Chihuahua and Rat Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

I'm very friendly and I like to be the alpha dog. I love squeaky stuffy toys and play tug with them.

Cap'n is the last of the chihuahua mixes. He is a special needs boy. His age isn't old at 7 but his health is that of an old dog. He had a grade 4 heart murmur, possibly has Cushing Disease, and he is in the early stages of renal failure. He is not neutered as it is not safe to put him under anesthesia. Cap'n needs a hospice home, or perhaps a permanent foster home. If you think you would like to give him the quality of end of life care for however much time he has, please fill out an application and once approved we will sort out the details for this sweet boy.
