Rosa, chihuahua
Rosa is a winsome female chihuahua dog currently residing at Music City Animal Rescue.
Rosa is eager to make friends, and she'll get along great with your kids, cats or dogs. She is spayed, and she has had all her shots. She is already house-trained.
From Rosa's current caretaker:
I'm a sweet senior gal, but they say you get better with age. I'm so quiet that sometimes my foster mom has to search the house to find me. I would not be a good fit for a rowdy home or with children under 10. My foster mommy gives kisses and cuddles, which I love! Hope to find a loving owner just like her.

Polly, chihuahua
Polly is a darling female chihuahua dog being cared for at Music City Animal Rescue.
She's as friendly as can be and loves other dogs, cats and children. Polly is spayed and vaccinated. No need to worry: She's already house-trained.
Here's what Polly's friends at Music City Animal Rescue think of her:
My foster Mom calls me Polly-Mog. You have to admit it's kinda cute. Sometimes, I'm scared of loud noises like fireworks. That's why I like stuffed toys, because they bring me comfort. I have a lot of love to give, and I'm hoping to have a home of my own very soon.

Decker, American Staffordshire terrier mix
Decker is a sweet male American Staffordshire terrier mix being cared for at Big Fluffy Dog Rescue.
Decker is nothing if not a family dog, and children will love him. No other pets please: He is looking for household without other dogs or cats. No need to worry: He's already house-trained. He's already neutered and vaccinated.
Notes from Decker's caretakers:
This lovable nerd is Decker. He's 5 years old and weighs 55 pounds. A Hurricane Dorian survivor, he has healed from a foot injury and is ready for a forever home. This energetic boy loves playtime, and he will chase a ball until your arm falls off. Since he was never socialized with other dogs, we think it's best for him to be the only dog. If you are interested in adopting this dog, please apply online.

Notes from Peggy's caretakers:
This mama delivered puppies while in rescue, and all have long been placed in homes. Now, it's her turn. The right home will be securely fenced and have patient people who don't expect her to crawl on their lap the first day she arrives. She also needs a home with a dog or two to help show her the ropes. If you want a devoted companion, she's your gal.
