GRAHAM

Chihuahua born Jan. 2010

GRAHAM, an incredibly sweet Chihuahua born in January, 2010, is looking for a new home. Graham is happy, outgoing and gorgeous, with a short tan coat, a long slender frame, big expressive eyes and even bigger ears. This little boy has a golden retriever's personality in a 10- lb. Chihuahua's body, and he is simply fabulous. Graham has been fully vetted, of course, and gets along beautifully with other dogs and with cats. Graham will probably need some help with housebreaking, but he is well worth the effort.

RENO

Poodle Mix born in March, 2010

RENO is an adorable 13-lb. silver-and-charcoal poodle mix born in March, 2010 and she is looking for a new home. Reno has a gorgeous, wavy coat that will require regular clipping, but the results will turn heads wherever she goes, and her distinctive underbite and big brown eyes make her simply irresistible. Reno is lively, playful and outgoing, and she enjoys the company of both people and other animals. Reno has been fully vetted, of course. Suggested donation: $300

RUBY and CRYSTAL

Mini Dachshunds born 1/18/08

RUBY and CRYSTAL are purebred miniature dachshunds looking for a new home together. Ruby is a longhaired dapple with an outgoing personality, and Crystal is a smooth-coated red who is more reserved with strangers, but just as sweet, trusting and loving as Ruby with people she knows. They were born in January 2008, they are fully vetted, in excellent health, and each weighs about 10 lbs. We considered separating the girls, but they've convinced us otherwise. We're having lots of fun with them while they wait for their permanent home, but we hope to see them settled together soon.

STRUDEL

2-year-old wirehaired Chihuahua mix

STRUDEL is an adorable 5 1/2-lb., 2-year-old Chihuahua mix with a gorgeously wild and wiry coat and a personality just as sweet and delicious as her name. Strudel's previous humans just didn't have time for her, and we're looking for a home where she'll have plenty of lap time and the opportunity to practice her favorite trick of leaping into the waiting arms of anyone who's available to catch her. This little girl is as quiet as a mouse in her crate, and we're told that she's housebroken. She has been fully vetted, of course, and is ready to go.

LLOYD

2 1/2-year-old Boston Terrier

LLOYD is an outgoing, well-behaved, 2 1/2-year-old Boston Terrier who has had an unlucky roll of the genetic dice. Lloyd has a heart defect which makes his future uncertain and rules out strenuous exercise, particularly in warm weather. Lloyd's condition is known as sub-aortic stenosis (SAS), and he needs a home where he will not be allowed to become overweight and where the recommended limitations on rough play can be accommodated. Lloyd's condition does not make him feel ill; he feels fine and is as playful as any other young dog. Lloyd is housebroken and has been neutered, vaccinated and tested for heartworm disease.

WALTER CRONKITE

5 year old Pit Bull

WALTER is a very, very sweet white pit bull, about 5 years old, whose entire body is covered with scars, most likely from use as a bait dog in a fight ring, but whose good spirits and gentle nature are unscathed. Walter was heartworm-positive when we got him, but has been successfully treated, and he has been neutered and vaccinated. Walter is perfectly housetrained and is so grateful for even the smallest kindness--a safe haven and regular meals are more than he ever had before. This boy is happy just to be alive, and he will make you so very glad you reached out to him.
