My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

So tiny, so sweet-tempered and so lovable!! Meet Mamacita and Jake, two happy, lighthearted and oh! sooo friendly! Chihuahuas. A pair of the most delightful youngsters you will ever encounter. Jake, has a handsome black coat with tan and white markings and weighs just 7 pounds; Mamacita, his beautiful brown coated mom, weighs in at 8 pounds. Our best guess is that Jake was born in 2013 and Mamacita in 2012. Both dogs have friendly, out-going personalities that make them real people pleasers. One look into those big brown trusting eyes with just a hint of mischief hidden in them and your heart will melt. Their housetraining is coming along nicely, they will use wee-wee pads, newspapers and/or a doggy door but will need time and patience adjusting to your household and schedule. The pair came to us from animal control on 08/26/2013; turned in as strays, we know nothing of their background. Mamacita appeared to be in need of immediate veterinary attention. We care about little loving pets and even though they aren’t Shih Tzu we agreed to give them a chance. Mamacita has recovered nicely from the emergency surgery needed to clear up a nasty infection and can now look forward to a long healthy life. Jake, her very active, healthy little boy, is totally dependent on his mom and rarely leaves her side (he was despondent all the time she was in the hospital!!) Mamacita and Jake, with their ever-wagging tails, really treasure the lively attention of people and the pleasure of petting and hugs. They enjoy running and playing in the great outdoors (indoors too!). Keep in mind, these are not couch potato lap dogs, they will need a home with daily walks and energetic playtimes; although they can get a lot of exercise just tearing around the house (a favorite pastime!). They love people and never get enough hugs and snuggles!! Healthy and well behaved, a loving devoted mother and son, neither complete without the other. This pocket size pair must be adopted together, we will not separate them. Mamacita and Jake are spayed and neutered, microchipped, current on all vaccines, heartworm and flea/tick preventative, and they have had a complete physical and dental. Their combined adoption fee is $400. This pair must be adopted together; they have formed a bond that we will not break.
