Rosie, chihuahua
Rosie is an adorable female chihuahua in the care of 4 Dogs Farm Rescue.
Rosie loves cats and dogs but would prefer a home without small children. Have no fear: She's already house-trained. Rosie is spayed and vaccinated.
Rosie's current caretakers say:
This teeny, sweet and lovable little munchkin is Rosie. She's three years old and weighs 4.5 pounds. Rosie found herself dumped and pregnant at the shelter, where she gave birth to still born babies. Rosie is doing great in her foster home, and she is now ready for her forever home.

Kiss, border collie mix
Kiss is a female border collie mix staying at Asians for Humans Animals and Nature.
Kiss plays well with others — she gets along well with children, cats or dogs. Have no fear: She is already house-trained. Kiss is already spayed and vaccinated.
Notes from Kiss' caretakers:
Kiss was born with very gentle and sweet natures. There is no mean bone in her. She is doing well with dogs. When she meets new dogs, she prefers to stay aside watching them play and find the best time to join in. Once she makes friends, she plays lively. Kiss is a calm, quiet dog when she stays home. However, she likes to eat alone without other dogs' disturbance.

Rosie, pit bull terrier
Rosie is a female pit bull terrier dog being kept at DogiKat.
Rosie gets along well with cats. No other dogs, please: She is looking for a dog-free home. She has mastered her house-training etiquette, and she is already spayed and vaccinated.
From Rosie's current caretaker:
Rosie is a princess and a kind heart who wants to give love. Rosie is three years old, 85 pounds and a 1,000% energetic loveball. She’s a purebred Great Danebull (a mix of pit bull and Great Dane), and she loves being around humans.

Mika, German shepherd and chihuahua mix
Mika is a charming female German shepherd and chihuahua mix in the care of Grateful Dogs Rescue.
Mika loves other dogs but is looking for cat-free family. She is already house-trained, spayed and vaccinated.
Notes from Mika's caretakers:
She loves her walks and being outside just sniffing. In her original home, she lived with a small dog and a small child. She seems a little uneasy around big dogs, but that could be related to her condition. We're hoping she will eventually relax around all other dogs. It seems she does want to chase the cat, though, so probably best to find a home with no cats.

Kirby, Lhasa Apso and terrier mix
Kirby is a handsome male Lhasa Apso and terrier mix being cared for at DogZone Rescue.
Kirby gets along well with other dogs, but his ideal forever home would be a cat-free environment. Kirby will also do best in a home without small children. Fear not: He is already house-trained. He's already neutered and vaccinated, too.
More about Kirby:
I could love you already, and we've only just met through a picture. Wait 'til you pet me in person. Everyone says I have the softest hair. Are you looking for a soulmate? Well so am I. Do you want to laugh at my bunny hop when we go on our walks? Or watch my booty waddle over to you when you call my name? Then I'm your boy.
