Adopt a Chihuahua (short coat)

Chihuahua (short coat) Dog

Nina the Dog needs a home

How do you do, my name is Nina! I'm a 2 year old spayed female Chihuahua. I'm a shy girl that can take some time to warm up-I'm hoping my new family will already have experience with shy dogs and will give me the time and patience to warm up and find my confidence. I have done well with other small dogs here at the shelter, but I haven't had the chance to meet kids or cats. Because of my small size and shy temperament, though, mellow older kids or adults only would probably make me happiest.


If you're looking for a little extra sweetness in your life, come meet Nina, ID# A831503.


Unless otherwise indicated, adoptable animals are located at our Lantos Center for Compassion at 1450 Rollins Road, Burlingame, CA 94010. Our hours are weekdays from 11am-7pm and weekends from 11am-6pm (closed major holidays). Interested adopters must arrive at least 1 hour before close. 



We do our best to update our listings regularly, but we can’t guarantee every animal you see is still available. It’s also typical for us to have animals who haven’t had their photos taken yet, so you are welcome to visit our adoption center and have a look around!



To check on an animal's adoption status, please call 650-340-7022 during normal business hours to speak with an adoption counselor or 650-340-7022 ext. 823 anytime to hear a recording of our available animals (updated each morning). Emails will be returned as soon as possible, but please allow up to 48 hours during busy adoption periods like weekends.
