Meet Bowie!

At 14 weeks old and around 13 pounds, Bowie is expected to grow into a perfect medium/large-sized 40–50 pound pup. With his pointy ears, puppy-dog eyes, and confident little strut, he turns heads everywhere he goes.

Bowie is the whole package: curious, playful, and smart. His foster says:“Bowie has so much personality! He sleeps through the night, is doing great with potty training, and spends most of his time watching us with those big puppy eyes. He’s eager to learn new tricks and such a good, good boy!” He is a goofy
boy who loves to snuggle and get lots of love!

He’s food-motivated and quick to learn. He is already sitting for a treat and eager to keep adding to his trick list. Bowie enjoys bully sticks, stuffed animals, and can happily entertain himself or play with kids and other dogs. He sleeps soundly through the night without accidents or destruction.

Sweet, smart, and confident, Bowie is ready to grow into your loyal best friend. Originally from Puerto Rico, he’s looking for his forever family…maybe with you?

Apply today to meet Bowie!

Meet Chica!
Affectionally known as Thumbalina and formerly known as Otto (small girl with a lot of names lol!)

This little brindle beauty may be small in size, but she has a heart as big as they come! At just 4 months old and weighing a few pounds, Chica is a scruffy sweetheart with a cheerful spirit that lights up every room she enters.

True to her name, Chica is tiny but mighty: playful, curious, and always ready for fun. She loves exploring, bouncing around with toys, and soaking up attention from her people. After playtime, she’s more than happy to curl up in your lap for some well-earned snuggles.

She’s paper trained, working on leash walking, and learning her puppy basics like a star student. Chica does wonderfully in the car, at the vet, and even at the groomer. With her dad being a 7-pound Chihuahua mix, she’s expected to stay on the petite side (around 10–13 pounds) full grown.

Chica is looking for a loving home that can guide her through puppyhood with patience and kindness. In return, she’ll shower her family with joy, laughter, and unconditional love.

If you’re ready for a pint-sized pup with a big personality, Chica is waiting to meet you!

Ember

Ember is a 1 year old, 20-pound bundle of sweetness with the softest coat and a heart full of love. She’s house-trained, sleeps happily in bed with her foster parents, and rides like a pro in the car. On walks, she’s great on the leash, and she enjoys hanging out with other friendly dogs in the yard. She’s also good with cats!

Playful and fun, Ember especially loves the water and can often be found lounging or splashing in the kiddie pool.

Her journey began in Puerto Rico, where she was rescued as a stray. Life on the streets was tough, and some bigger dogs left her with a couple of scars on her backside. Because of that, Ember prefers not to be pounced on by large, rambunctious pups. But she does wonderfully with gentle, respectful canine friends.

With her affectionate nature, love of play, and easygoing personality, Ember is ready to find her forever family who will cherish her as much as she’ll cherish them.

Meet Otto, Nutmeg, and Henry!

Aren't they just adorable? At 4 months old and weighing between 3-5 pounds each, they are simply irresistible!

- Henry: This charming little guy comes with a scruffy face and a single distinctive brown eyebrow—brimming with personality!
- Nutmeg: A tall, leggy brindle girl, Nutmeg has a reserved demeanor but is the ultimate cuddler at heart.
- Otto: With a cheerful spirit, this scruffy brindle male is always ready for fun!

These delightful pups are Chihuahua mixes—potentially with schnauzer, Shih Tzu, or Yorkie in their lineage. A DNA test will uncover the blend of magic that makes them so special!

Currently paper trained, they're learning to walk on a leash and wear collars. They are great in the car, at the groomer's, and at the vet's office. Socially, they enjoy meeting new friends once they warm up a little.

Their dad is a 7-pound Chihuahua mix, so they are expected to mature around 10-13 pounds.

Are you looking to add a furry friend to your family? These pups will thrive in a loving home that can dedicate time to their basic obedience training and canine good citizenship. They need patience, kindness, and lots of love!

He’s already paper trained and working on leash walking and wearing a collar like a pro. Henry has been a champ at the vet, the groomer, and meeting new people. His dad is a 7-pound Chihuahua mix, and Henry is expected to stay on the small side at around 10–13 pounds when full grown.
