A Leg Up Rescue

Our volunteer was in Porterville when Lily caught her eye. The kennel worker had hosed not only the kennel down, he had drenched little Lily. Alone in her wet kennel, Lily stood shivering. A Leg Up Rescue could not leave sweet Lily like this! And so this darling pup found herself headed to San Francisco!
Oh, she has adapted quite well to life in the Bay Area! Lily quickly figured out that chihuahuas belong in the house and in warm comfy beds! Lily enjoys lap time with her foster parents and Lily has become quite the walker. She keeps up with the pack on treks to Bayfront Park and Kite Hill. She stops to smell the flowers!
She gets along great with the resident dogs and even the cat. Lily is comfortable with well behaved children, too! Lily is doing well with her house training! And her leash walking is impressive!
Lily can live in a home with other small dogs or she can do quite well in a home as an only dog.

Here is a link to her YOUTUBE Video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jdKIn52PICw&feature=youtu.be

Elly is a beautiful chocolate & white chi/terrier mix. She has a quite an under bite and very soft fur. She is a younger lady, perhaps a year old. She has a birth defect; her back legs have no hip sockets, one leg curled under her but the other leg works fine. The deformed leg has been amputated and she now gets around great. This little girl can walk over a mile, goes up and down stairs like a champ and wrestles and plays like the young dog that she is. Her spirit is wonderful. She can be a bit fearful in the beginning but is eager to be friends. She plays hard with her fellow foster dogs. They are so much fun to watch. Elly loves stuffed toys and hard chews. She uses wee wee pads, is great in the car and good on leash. She is very loving, likes to cuddle and kiss. Elly is currently living with several dogs her size and cats. She will be a wonderful friend. Ideally she would love to live with another small dog. Gentle children 9 and up should be fine. She is a very sweet little lady. Elly is spayed, microchipped and current on all vaccines.

Meet Pixie a wee little pup that is available for adoption! Pixie is an adorable, playful, lovable little chi-mix puppy. She is 5-6 months old and just 5lbs. Pixie is still growing and getting prettier every day.
Pixie was a little stray in the town of Porterville. She spent six long weeks in the shelter but no one ever claimed her and sadly there are few adoptions out of this shelter. Her luck changed when A Leg Up Rescue took her into our group! Pixie is making up for the weeks and weeks in a kennel where she had NO walks or cuddle time! Pixie is active and loves to play with toys. Pixie is quite the little playmate with other small dogs as they run, frolic and wrestle! Pixie has also quickly learned that lap time is amazing and she is right there looking for a spot to call her own.
Pixie is working on her potty training. And she is getting used to leash walking. Pixie is also working on crate training. Since she is unbelievably food motivated, Pixie is sure to be a fun student and quick learner.
Pixie is in a home with a cat but has shown little to no interest. Pixie does enjoy the company of other dogs. While a home with dogs is ideal, a home with someone that spends lots of time with her would work, too.
Because of her small size, Pixie would do best in a home with older well-behaved children.

Honey Bunny is a 1 yr old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix. She is a sturdy 7 lb dog who loves to play with small dogs. Honey Bunny can be a tad shy at first, but she does warm up. She is alert & smart and is learning some basic obedience and some tricks. She can stand on her hind legs and wave with her 2 paws. Honey is an active, agile dog who might enjoy learning agility.

Honey Bunny is a sweet and affectionate dog who enjoys cuddling & lap time. She has not been around cats and children, but might be okay with older, well behaved kids. An ideal home would include another small, playful dog, or an active person, or both!
