Hi! I’m Jax!
I’m a Chihuahua mix in need of a new home because my beloved owner sadly passed away. My friend Stewart and I are a bonded pair and need to be adopted together (see his profile below). I’m more reserved and enjoy a comfy lap to sit in. I know basic commands, walk well on leash, and I’m crate and paper trained too. I see myself as the boss and can be a finicky eater and a bit of a nipper. I like to cuddle, but on my terms. We’re older, less active little guys who are good with other dogs, but it’s unknown how we would do with cats. I’m not good with children and need an adult only home with lots of human company.

Hi! I’m Stewart!
I’m a Chihuahua mix in need of a new home with my pal, Jax (see his profile above). We’re a bonded pair and need to be adopted together. I’m eager to please and enjoy a comfy lap to sit on. I know basic commands and walk well on a leash. I’m crate and paper trained and know how to use a doggie door. I am a complete love bug and will follow you everywhere. I love treats and food. Even with no teeth, it doesn’t stop me from having a big appetite. Jax and I are older, less active little guys who are good with other dogs, but it’s unknown how we would do with cats. Jax isn’t good with children, so we need an adult-only home and lots of human company.

Hi! I’m Dodger Dog!
I’m an affectionate Pit Bull mix in need of a new home. I know my breed gets a bad rap, but I hope you’ll come to meet me and then decide for yourself what an easy-going guy I am. I enjoy being with my people and going for walks. I’m good with other dogs and children, but no cats please. If you have a fur baby in the home already, please bring him/her along so we can do a meet and greet. I know basic commands and will let you know if I need to go outside. I have skin allergies and I’m being given medicated baths and allergy medication to keep it under control. I went on a mobile and was very well behaved at the event. I’m used in dog handler orientations as I’m a good walker, have no issues meeting new people and I’m not reactive coming out of the kennel.

Hi! I’m Maddie!
I’m an affectionate American Bull Dog/Pit Bull mix in need of a new home as my owners are homeless and living out of their car. I’m an active dog who is crate trained, sits on command and walks well on leash. I enjoy being around people and going for walks. It’s unknown how I’d do with children or other dogs/cats in the home. On walks I do not care for other dogs I see or the sound of motorcycles.
