Female Dog, Chihuahua
Chihuahua / Rat Terrier / Mixed
Description:
Anna Arendelle came to rescue when her owner had to enter dementia care, and she’s ready for a quiet, loving retirement home. This gentle senior is easygoing, affectionate, and happiest when she’s curled up on the couch or nestled on your lap. She’s friendly with people, other dogs, and even cats. Anna Arendelle is crate trained, rides well in the car, and has a calm, low-energy way about her that makes her no trouble at all. Like many older dogs, she can’t hold her bladder for long stretches, so a home where someone is around more often will suit her best. She’s a sweet, quiet little lady who doesn’t ask for much—just comfort, companionship, and a soft place to nap close to her person. *This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.* Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and recommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape. Anna is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 10/4/2025 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am and noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven’t arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start’s Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start’s veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract. To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page. If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
