comfortable with men, but that doesn’t have to be a permanent thing. Very slowly, I’ve become acquainted with women here and turns out they can be nice, too. I’m a 4-year-old blonde Chihuahua mix male, and if you’re a patient, kind person, I’d love to feel safe again with you.

Leon

Hi… my name is Leon,

Adopted 4-25-18

I can safely say that whoever you are, you’re bigger than me. A 1-year-old Chihuahua male, I’m just 6.2 pounds, so you can imagine how scared I was to be lost—and how grateful I was to be rescued. Unfortunately, my finder’s other dogs didn’t like me, but that’s okay. I’m here now, where I’m discovering that new friends can be wonderful. Oh, I’m still timid; when someone makes me feel secure, I like to stay with them, but I’m also venturing out—stepping forward in my fenced-in patio in TALGV’s Den, hoping to meet a patient, understanding someone who’ll teach me things, introduce me to fun, and share a big love with sweet, tiny me. If you could be my someone, please let me suggest that we start our happy life together today!

Buttercup

Hi… my name is Buttercup,

Adopted 4-12-18

I need a new home because my person is working so much he feared I was being neglected. It’s true, I have been lonely, even worried sometimes, but here at TALGV, I’ve discovered a fabulous solution: A volunteer takes me to a great big room (well, “great big” from my 8-1/2-pound perspective), and all we do is play and cuddle. There are dog toys, sometimes I run around, and then we just sit and keep each other company. It’s the most fun ever! I’m a 1-1/2-year-old Chihuahua female who loves people—kids and adults, and in the past I’ve gotten along with another dog, didn’t chew on things or make noise. But I do yearn for your company, love and affection. If you have those gifts to give, all I really need is you.

Sugar

Hi… my name is Sugar,

Adopted 2-11-18

My people gave me up because, they said, I’m “too much of a puppy for being 8 years old.” But from my perspective, that can be a compliment! I’m a senior dog with a young dog’s enthusiasm—I love life and people! Match that with the adult dog things I’ve learned and you have a great canine companion. (Here’s hoping you agree!) For example, I’m housebroken, leash-trained, know some commands, and will sleep in a crate if you like. In my former home, I was okay with kids, liked to play ball, and had no problems around the other animals I met. I’m a very sweet 26-pound Chihuahua/Jack Russell Terrier mix female, and if you’re okay with an 8-year-old who still enjoys the happy, fun times in life, I’d love to be your dog!
