My story

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

Joplin is a pint-sized, precocious & perky chihuahua girl! She's 2 years old & weighs 4.8 lbs. She's just the prettiest thing! PLEASE NOTE: She must be adopted into a home with another playful dogs. Joplin love to play with toys when she's not happily ensconced on someone's lap. When she wants to be held, she will let you know ... she's very insistent LOL! Joplin has been a bit inconsistent on potty training, as so many of these tiny dogs are; it's been more difficult with the winter weather as she gets cold easily so will need more work in this area. Joplin loves car rides as that means more time with her person. We have worked with getting her more comfortable with people and she's now taking treats from strangers but is still worried about being handled by them. But once she bonds, Joplin is incredibly affectionate & cuddly. Due to her small size & fear of strangers, we don't recommend her in a home with kids under 12 years of age. Her adoption fee is $350; she's spayed, microchipped & current on vaccinations as well as monthly heartworm/flea preventative. Applications can be found at waldosmuttleycrew.org .
