My current people work from home and I feel more secure when I know where they are. I can spend a half day alone, no problem, and I’ll wait patiently by the door so I can give them a big happy hello when they get home. I haven’t lived with children. I bet I’d like older kids who learn to speak dog language but younger kids may be too unpredictable for me.
Being in a predictable house helps me feel calm. I monitor my surroundings and will let you know when something’s going on outside, but once you show me you understand, I’ll go back to being chill (truth be told, the meds I’m taking help a lot with that).
I bond quickly with my primary people but need encouragement to welcome others into my pack. I didn’t have a lot of experience socializing in my early years so my foster family has been helping me expand my circle. We’ve learned great tips for meeting new people and giving me breaks if I seem overwhelmed. I’m also muzzle trained if unfamiliar people need to get close. I’ve been working with a trainer in Corvallis who understands my fears and how to help me cope with them. If you decide to open your home to me SDRO will provide some training sessions to help us all settle in comfortably.
We haven’t brought other dogs or cats into our circle, but I’m learning to live with them in my neighborhood. Who knows? In time I might warm up to a few but I think I’d rather be the only pet in my home.
I have quite a few friends now and am ready to meet more. How about you?

Life has taken me on a bit of an unexpected journey. I originally came to my current person as a foster after a family member could no longer keep me. When it became clear my first family wasn't coming back for me, my foster happily stepped up. Unfortunately, health issues now mean they can no longer care for me either. None of this is my fault—I'm simply hoping my next home will be my forever one.
At home, I'm an easy roommate. I spend most of my time relaxing indoors, but I also enjoy exploring a securely fenced yard. I sleep in bed with my person because, honestly, that's one of my favorite places to be! When my human needs to be away, I'm trustworthy enough to have free run of the house for up to about five hours.
I walk nicely on a loose leash and enjoy taking in the sights and smells without dragging you down the sidewalk. I've lived peacefully with cats and have done very well with them. I haven't had the chance to spend time around children or other dogs, so I'd be happiest in a calm home where I don't have to figure all of that out.
One thing you should know is that I like my meals to myself. I'm protective of my food, so it's best if everyone simply lets me eat in peace. It's an easy thing to manage, and I appreciate people who understand my boundaries.
My dream home is a relaxed, quiet place without children, where I can be someone's little shadow, warm the bed at night, and remind you every day that the best things really do come in small packages. If you're ready for a devoted little friend, I'll be waiting.

Hi, I'm Lollie, a 12-year-old Terrier/Chihuahua mix with a big heart
packed into my little 12-pound body. My mom has loved me for the past 10
years, but she's losing her housing and can no longer keep me. Her
greatest wish is to find me a safe, loving home—but there's one very
important request: I'd really love to stay with my best friend, Adastra
aka Addy. We've shared our lives together, and having each other makes
new places feel a little less scary.
I'm a sweet, gentle girl who gets along wonderfully with other dogs,
cats, and people. I can be a little shy when meeting new people,
especially men, but once I feel comfortable, I'm a devoted companion who
loves to stay close to my person. If you're looking for a loyal little
shadow, I might be exactly who you've been searching for.
I'm house trained, crate trained, and well-mannered. I know commands
like come, go lay down, and crate. I can climb stairs, hop in and out of
the car on my own, and I'm perfectly content spending a normal workday
relaxing at home while you take care of your day. I have a couple of
medical issues that the kind folks at SDRO have helped me with. I have
an enlarged heart so I now take Vetmedin and Furosimide to keep me
feeling great. I also need some prescription food to keep my liver in
check. No big deal on these things!! I am full of life and energy, and
you would never know anything is wrong!!! It is good to be aware
though so regular vet visits will be important going forward. I had my
teeth cleaned too so that is out of the way.
My favorite things are simple: curling up in a warm lap, soaking up
belly rubs, and snuggling as much as possible. Even though I'm in my
senior years, I still enjoy playing with other dogs, especially my buddy
Adastra. I'll even let you know if someone pulls into the driveway—I
like to keep an eye on things!
Addy is younger, playful, and still a little unsure of the world. I
think having me around gives her confidence, and she helps keep life fun
for me, too. We truly bring out the best in each other.
If you have room in your home and heart for two wonderful girls, you'll
be rewarded with twice the love, twice the companionship, and the joy of
keeping two best friends together. That's all we're hoping for.
