Kenny (aka Keno)
Chihuahua
Male/neutered/shots current
10 lbs "has lost 7 lbs"
6 years old
Kenny is an elegant and
sweet little boy who very much needs to find his forever people. He asks
very little for himself other than to enjoy a good meal, a car ride now and
then (which he loves) and mainly to cuddle up with those he loves. This
is a little boy who very much needs to feel attached to his family. He tends
to strongly attach to one person but does warm to others with no
fuss. Kenny does fine with other dogs, cats and strangers, as long as he
has time to "warm up" and doesn't feel rushed or threatened.
He would benefit from a reward based obedience class to boost his confidence.
Kenny would do best in a home where he was not left alone all day. He is
used to the company of other dogs and would really love to have a stay at home
person and another small dog companion, if possible. It is really
time for him to find his family. He has a lot to give.

Teddy (fka Keanu)
Chihuahua X
Male/neutered/shots current
22 (still chubby lbs)"lost 7 lbs"
6 years old
This confident and outgoing six year old little boy is looking for a
family to call his own. His foster mom thinks he must be a Chihuahua/corgi
mix (chorgi) with those straight up ears and tubular body. She showed
corgis, so has a good eye for them. He looks at you intently and
wrinkles his little forehead. Teddy is a sweet boy who loves to go - anytime/anywhere.
Because he is outgoing and confident, he would benefit from training to
help him understand what his humans are expecting of him. He gets
along well with other dogs and when he sees dogs playing wants very much to
join in. He also is fine with cats. As Teddy's personality
is more dominate than submissive, he would do best in a home with no small
children. He is used to being with other dogs and would very much
appreciate being able to have another dog to play with. He is very
much committed to his weight loss program and loves to go out everyday
for exercise.

Susie
Schnauzer
Female/spayed/shots current
App. 7 years old
22 lbs.
WANTED: ONE QUIET, SOFT SPOKEN, GENTLE FOREVER PERSON
My name is Susie. Something happened in my past that scared me very badly so sudden moves startle me terribly. Have you ever had that happen to you, where someone scared you so badly that you thought your heart was going to jump out of your body? In time with love and patience it can be overcome but so far no one has given me a fair chance. That's why I need someone whose very nature is to move slowly, gently, calmly and talk quietly and don't think you can change it in the first few days. You can be a lady or a gentleman as long as you are the quiet type who moves with that relaxed, carefree style. Remember, patience is ALWAYS rewarded greatly and you won't be sorry with my devotion to you if you're the right person for me.
I like lap sitting but I want to get up in your lap by myself. Once I settle myself in your lap we can share some time together doing whatever you like - reading, watching TV, listening to music, but please pet me while we are cuddling. I LOVE to be petted and if you stop a little too soon I'll let you know by nudging you with my head. I love going for car rides as well as walking through the neighborhood. Oh - did I mention that I really prefer to sleep on the bed with my human? I just need my perfect human(s) beside me...the perfect human who has a calm, gentle personality by nature. Snoring is OK! That doesn't come under sudden moves and noises.

Twinky
Chihuahua
Female/spayed
6 years old
15 chubby lbs
Twinky, Twinky, Little Star,
Now I wonder where you are,
My own family for ever more,
Be it just one or be it four,
Twinky, Twinky, Little Star,
Let me be the one you adore.
Hi everyone,
Just as there are a million stars in the sky, there are a million dogs in the
world who are unwanted and need homes. I've worked so very hard to do all the
right things and be the best I can be to deserve my forever home. I was
overweight through no fault of my own. People just didn't feed me the right
things either because they didn't care or didn't know better. I'll continue to
work hard for my dream forever person and home. I'll be good if you have to go
to work and leave me alone for awhile but I will miss you. I'll take you for
walks every day so we can both be as healthy as possible and live a long life
together. I'll be happy whether I'm an only dog or if I have some brothers and
sisters. I can be happy in an apartment, condo or a mansion. It makes no
difference to me as long as I'm loved and I can love you back. I'm also not the
barky, yappy kind of dog so that's a bonus and don't you just love my unique
color? I'm dictating this message to a typist who thinks my fur color is just
elegant. Oh, and that reminds me, I can live without my own personal secretary
if you'll just adopt me and love me.
How about it? Could we be happy AND healthy together?

Winston
Cockapoo
Male/neutered
6 years old
The groomer decided to groom him as a poodle:
To anyone who doesn't want to adopt me, please address me as SIR WINSTON.
I'm so dignified that I should be wearing a monocle, like an English Lord.
When I put that stuffy old dignity aside, I love to be held and snuggle.
And shhhhh - don't tell anyone but I like to sleep with my Lord and/or Lady.
I am normally very mellow. I won't scratch at the door to be let in or out so your castle will remain in good condition. I do need to you to hook up my royal leash and join me on a two mile hike every day around our "kingdom". Now, don't go and groan about that distance. It's good for both of us.
My other specialties are I sit, roll over, will do a stay, and I love to ride in the royal coach.
CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET? I am physically sensitive on my left side and I haven't told anyone why. So I need you to help me out by finding the most caring and gentle groomer possible because it hurts if someone accidentally pulls on that side while grooming me. My foster mom thinks I was hurt badly by someone at some point but I'd prefer to not discuss it.
I have a quirk that I'll warn you about so you won't be surprised. I try to be dominant a bit over big dogs but we dogs get that resolved very quickly. It's a doggy thing, you know, especially with my royal attitude. :-)
I will be extremely loyal to and protective of my new forever family. Until I know every person that is welcome in your castle, you will need to escort me to meet each new person and I will greet them very nicely as long as you're there telling me that person is an "approved visitor to the castle." If any other scoundrel enters our royal habitat without your permission, I might not be responsible for what I could do. To the gallows with any trespasser..... just kidding.
So what do you think? Are you the forever person(s) who will share your castle with me? I'd even be happy in the gatekeepers house if you'll love me, and understand my needs.

