Poncho	Poncho is fostered in MO   Poncho, Chihuahua/Schipperke mix, male, born 8/2/07, weighs 12 lbs, colors are black/tan/white. Doggy door trained, potty habits are fantastic!! A few markings here and there, but he only seems to do the marking when our alpha dog gives him a hard time. Built like a little tank, Poncho can be very shy at first, but everyday he becomes more loving and trusting. He absolutely loves a good tummy rub and a nice long relaxed brushing, especially after a bath with lots of scrubbing. He plays well with other small dogs, and enjoys sleeping with his family at night. For the most part Poncho is leash trained, he just needs a little more work. Most of all he loves hanging out with his people. UTD on shots, neutered, and on heartworm preventative. Poncho is being fostered in Missouri (about 50 miles from downtown St. Louis).   Poncho's adoption fee is $175.00  I need a Guardian Angel
Lucy	Lucy is fostered in IL Please meet Lucy.  She is 1 yr old 9 1/2 pound Chihuahua and Italian Greyhound mix.   She was found dumped in an alley on Thanksgiving. It was raining and 40 degrees out. She was very frightened. I picked her up took her to have her vetted. Lucy is a very loving and playful baby. She plays with toys, cats and the other dogs. She loves to get the Bassets running then jumps on the chair while they continue to run. She is housetrained not food aggressive. She likes kids all ages. She will collect all the toys and put them in the dog bed.  She will share but will try to take it away and did I mention she loves to play.  When she is in the yard she will run and run. She prances like a gated pony.  She is looking for her forever home for Christmas. Lucy's adoption fee is $350.00  I need a Guardian Angel
Ellie	Ellie is fostered in IL   Hi, my name is Ellie and I am a gorgeous 8 pound red sable and white papillion.  I was born in September 17, 2001, and was rescued when a breeder decided to let me go.  I did not have much human contact at my breeder's facility, so it has taken me a long time to learn to trust humans.  I am still fearful of loud noises (such as clanging dishes or loud voices), but for the most part I am a happy little doggy and love to wag my pretty tail! UPDATE June 2010 I have had two knee surgeries on my back knees due to luxating patellas (where my kneecaps slip out of place all the time).  I am cleared by the doctor as being healthy now, and I run and play with the other dogs in my foster mom's house.  However, I am a very special little girl, and will need someone who will take precautions with me since I have had two knee surgeries.  I need someone who will take care not to scare me by making a loud noise if I am walking on a hard surface (such as a kitchen floor) and I also will need to go to a home that is mostly carpeted, as I cannot run on hard floors or my legs slide around and my knees could pop out again.  I am afraid of little kids and cannot go to a home with little kids, or where a little kid will be on a regular basis.  I am not housetrained, and I may never be.  I am looking for a very special family to love me and who I can love. I am such a happy little dog though, and smile all the time at foster mom.  I jump on her and get really excited when she gets home from work.  I dance on my back legs to get foster mom to pay attention to me when I get excited.  And I am very vocal when she leaves to let her know that I don't want her to leave me again, but it only lasts for a few seconds.  I get along with any dog, and I doubt I would bother a cat, although foster mom doesn't have any.  I am very laid back and can't see me bothering them unless they bother me!  I have the best personality and once you meet me you will fall in love with me!   UPDATE 10-9 I have been at my new foster mommy's house since March of this year.  I have been to a CRA event and met tons of new people.  Foster mommy says I have been coming out of my shell so much since I attended the event.  I am still learning that people can be trusted not to hurt me.  It takes me a while to learn to trust my new surroundings, but once I do, I fit right in.  I am great with other small doggies.  Not sure about big doggies because I am pretty frail and don't want to be stepped on.  I have not met a big doggy yet since I have been at my new foster mommy's house, so not sure how I would feel about them.  I am super cute and pretty hilarious.  I make FM laugh all the time.  I have my own little personality.  I don't like to sit on laps, and I tolerate being held but am not entirely comfortable with it.  I was treated very badly in the past and will need a very loving and understanding family to adopt me.  I will never be pottytrained, although I am totally crate trained and do not potty in my crate if I have to be in there.  Foster mom just keeps pretty panties on me all day so I don't mark in the house.  Sometimes I use the doggy door by myself to go poo outside.  I am going to have knee surgery soon for a luxating patella (kneecap that pops out of place) but then I will be ready for my furever family to adopt me!   UPDATE 2-22 Ellie is a riot. She even likes to play keep away. She goes outside with my dogs and usually scratches the door when she wants back in. But lately she has been telling us to come outside. She comes to the door and then backs away when you open it and slowly walks away from it looking back to see if you are coming out. Otherwise she comes back to the door and scratches it again to get you to come to it and repeats walking away from it or just barks at you when you open the door. She played keep away from Fred yesterday. She likes to be picked up but she does not like to be snuggled. I think this makes her feel trapped. She will stand up on her back legs to be picked up. She plays with the Jade and my miniature poodle. I have not seen her play with any toys. Ellie lost all of her teeth when she had her dental so she is totally toothless. But she still loves her food and she prefers the dry dog food. Ellie is still looking for a home of her own. Ellile's adoption fee is $225.00 Lori is my special Angel
Bubba	Bubba is fostered in IL My name is Bubba, a very lovable grey and white shih tzu if I may say so myself. I am about 4 years old and weighs about 14 lbs. I look fluffy. I came from a breeder and didn't know much about living in a home. I didn't know what doors or stairs were. I'm getting better at going up. Going down is taking longer. Right now, I prefer to stand on the concrete patio but foster mom is encouraging me to go explore grass. I'm not quite sure about that yet but it's not all bad. I'm still a bit shy but I love to follow foster mom around. She pets me, holds me and puts me on her lap. I do enjoy all the attention. I'm learning it's best to do my business outside and only have accidents occasionally now. I think I will get the hang of that completely. I don't need a lot of exercise and would love to find a home where there isn't too much craziness. I get along with other dogs and cats. I'm pretty laid back and don't bark much. I'll be an easy companion. The dogtor said I am healthy. All my vaccines are current. I am microchipped, my heartworm test was negative. I also had my teeth cleaned when I got fixed. I'm ready for my home! Bubba's adoption fee is $250.00 Phyllis Melnick is Bubba's guardian angel
Brie	Brie is fostered in FL   Brie is a 12 year old Brussels Griffon who has been in her foster home for about 6 years so it will take a family who will have a lot of patience with her until she gets accustomed to a new home.   She is very sweet and enjoys being a part of the family, however, she is not a big cuddler or a kisser...she would like to sit next to you, but not on your lap...   Brie, is about 95% housebroken....she does have a dog door in her foster home, so she can come and go as she pleases...her new family would have to be diligent in watching when she has to go potty... she cannot be crated and is not great walking on a leash, so she needs a fenced in yard.   Brie could be an only dog as she doesn't really interact with other dogs...but has 5 fur sisters...   If you have any questions questions about Brie, please feel free to contact her foster mom at bttc1@tampabay.rr.com Brie's adoption fee is $225.00 Mary and her gang are Brie's angels
