I really have to confess that to me a chihuahua is not actually a dog. I am a big dog person 99% of the time. Pepper is an exception. Also, I had a foster pug who was just such a character. But he was the fittest pug in existence. Most pugs are so fat that they can hardly get out of their own way. They have a hard enough time breathing as it is…

Cavaliers are lovely little dogs, but finding one in a shelter is highly unlikely. Maybe breed rescue…

Are you familiar with Petfinder?

Oh, I just noticed that you are in NC. At least 50% of the dogs adopted here in New England seem to come from the south, where people apparently don’t spay neuter and kill shelters are common. You should have NO problem finding a lovely dog down there!
