Beatrice, chihuahua and dachshund mix

Beatrice is a darling female chihuahua and dachshund mix currently residing at Canine Cupids.

Fear not: She is already house-trained. Beatrice is already spayed and vaccinated.

From Beatrice's current caretaker:

Beatrice is a 12-pound Chihuahua mix and estimated to be about 14 years old. She’s a laid-back sidekick who can be a bit shy at first. Once Beatrice has a few minutes to sniff and check you out, she comes out of her shell and is sweet, affectionate and silly.

Toby, Basset hound

Toby is a sweet male Basset hound dog being cared for at Basset Buddies Rescue.

Toby would do great in a home kids — he is a real "people pet." He has been vaccinated. Have no fear: He is already house-trained.

Here's what Toby's friends at Basset Buddies Rescue think of him:

Toby is a wonderful dog looking for a wonderful home! He might prefer to either have more people in the home altogether, or to have a single person that is home more. But he does ok alone all day and can be loose in the house.

Leela, pit bull terrier and Weimaraner mix

Leela is a female pit bull terrier and Weimaraner mix in the care of Canine Cupids.

No other pets please: Leela is looking for family without other dogs or cats. Canine Cupids recommends Leela be placed in a home without small children. She is already house-trained. Leela is spayed, and she has all her shots.

From Leela's current caretaker:

Leela is 4 years old and weighs about 55 pounds. She is a sweet, affectionate girl that lives with multiple other dogs. Leela has been in foster care for over a year. She has done perfectly fine meeting new foster siblings while off-leash, but she can be very reactive while on leash meeting new fur friends.
