More on Nala:

I'm considered a senior because of all the birthdays I've had. For me, it's all about the birthday parties. I can get rowdy when it comes to singing karaoke and cracking jokes. My friends are still talking about the epic birthday party Hope Animal Rescue hosted for the seniors this summer.

Momo came to CRT from a shelter with his best friend who had to be euthanized due to his previous owners allowing half of his face & jaw to rot away due to unknown causes. Momo is now lonely and needs a buddy to hang out with. He is a very sweet guy who loves to go outside.

Boster, chihuahua and dachshund mix

Boster is a male chihuahua and dachshund mix in the care of Chihuahua Rescue & Transport, Inc.

Boster is happy to keep company with other dogs. He's been vaccinated and neutered.

From Boster's current caretaker:

Boster is said to be a ChiWeenie (Chi/Doxie). When he isn’t sure about something, he can get a bit nippy. When he learns to trust you, he is a very sweet little guy that is full of energy and loves to race around his current foster mom’s big back yard. He loves to play with some of the other fosters and usually doesn’t want to come back in. He is not house or crate trained so this will need to be worked on.
