Adopt a Chihuahua / Mixed

A FRIENDLY & SWEET GIRL:  13 years old / 15.5 lbs.  Mostly Mutts adoption facility is open Mon-Sat. 11-4pm.  Some of us are in foster homes so please call 770-272-6888 1st to find out if I’m available to meet during the week.  I’m a shy but friendly and lovable older girl who has lost my home due to my dad having to travel a lot and not having anyone to help care for me.  I’m sad about that, but I know there’s a great family out there who I’ll love and will love me too! I’m very happy to be in your lap or carried (please use both arms to carry me—I feel more secure that way). I’m an older girl and my vision is not what it used to be, so I hope you don’t mind leaving lots of lights on for me as I see much better in bright or sunny environments!  Since I’m not seeing as well now, I am a little wary of other dogs. I’d prefer they respect my “personal space”.  I love to stretch out on the couch with my blanket and have a person to snuggle with. My foster mom reports I’m doing well with potty training, yay for me!  When they leave, they put in the kitchen with a baby gate and a blanket, and I’m a good girl. I’m great on the leash and love short walks and I do tend to bark at strangers that I see in the distance.  Once they are close to me, I don’t consider them strangers any longer and am friendly.  Silly me!  I’d prefer that you don’t pick me up—just a quirk I have. My foster mom says that I’m sweet, snuggly and affectionate. But, I’m still getting used to all the recent changes in my life and will need time to relax and feel confident, so just be patient with me. I do shake when I’m nervous, but I’ll stop once I’m feeling safe and secure. Older kids as I’m small and older myself and little kids make me nervous.  Energy level: 4-6.  I'm current on vaccinations, micro-chipped, spayed and my adoption fee is $100.00.
