Welcome to our family, Fernando

We are happy to announce that Fernando is no longer our foster dog, but instead he is a member of our family! We love him …. and he seems to love us back, and we think he needs us.  AND we know that Harley would approve 100%!

Tiny Fernando was found running in city traffic and then was thrown in a shelter where he certainly would have been euthanized, but fortunately Muttville Senior Dog Rescue of San Francisco took him in. We asked the awesome folks at Muttville if we could foster Fernando and they worked with us to transport Fernando to Colorado. Last night we brought him home from the airport and before we even arrived home … we were in love with this special little Chihuahua.

Fernando is about 12 years old and he comes with a variety of physical ailments, but we can make sure he is happy and comfortable for the rest of his life.

Enjoy his photos below!

  2. I’m SOOO ELATED that you found even more love in your hearts to adopt Fernando! I’m SURE he was in love with Harley’s Mom and Dad the second he laid eyes on you both and I bet the feeling was mutual! It warms my heart to know how you opened your home for another pup in need. If more people knew how amazing these sweet little adoptable angels wee THERE would be #nomorepuppymills
