Adopt a Chihuahua / Terrier / Mixed (medium coat)

Name: Sheila

DOB: 10/5/2016 estimated

Weight: 10 lbs

Adoption Fee: $325

My name is Sheila! I joined Ruff Start Rescue all the way from Louisiana. Boy, was that a trip! 

I am a super sweet and affectionate girl that loves to cuddle and give kisses. My foster mom says I and super fun and energetic too, so would do best in an active home. 

I do well with other dogs, but I do prefer to be introduced slow and warm up to them in my own time. I can be a bit overzealous in trying to play with them, but if you tell me no, I will listen. 

I've discovered my voice and like to bark when I hear strange noises or when I see something interesting through the window. Because of this, an apartment or townhome probably wont be suitable for me. 

I've been struggling a little with potty training because I haven't figured out how to give you the queue that I have to go potty. Right now, I get down and go to the door, but if you miss this, I may have an accident. Staying on a consistent schedule has helped me greatly. 

I am looking for someone to love me forever! Could that be you?
