Spicy Burrito, chihuahua

Spicy Burrito's current caretakers say:

[Spicy Burrito] is an independent and confident dog, house trained and good on leash. He will try to take over the household and has some resource guardian issues when it comes to furniture and food so he needs an experienced person that can be sure to keep him structured and give boundaries.

Blue is an active girl and would do a perfect hiking and running buddy... Blue needs to be the only animal in a household but she learns quickly and is eager to please. She would appreciate humans who are experienced in her breed and understand her needs.

Ella, chihuahua mix

Ella is an adorable female chihuahua mix being cared for at Dogs Without Borders.

Ella is looking for cat-free household. Ella would prefer a home without small children. She's mastered her house-training etiquette. She's vaccinated and spayed.

Here's what Ella's friends at Dogs Without Borders think of her:

Ella was found on the street as a stray. We're not sure of what kind of life she came from but it's clear that she does not have social skills and is pretty fearful at the moment. She does warm up quickly to her person, loves to cuddle and will give you lots of love, but she also gets overwhelmed with too much at once and is very skittish with loud noises and new people.

Drake, pit bull terrier and mastiff mix

More from Drake:

Since I've been abandoned so much I would like someone who is home a lot, and I get anxious when I'm by myself. But I'm a big, squishy potato. I will sleep in a dog bed but really like to sleep in bed with my people.
