Jimmy, chihuahua

Jimmy will do best with an owner who has time to bond with her. He'll need a home free of other dogs and kids. He is already neutered, and he has all his shots. He's already house-trained.

Notes from Jimmy's caretakers:

Jimmy is a little ball of fire who is loyal to one or two people. He's 8 pounds and has a little bit he could lose to be his ideal weight. He's very cuddly, loves to go for long leash walks, and is housebroken. He loves sleeping in bed with his person, but is not a total bed hog.

Callie plays well with others — she's happy to keep company with cats, dogs and kids. She is already house-trained. Her vaccinations are already up to date, and she's spayed.

Callie's current caretakers say:

Callie is a 14-year-old Chihuahua whose owner died and whose family couldn't keep her permanently. So she made the trip from Cincinnati to Youngstown where she slid into foster home easily. She just had a dental so she's much more pleasant to be around.
