Story
Baby Bat embodies the personality, uniqueness and likeness of the Batman. First, he works alone. No sidekicks or partners. He prefers solitude and his space. Baby Bat has lived with his foster and her dog pack for 5 years, he gets along with them but tolerates them at most. He would do well in a home where he is the only dog, no children, and adults only. Next, Baby Bat is an apex predator. Which means he needs his sleep and food and not to be interrupted or coddled when given either. Baby Bat is not a lap or cuddly dog. Finally, did we mention Baby Bat is a Chihuahua mix? That's a really important detail! Baby Bat is a great and loyal dog seeking a great family to adopt him! Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
TEXAS ADOPTION ONLY Grandpa Lucky I have the weirdest name. What is that? "Grandpa Lucky. Sounds like I had a lot of luck in my short life, but I am not quite sure of all that. I just look like a Grandpa because I have lived outside most of the time and it is hard on a fella. I am only about 6 years old we think. First off, I was fished out of a river and taken to the city dog pound. I can't tell you how I got into the river, but foster mom suspects I had a little help with that. Well, it was lucky that I got fished out, but then I went to the city pound where I had 3 days before my time was up...literally. But then I got lucky again because foster mom saw me and just had to have me to foster so I got a ticket out of there. I was a pretty skinny dude when she got me, and it wasn't too long before she discovered that I love to eat. She noticed that I was having a little trouble walking on my back legs and that wasn't so good so when we got me checked out, it turns out that I have a little compression of my T4 to T6 vertebrae, whatever that is. Not good. But the vet lady said that nothing needed to be done for that so that was lucky. So, when I get a little tired, I hop like a bunny and the other times when I feel good, I walk like a regular dog. I had some tests done on my blood and I have worms living in my heart of all places. I am told that is not good. But it is lucky for me that foster mommy is giving me the medicines to kill those little varmints over time and not all at once. She said it is easier on me if we do it this way. Plus, it is lucky that I get the medicine in a little bit of tasty food that I love. Did I tell you I like to eat? About that, foster mommy tells me I can't gain too much weight, or it will be too hard on my joints and back and that won't be good. Aren't I lucky to have her to take care of me? The one complaint I have with foster mommy is that she doesn't have enough time to let me sleep in her lap during the day. I would like to have a lap in my new forever home and someone who will love me as much as foster mommy does. Because of the medicines that I am taking to kill the worms in my heart, we are looking for a forever home in the San Antonio area so I wouldn't have to travel so far. Besides having a lap to sleep in during the day, I want to sleep in the bed with you at night. I can't jump off the bed though but being with you all the time is what I want. Then I would really feel lucky! $200 Local adoption fee (in Texas)

Story
This is Buddy, and he can't wait to be yours! Buddy is a sweet young Chihuahua mix that started life off as a feral, until he was caught by a sweet and loving foster. Buddy got the good life after that! Spoiled with treats and given so much love he's developed into a great dog. He's a very friendly boy and does great with pretty much everyone. He would do best in a household with an active family. Buddy does tend to bark at smaller animals so he would do best in a household that doesn't have farm animals or other small pets. Dogs and cats he is fine with, though he has not had much experience with cats. Buddy would do well paired with another calm and confident dog. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX)

Story
Game of Thrones fans??? Here I am, the KING!! And I SHOULD BE! Look at me!! Cute has NOTHING ON ME! Viserys and his siblings came to us after being found under a pile of lumber at a job site. 999 degrees outside and these pups were ALL alone and starving and scared. Viserys was very shy but has come out of his shell with fun and food. Still a little reluctant but warms up quickly and will be your best friend!! He tries to keep up with the other dogs, his little legs work really hard. Yes he is a LOWRIDER!! It may be hard to tell with his pictures but YUP, he is low to the ground and he carries it well :D He is a Super cuddler! He just melts into your arms. Warm heart big hugs. Plays very well with big and small dogs. Timid when big dogs come right at him but he can dodge them pretty well. Then goes in for more. Doing well with potty training. Doesn't mind being by himself or with others. Very easy going. READY HIS FUREVER HOME!!! He is a little scruffy faced too! Now, two of his siblings had their DNA's done by adopters and as you can see... CHIHUAHUA?? and CATTLE DOG??? YUP! We call it STREET MIX because so many dogs roam and mate in SA :(:( but it does make an interesting match. He will likely be about 40# on a lowrider frame, must love cute and unique pups to adopt him!! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Hello my name is Bridgette, and I am not your typical chihuahua. I am blind and so I can be fearful of new situations. I am potty trained so I will wait for you to take me outside and bring me back in. I love being outside as I can see more shapes and I get excited when I hear you calling me close to you. I like being carried. My foster mom puts in a crate at night with my water and food so I can find it easily. I am super gentle and easy to care for. I am a very quiet gal and would love to live with someone I can sit with and be petted or go outside in the garden. I would enjoy being pushed in a doggy stroller. I get along great with all animals and people. I was dumped near a bridge which was just so scary, but now I am ready to find a forever home with someone who will keep me close to their side. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)

