3. Pea: Senior Charmer
Pea is a sweet 12-year-old Chihuahua with a tiny body and a huge heart.

Now safe in a loving foster home, Pea is showing everyone just how delightful a senior dog can be. She’s housetrained, quiet, and incredibly affectionate—an ultimate lap dog who gently nudges your hand for pets and attention. Her foster mom calls her a “Velcro dog” because she just wants to be near her person. Learn More

He startles easily and is especially shy around men, but once he warms up, Oreo will approach gently for treats and attention. His playful spirit shines through when he’s in the yard—his bouncy “baby deer” gait brings smiles to everyone watching. He’s still a puppy at heart, and once he feels safe, his energy and affection begin to bloom. Learn More
