Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Virginia 11 yr old Female Chihuahua
Virginia came to us from Hollister Animal Shelter. She had been dropped off in the night box, staff were hoping the owner might come forward to claim her, as she was such a sweet loving gentle soul. We told them she could come to us when her hold time was up. Sadly, no-one came. Virginia is in good health as per our vet, no medical issues to be concerned about, she just needs to lose a little weight, so more walks and healthy food are on the menu. She is an easy soul to care for, gets along well with other small dogs, and a rabbit in the foster home. She enjoys going on walks and fits right, plus she is housebroken. Virginia would be a wonderful companion for a couple that works and one can come home at lunch to give her a short walk or a retired couple or person. Look at those appealing eyes. Please consider adopting and giving Ms. Virginia a forever home, she deserves it.
Virginia has to be on a special diet, Science KD Diet, late 2018 she was diagnosed with Renal Failure, after xrays, blood work, IV fluids and lots of great vet care, Virginia recovered, which to us and her vet
Dr. LeRous was nothing short of a miracle. We are so very grateful to all the caring persons who donated towards her vet expenses. Going forth Virginia will not require any thing other than a blood panel being done annually, just to make sure all is still fine. Maybe loose a few more pounds. Does anyone want a lovely senior dog to keep them company and go for walks. Ms. Virginia is waiting for you.
