Story
Bean is a 3 year old teacup Chihuahua. He is sweet, loving, and absolutely adorable. He is very tiny at just over 4 pounds. He loves rubs and scratches. He does well with other dogs but is best with smaller dogs. He loves hanging out with cats. We wouldn't recommend a home with young children due to his size. Bean loves to be cuddled and prefers to be carried. He does stay right beside you if he is not in your arms. He is learning to walk while wearing a halter and is working on potty training.  He loves to play with stuffed animals. His best friend is Archie. An ideal home would be where both could live together. Bean is the embodiment of great love coming in tiny packages. ##2183970##

Story
ADOPT ME ONLINE: https://ophrescue.org/dogs/14072Meet Scrappy, a sweet boy whose love of lounging is matched by his love of exploring the outdoors on a nice walk. Name: ScrappyGender: MaleBreed: Chihuahua Mixed BreedAge: 4 years old, estimated DOB: Sept. 4, 2020Weight: 14 lbsCurrent Location: Baltimore, MDPersonality: Scrappy is a gentle and quiet boy who appreciates patience and encouragement as he is learning to come out of his shell in his foster home. So far, he hasn't shown a desire to play with toys, and is happy to just settle down for some rest and relaxation.Special Considerations: Scrappy would thrive in a calmer home environment where he can build his confidence and trust at his own pace. He does not require much play. While his foster mom hasn't seen him around cats, the SC shelter said he lived in an office with a cat. He's a quiet boy, making him a great fit for an apartment, rowhome, or other close-living environments.Companionship: Scrappy is a little shadow who likes to follow people around, but he prefers being pet on his own terms and can be a bit nervous if someone pets him before he is ready. Once he is comfortable, though, he will nudge your hand to get more scratches. He is well-behaved around other dogs.Training and Learning: Scrappy loves being outside on walks and has very good leash manners. He politely passes other people and dogs while taking walks. Scrappy is potty trained and crate trained. Scrappy will sleep quietly in his crate and during the work day and overnight, and he sometimes enters his crate on his own, just to hang out in there for a while. His foster mom doesn’t think he has seen indoor stairs before so he is still learning how to navigate them. He is working on basic commands such as "sit." He has good house manners and does not jump much, but might show some interest in delicious-smelling human food. Love and Affection: Scrappy enjoys snuggling on the couch close to his humans and is also happy to survey the room from his own nearby rug or dog bed. He is a calm boy who is easy to please.Scrappy is looking for his forever home where a new family will cherish his sweet personality and companionship.This dog tested positive for heartworm disease before arriving to the rescue. Heartworm disease is transmitted to a dog through a bite from an infected mosquito producing a positive test in six months. OPH will treat the dog and provide two weeks of recovery time prior to adoption. Potential adopters will receive detailed information on the disease and their role in completing the recovery process from OPH’s heartworm coordinator. With monthly preventatives, the disease is completely preventable.

Meet Parker!  This precious little guy is 4 years old and about 12 lbs.  Evidently Parker did not have a very good life prior to joining Critter Cavalry.  We think he was bullied by another dog.  He is a 'sit on the sidelines and watch' kinda guy who doesn't really want to play with anyone.  He doesn't mind the other dogs and definitely is not mean.  He would just rather be with people.  Parker is super sweet and loves people.  He just wants to be where his foster mom is.  Parker would be a wonderful companion for someone that just wants one dog and who would like a dog they can take places.  He would love that and would love to be friends with all your friends.  He is just precious and very friendly.  He gentlY smells you to make sure you are OK and then he is good.  He was smiling during his photo shoot and seemed to enjoy all the attention.  If you are looking for a loyal companion then you have found him in Parker.  Parker is doggie door trained, neutered, current on all shots, heartworm negative and microchipped.  To be considered for Parker's forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Parker is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)November 5, 2024, 1:27 pm

Meet Curious Puppy Coco.  This beautiful brindle boy is only 17 weeks old and 7 lbs.  Just look at that face.  It definitely tells you that this curious little guy will be in the middle of everything.  This little boy is all legs.  You just want to smile when you look at him.  He is at that awkward stage in life with legs and feet going every where.  Coco is a very sweet boy.  He is super friendly and does not meet a stranger.  He happily goes up to everyone to be petted.  Coco loves other dogs and has a big time playing with his foster brothers.  He is a bit of a pest to the older dogs though as he always wants to play.  Coco would love to have another young brother or sister to play with.  He definitely needs a companion to keep him busy.  When Coco does settle down he is a great little cuddle boy and will curl up in your lap or beside you to go to sleep.  This little guy is doggie door and crate trained.  He walks OK on a leash but does need some additional training.  He is very smart though and catches on quickly.  He will be an excellent addition to the right family.  Coco is neutered, current on all shots and microchipped.  To be considered for his forever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Coco is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)November 18, 2024, 11:35 am

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.All of the animals posted on our site have been temperament tested. While not all are in the immediate area, once we have processed and approved your application, we will move the dog to our adoptive area for you to meet, greet and hopefully adopt. Sometimes we will have more than one application on a dog. That does not mean it automatically goes to another family but you should be aware of the fact that until you are approved and set up for the meet/greet.. the dog could get adopted by another applicant.NOTE- SOLOMON IS LISTED AS A COURTESY FOR AN INDIVIDUAL ASKING TO REHOME THEIR DOG. Solomon is a 7-year-old min pin and chihuahua mix I believe, and he loves to sing.  He loves to listen to music and some of his favorite artists are Michael Jackson, Chris Brown and Drake. Solomon is house broken and loves to sit and watch people out of the front door and windows.  He loves being outside and loves walks in the park and around the neighborhood.  Solomon does not tear things up like mail, toilet paper, socks, or trash.  He also loves to cuddle and be rubbed.  Solomon hates baths and water but I give him a bath anyway telling him that he has to be clean. He loves treats and his favorite treat is duck wrapped sweet potato from Wal Mart.  Solomon loves bones and his favorite toy is Lamb Chop or any bear that he can tussle with.   Solomon does growl sometimes when he sees other dogs and cats. He also runs after birds if he sees them and barks. Slow introductions are needed with dogs, cats, and children. Solomon does get protective of his person, so he would do best in a home with no children and perhaps just one adult that he can bond with. If you are interested in adopting Solomon, please go to www.reachoutrescue.org and fill out an application and we will forward it to his caretaker for review. You may also contact his caretaker directly at : eddinaw6@yahoo.com Phone:302-256-4318Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.November 21, 2024, 7:52 pm
