"Stevie" is a 4-5 yr. old neutered male Chihuahua mix. This poor guy has bounced around by no fault of his own. He was originally surrendered to the shelter by his family in March of 2022, most likely due to being adopted as a 'Covid dog'. He was then adopted and returned after a week when this adopter decided they really didn't 'need a dog'. Then he was adopted just long enough to get settled in, when that owner surrendered him due to her health failing. "Stevie" once again sat at the shelter wondering if he even had a family out there somewhere. Now he is at the ranch and patiently waiting for the chance to find that special someone that he can settle down with. He is a sweet guy that needs to find someone to form a forever bond with. He seems to be a little sight impaired, however, you would not notice it easily. He gets around fine and has no issues. He is housebroken and does not lift his leg! He weighs 16 lbs. He is good with other dogs, however, he does guard his food from other dogs. He is current on all his vaccines, is microchipped, and his adoption fee is $150.

"Cheeters" is a very special 10 yr. old spayed female Chihuahua!
This special little girl ended up in the shelter when her human could no longer care for her. She suffered an autoimmune disorder which caused her to go blind in both eyes. One eye had to be removed and she needed a dental as well. This little girl is such a trooper and never allowed any of this to bring her down! She is the sweetest little thing and is truly such a special baby! She deserves the very best of homes where she will be loved and cherished! She is good with other dogs & kitties. She needs a home without a pool and will need to be in an environment which remains the same. Once she learns her new environment, she will get herself around just fine, as long as the environment is unchanged. She cannot be on a bed any longer for safety reasons. She loves her doggy beds and curling up with a buddy, as you can see in the pictures of her and one of her buddies. She had quite a few of her teeth extracted, however, she still eats dry food and requires no special diet. She does use potty pads, however, much of the time she will not find her pads so she will require a tile floor that can easily be mopped up when needed. She is a very happy little girl and just wants to be a buddy to someone. She is a true blessing!
