Our Dogs
We believe that all dogs are a lifetime commitment and members of the family and strive to find homes that share this same core belief. Every dog is unique in its physical needs and personality. Our goal is to match families with dogs that best suit each other’s needs.

CJ is a very sweet and cuddly senior chihuahua that's approximately 15 years old. He has CHF (congestive heart failure) which is maintained with medications. He is currently on Lasix, Benazepril, and Pimobendan. He has been in foster care for over three years, waiting for a loving, compassionate home to come along. One that will love him despite his age or CHF. It's been said time and time again by those who have met this sweet, old man, that he is unlike any chihuahua they've ever met.
This guy is incredibly mellow, low maintenance, and low energy. His favorite thing to do is cuddle in your lap or on the nearest dog bed. He is completely house broken and gets along with dogs and cats. He would make the perfect companion for anyone working from home, or an older, retired individual. If you've ever been interested in giving a senior a second chance at life, this is your boy!
CJ can be met by appointment only. Please submit an application today if interested in this sweet senior.
This sweetheart is 6yr old Doogie. He was surrendered to rescue when he was 2yrs old due to food aggression and lack of socialization to his environments. Over the years, he's made vast improvements with his foster.
Doogie has a tendency to get overly excited, which can quickly escalate. He's improved on his manners and leash behaviors while out, but will need a leader to help him continue being a well behaved dog. When he reacts, he will bark, lunge, and spin, but settles quickly with redirection. His food aggression has improved and will step away when asked to leave it.
He needs a leader who will continue to teach him impulse control and to wait for his release command. Doogie knows his basic obedience commands, is crate trained, and walks well on leash. He's make a great companion as an only dog or with a mellow male or female. He's a good candidate for a first time corgi owner with dog experience. We do not recommend Doogie in a home with young children. Doogie is up to date on vaccinations, neutered, and microchipped.
For more information about Doogie, email info@qbsdr.org or submit an application for review.
