Name: Pixel

Breed: Chihuahua

Age: Adult

Size: Small

Gender: Female

Pixel is a 1-2 year old red Chihuahua who weighs about 5 1/2 pounds. She was a stray who was terrified in the shelter and was rescued by CARE after being transferred to the Santa Clara Shelter. She was in the shelter several months so she started out scared and shy, but has now learned to trust that her foster mom will be there for her. She is happy, healthy, kind, cuddly and loving, but is still wary of strangers until she gets to know them. She does warm up and accept them, but will bark a little when she first sees them. Unlike some Chihuahuas she is definitely not a yappy little dog and will be quiet as soon as you tell her. Pixel gets along with other dogs and cats, and would like to cuddle up next to either to sleep if she can. He first preference to cuddle, of course is with people, and she loves it when she sleeps at night and has a small blanket over her.

Pixel will need a relatively quiet household without small children. She is so small and her bones are so fine that one could easily break if a child was too rough or if one fell on her. Pixel loves to go on walks and can easily keep up with on a 3-mile walk, so although she is dainty she has a lot of spirit. She is the kind of dog that can fit in a purse, and I would suggest that her new home have an owner who will take her a lot of places and expose her to a lot of different situations. Pixel has been spayed, heartworm tested, has had all of her shots, and like all CARE dogs is microchipped. We have started working on housebreaking, and she is doing extremely well.

If you would like to meet Pixel please send an e-mail to Barbara at onlyonequeen@comcast.net. Be sure to put 'Pixel' in the title and tell me a little about your family. I will get back to you in 24 hours or less.

Name: Friday

Breed: Pharaoh Hound

Age: Young

Size: Medium

Gender: Female

Friday is a friendly, active, very affectionate dog. LOVES TOYS! And, if thrown, will even bring them back! She would be a great dog for a 10-12 year old with plenty of energy to play with her. Any home needs to be experienced with young, bratty dogs, since she can be a bit of a brat from time to time. She will sleep in a dog crate and walks fairly nicely on a leash. Good with children, but she can be a bit mouthy, so I don't think that small children are a good idea. She hasn't had any housetraining accidents in her foster home, but will need to learn your routine. She has adjusted very quickly to her foster home. If you would like to meet Friday, come to the CARE Saturday Pet Fair or contact her foster mom JoAnn by email at roxymuse@comcast.net.

Name: Lulu

Breed: Rat Terrier mix

Age: Adult

Size: Small

Gender: Female

Lulu acts shy when you first meet her but once she knows you the kissy cuddles come out. She had a rough start and is recovering from a non-contagious skin condition but now that she has received treatment her fur is growing in very nicely. She is trotting around much more confidentally as she becomes more and more beautiful. She has two boyfriends here in her foster home who she trades kisses with.

Lulu is potty trained and crate trained and walks nicely on the leash. She gets along very well with cats and other dogs. She will always warn you if someone comes in the yard or knocks on the door but doesn't bark excessively.

If interested, please email mojo.deluxe@gmail.com with "Lulu" in the subject line and tell us a little about yourself and your household.

Lulu will be at the CARE pet fair this Saturday if you'd like to meet her.
