Female Dog, Chihuahua
Chihuahua / Mixed (Short Coat)
Description:
Sissy is a sweet, gentle, and playful girl. She enjoys exploring the outdoors and she loves to run and play with the other small dogs in her foster home! A fenced in yard would be best for Sissy, allowing her to go in/out independently to do her business. She enjoys going on walks and she is learning to walk well on a leash. Sissy travels quietly in the car. She is potty trained, and she enjoys playing and chewing on toys. It will be important to have a confident small dog in Sissy’s forever home to help her continue to learn to trust people. Sissy is cautious when meeting new people and it is important to let her settle in on her own timeline. Despite her cautiousness, Sissy's not aggressive, she’s just timid when it comes to new human interaction. Sissy does enjoy a good rub when she trusts you. Now that she trusts us, one of her favorite times of the day is when she’s allowed up on our bed in the morning with all our dogs where she can get lots of love and rubs, and she cuddles in next to all of us. She will nudge your hand for more rubs! With patience, time, and the influence of her small furry siblings, Sissy's confidence is growing daily. Sissy’s sweet playful side shines through every day! Sissy would be a wonderful companion for another small playful dog. Sissy currently lives with small dogs and adults. Energetic large dogs and young children make her very nervous. Older respectful teenage children may be okay, A larger dog that is low key and quiet should be fine with slow introductions. A quieter household with not a lot of visitors would make Sissy most comfortable. If you are looking for a sweet, gentle, quiet, and even-tempered dog who’d love to play with your small dog, then Sissy may be the girl for you. Every day she shows us what a wonderful girl she is blossoming into! It will be important to be patient with her to earn her trust, and to have a quieter home with no young kids, and no high energy large dogs. Sissy would be fine hanging out in another room in the house with a “safe place” if young kids visited. A fenced in yard would be the perfect home for Sissy.
