Yasou was a puppy mill dog that is healthy. The Humane Society saved him and a couple adopted him. With them, he seamed to be afraid of the man and would hide.

There he was fostered by another couple that felt he was just shy with that husband and would come over for attention. In our care he seams to be fine with men so it could just be the man he was originally with. He instantly kisses women and stands on his hind legs waiving his front paws for you to pick him up!

<<Presenting adorable BURT!
BURT was tossed from home to home and then kenneled, and now we are working with his personality to place him in his loving, everlasting home! This precious little guy is as sweet as a banana split with all the toppings, although he has challenges of being possessive of “his things.” It's surely because he's always felt the need to keep those things close, since he never knew when he'd be sent away again. This possessive behavior is also common with Chihuahuas. Burt is learning to correct it, and he's a good student! Burt is an eager learner....I've been successful in simply saying "get off" when he gets on the couch, and he gets right off of it. Once this baby is in a home with a loving, forever family and he knows your rules, he'll be so happy! He so wants and deserves to be adored! Burt gets along with other dogs, but when he gets into his bed, other dogs need to stay away. We're working with a trainer (Edel Miedes) right now, and he has gotten Burt to this adoptable state. This baby has been through so much in his short life! Burt only weighs 9 pounds. He's small, but he's thick and muscular. He is about 6-7 years old, and he's VERY playful! His adoption comes with our trainer to show you how to assimilate Burt into your home and family. Won't you please give this special little boy a chance to know love and happiness?

Joey is a fun loving happy boy who shared a lot of joyful memories with his family for eight years. They say he is wonderful and that he never met anyone he did not like! Joey was woken up out of a sleep by a toddler, with the toddlers arms around Joey’s neck, and he reacted with a bite. Now Joey is homeless. The family took good care of him medically and he has a well rounded personality, SERIOUSLY! We have had him meet new people & dogs of all ages and he is affectionate! He was just startled and reacted. Its not a normal thing for him as his previous owners said. He is a Shih Tzu about 18 pounds and is a fabulous hugger. He sits on his foster moms lap upright with is head on her chest and his paws on her shoulders while she is on the computer! He is eager to please and so cheerful to be around. If you have a compassionate toddler free home Joey would love to hear from you! His adoption donation is $300 to go towards his vetting shown below. If you are interested please fill out the application.>>

 

SEE KOBE'S VIDEO

 

<<Kobe- A woman found Kobe in a warehouse district at night as she was driving home. The next day she had him scanned for a microchip and he did not have one so she went door to door in the neighborhoods near by. She eventually found his owner and she said"I put him out, why did you bring him back!" When we took Kobe to our vet we learned that Kobe has an injury to the left eye and has been given medication for it. Right now the vet does not think he has any vision out of that eye and has partial vision in the right eye. Judging by his teeth he only seams to be 5-6 years old. His blood work came back healthy and will had a dental cleaning along with his regular vetting. Kobe Loves to play and has found a buddy with Lennox (miniature Poodle). They play hard and are always sleeping with each other. Kobe is only 10 pounds and a real lover boy. He is friendly and goes up to strangers with a wagging tail. He gets around the houst fine and enjoys the yard for potty time. He just needs a real home to love him. We purposely did not list him as special needs so you would read his story and understand how wonderful he is. We have video available of him playing with Lennox under his photos. Kobe's adoption donation is $150 to go towards his vetting shown below.