Tito
Chihuahua
Male/Neutered
5 years old
5 lbs
Hi to all my peeps! I'm Tito. A super cool and fun Chihuahua. I was found as a stray and picked up by animal control and taken to our local shelter. I was bit nervous there so those great people at the Humane Society sent me over to Furbaby where I am happily hanging out in a foster home with other Chi.
I like other dogs and people and am very easy going. I enjoy the finer things in life... a good warm bed, a plushy toy just my size and a nice chewy...
I do have a bum leg. The great folks at Mountain Veterinary Hospital checked me over and it appears I may of been injured a long time ago and had surgery to repair some torn ligaments and tendons. As a result I am a bit lame, but the vet said they doubt I have much pain. I do walk with a limp at times, but I am ok other wise.
My foster home has noticed that I do show some mild resource guarding of my food from other dogs (not people) this is common, as I lived on the streets for a while. I am getting training for this and hope to have it resolved by the time I go to my new home
I am hoping for a nice
quiet home where we can enjoy watching TV or just hanging out. Give me a
call and lets get together and see if we are a good match!
Update: Jan 11/10
His resource guarding is gone he will eat with
the group now he just takes longer then everyone. He also loves his
greenies he would eat those for dinner if I would let him. As for his
leg that still is a issue.....it is a problem for him with our dog door.
It has to open and he rocks a time or two before he can jump to get out of it.
He still won't do the steps no matter what I do he would rather sleep at the
fireplace then climb the stairs to bed. He loves the bed once he get up
in it, he wraps him self it the covers and stays all night. I call him
Tito the burrito....He Loves It!!! . He is a doll baby!!!

You all may know me as Chunky B... but I asked to have my name changed since I am not so chunky anymore! It really does not reflect who I am striving to be now.
My name is now Chuppie (rhymes with Soupy)
I was originally surrendered by my previous owner to our local shelter and due to my weight issues I needed a secure foster home where they knew I would stick to a regimen of good food and lots of exercise, so of course they called Furbaby Rescue.
I am loving life living in my foster home with 4 other Chi. I am in heaven, beds everywhere, open laps to lounge in... its fabulous.
I am a very well socialized Chi, I like other dogs and people. I am perfectly crate trained and potty trained (I use a doggie door like a champ) Like all Chi I enjoy sleeping under the covers or wrapped up in a blankie. In my foster home they have cats too, I try to chase them "sometimes" but they are SO fast! Sometimes I just let them walk right by, I guess I have to be in the right mood to bark at the cats.
I am quiet, not a barker. Of course I am ahppy to alert you if something needs your attetion, but my foster family says for a Chi, I am quiet. I like playing with toys, and enjoy a bit of tug from time to time. I am a TOTAL heat seeker... most Chi are.
You can always find me on a bed that I have pushed up to the heat register.
A history of bad dietary habits gave me some bad teeth, so I went in to the vet and had to have some of them pulled out. (just in the front) But all the rest are now clean and sparkly! My tongue does hang out a tiny bit, sometimes but everyone says its SO cute. At first my blood work showed high liver values, but with all my weight loss.... I am super healthy now!
Right now my life is all about walks, love, snuggles and good healthy food. The vet says they want me to get to 6 lbs then I will be the perfect weight.
My new perfect home would be with someone who loves to snuggle, talk walks,
meet people and other dogs. (big or small, I like em' all)
Let me know
if you think we could be right for each other!

Here in this
House....
*
I will never know the loneliness I hear in the barks of the other dogs 'out
there'.
I can sleep soundly, assured that when I wake my world will not have changed.
I will never know hunger, or the fear of not knowing if I'll eat.
I will not shiver in the cold, or grow weary from the heat.
I will feel the sun's heat, and the rain's coolness,
and be allowed to smell all that can reach my nose.
My fur will shine, and never be dirty or matted.
Here in this
house...
There will be an effort to communicate with me on my level.
I will be talked to and, even if I don't understand,
I can enjoy the warmth of the words.
I will be given a name so that I may know who I am among many.
My name will be used in joy, and I will love the sound of it!
Here in this
house...
I will never be a substitute for anything I am not.
I will never be used to improve peoples' images of themselves.
I will be loved because I am who I am, not someone's idea of who I should
be.
I will never suffer for someone's anger, impatience, or stupidity.
I will be taught all the things I need to know to be loved by all.
If I do not learn my lessons well, they will look to my teacher for blame.
Here in this
house...
I can trust arms that hold, hands that touch...
knowing that, no matter what they do, they do it for the good of me;
If I am ill, I will be doctored.
If scared, I will be calmed.
If sad, I will be cheered.
No matter what I look like, I will be considered beautiful and thought to be
of value.
I will never be cast out because I am too old, too ill, too unruly, or not
cute enough.
My life is a responsibility, and not an afterthought.
I will learn that humans can almost, sometimes, be as kind and as fair as
dogs.
*
Here in this
house...
I will belong.*
* I will be home. *

stop by often.
There will be more furbabies needing forever
homes.
