Update: Chloe has been adopted and is now in her furever home!!!

🐾 MEET CHLOE: A GENTLE SOUL WAITING TO SHINE 🎬
This sweet face belongs to Chloe! She is a small, pleasantly plump Chihuahua mix. We aren't quite sure of her exact age—she looks to be somewhere between 3 and 5 years old—and her calm demeanor gives her the air of a classic movie star. 🌟
Right now, the shelter environment is a bit scary for Chloe. Her behavior is very calm, but she is quite timid and nervous. We already see the incredible girl underneath, though! Once she realizes she is safe and surrounded by people who want to help her, we know her true personality is going to blossom.
Chloe just needs a patient heart and a quiet space to show the world how bright she can shine. Could that be with you?🗓️ Chloe will be officially ready for the public on Monday!💌 Interested in Chloe?
Get in touch early:
Message us right here on Facebook!Call the shelter: 972-551-6641
Visit her next week: 2601 E US Highway 80, Terrell, TX (10 AM - 5 PM)

Please SHARE Chloe’s story! Let’s help this quiet little star find the patient, loving home she truly deserves. 👇

She is packed with fun, playful energy, but the second playtime is over, she always wants to cuddle.

🐾 Meet Shaggy (Yes, She's a Girl!)
Shaggy is a beautiful Schnauzer mix, estimated to be just 1 to 2 years old. She was named before we found out she was a girl, and it took a while for her to open up and trust us. Now that she has, we know she is the sweetest girl who really wants to play!
Because of her past, she is very shy and is looking for a calm, loving, cuddling human to show her she can trust humans again.

Animal Friendly: She is fine with other animals! 🐾
🐈House Trained: She is already fully potty trained.
Leash Info: She will not walk on a leash around her neck due to her past. She is still learning and training on a harness, so she needs a patient family to help her practice.📝

Adoption Requirements: Must apply in person
Must be 18 or older
Must bring a valid ID