Story
I'm a colorful puppy. I was born in the care of Polk County Humane Society to a surrendered mama. My mama is a cutie and so is dad - so I'm destined to paint your heart with love and joy. We are chihuahua, beagle, minpin and who knows what else. Our mama and dad were both about 10 – 12 lbs, so we surely won’t get much bigger than that. If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt. We are in a foster home and will be going to the vet for our neuter/spay surgeries on 8/16/24. We will be able to go home the very next day. We are getting a lot of applications (as you can imagine with us being so darn cute!) Please don’t call. We just can’t answer so many call with our small staff. The nice people here plan to review the applications on Tuesday, 8/13 and pick a few out to meet us. Please put your application in soon! If you're interested in adopting me, fill out an adoption application online at www.polkcountyhumanesociety.org/adopt where you will also find a link to request an appointment to meet me. Some pets are in foster homes or may already have an appointment scheduled, so the appointment is important to make sure I will be available to meet you when you come. Polk County Humane Society is located in Bolivar, Missouri, but also makes transports to the Denver, CO, Des Moines, IA and St. Louis areas twice a month. For potential adopters in those areas, we can do a virtual visit using FaceTime or another app. Just request an appointment using the same link, but note that you want the visit to be virtual and we will call you at the time of the visit once it is confirmed. For transports out of state (CO & IA & MN), there is an additional $100 fee to cover the cost of the transport ($65) and a health certificate from a veteinarian ($35). For pets transported to St. Louis, there is just a $50 fee to help with gas. Going that last mile home for our sweet pets! ##2091269##

PLEASE NOTE: we want to rehome Lightning with his bro, Thunder Lightning is a little baby. He loves anything and everything he sees. He cuddles hard and loves harder. He also loves chasing squirrels. He is a black shi-zhu-chihuahua-lab mix. He looks like a lab puppy though and acts like it too. I got Lightning (and his bro Thunder) about 4 years ago. My fiancé and I are moving to Chicago at the end of July 2025, and want to find a loving home for him and Thunder Lightning: - He loves hard and cuddles harder - He has a goofy little run that is really cute - He LOVES meeting new dogs. He's friends with everybody - He does not do well with cats or squirrels They are some of the friendliest and loving dogs ever. They deserve love and will love back hard. I am hoping to have Lightning stay with Thunder in a new home. They love each other and cannot live without each other.

Rico is a charming 4-year-old Chihuahua mix who was adopted from us 3 years ago. He's a happy and affectionate pup, but he's discovered that he's not a fan of babies, so a new baby in the house was a huge stressor for him. Despite this, Rico is doing exceptionally well at the rescue with other dogs and is good with children 4 and up. He loves to run around and play, showing a playful side that will bring joy to any home. Rico is incredibly affectionate with his people, making him a loyal companion.Rico would thrive in a home without babies, where he can feel safe and secure. He would also benefit from having a canine companion, as he enjoys the company of other dogs.IMPORTANT: Please read all below, especially if you live outside of Texas, which is where our rescue is located.Apply to adopt on our website: https://www.charmingpetrescue.org/adoptAll of our animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on shots.ALL of our animals are located in Boerne, TX, but transport after adoption is available to other states for a $300 fee for dogs or an additional fee varying by location for cats.
