Chacha is ready to make friends and she's happy to keep company with other dogs. Chacha is already spayed and she has had all her shots. No need to worry: She is already house-trained.
Chacha's current caretakers say:
Meet ChaCha. This beautiful girl is a one-year old, a 35-pound wire terrier mix who delivered her one and only litter of pups in July. ChaCha is a sweetie who enjoys cuddling and chasing balls. She loves having a playmate. She can sit, shake and does good on a leash. Sometimes, she needs coaxing to come inside as she loves running in the yard; a fenced yard should be secure. She's never met a stranger and greets everyone with excitement and wiggles.

Skipper, beagle and Jack Russell terrier mix
Skipper is a male beagle and Jack Russell terrier mix being kept at Sophiedog Rescue.
Skipper is the life of the party and he loves kids, cats or dogs. He is neutered and vaccinated. Good news: He is already house-trained.
Skipper's current caretakers say:
Skipper is a small mixed boy that was found as a stray. At first, he was shy and scared but has gained confidence every day and will make a fine family dog. He still can be wary of men but does warm up once he gets to know them. At about a year old, Skipper is full grown at 20 pounds. Skipper is now crate-trained and, once he warms up to you, he loves attention. He is also pretty good on a leash. He is fostered with kids, other dogs and cats.

Thea, chihuahua and beagle mix
Thea is a female chihuahua and beagle mix currently residing at Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue.
Thea is friendly as can be, and she'll get along great with your cats. She is already spayed and vaccinated. Good news: She is already house-trained.
Here's what Thea's friends at Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue think of her:
Thea, a 4-year-old, 23-pound chihuahua/beagle mix, is a little love bug searching for a forever home where she can learn that the world isn’t a scary place. Although she is shy when you first meet her, Thea will warm right up with patience and love, and then she’s your best buddy and constant companion. Thea has medium energy. Her favorite activities are short walks in the neighborhood, playing a bit with her plush, squeaky toys, and cuddling with her foster mommy for belly rubs and a nap. Thea is fostered in a home with dogs of all ages and sizes, a cat and a bunny. She is nervous when she meets new fur friends, but once she gets to know them she will hang out and lets them do their own thing. Thea is frightened of being crated. She does just fine hanging out in a room and sleeping on the couch while she waits for her people to get home. Thea is potty-trained after she adjusts to her new home and does her business when she is on her walks. Because of her past, Thea does get nervous when she hears loud noises or is in a new environment. She learns quickly though that she is safe and then is her happy, snuggly self.

Meet Cisco, who is 11 months old and 20 pounds. He is cutie and full of spunk and personality. Cisco is a very intelligent boy who is very treat motivated and learns quickly; he knows basic commands and is happy to participate in training. He loves catching frisbee and playing fetch. He will do best with an active family who will spend time teaching him new things and keeping him busy. He is doing well with his foster's dogs and enjoys playing with them, and he is curious and sweet when meeting new people.
