Female Dog, Chihuahua
Chihuahua / Mixed (Long Coat)
Description:
Pepper was born about August 1, 2024 and will probably top out in the 5 lb. range when filled out. She has had a loving environment growing up with an elderly woman with few resources. Coming here, to us (an hour away) was only the second time she has been in a car (in a cat crate) and there was some drooling sickness. She has been around few other humans with simply no outdoor play time and found comfort in friendship with the other 70 lb. dog and several kitties, she was wonderful with all of them. We were told she generally uses a litter box with pellets for potty or a potty pad. Pepper has never seen a veterinarian in her life until she arrived here and we'll be doing all necessary health care to ready her for a new home. Pepper grew up having a full time mom and we feel going forward she will thrive in a home where someone is home more time than not. Pepper came from a now closed due to NYS law pet store in Wellsville called Wet and Wild and she was purchased for $900 as a Pom. OK, well, maybe there is some Pom in there, but she surely looks like a Chihuahua to us. Her owner was kind and even though Pepper had to come here because she was losing her home and forced to move into an apartment that only allowed one cat she offered us some cash which we promptly denied as we explained that we are so very fortunate to have so many previous adopters along with many dog loving friends and supporters that we told her the most important thing is that she take care of herself and Joyful Rescues and our community of helpers would take care of her dogs.
