My story

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

Hi! My name is Lafayette .. but my foster family calls me Laffy (they tell me I'm a silly girl). I am a feisty redhead that will keep you entertained. I love playing with other dogs and with my person. I love food!! It's needed as I am an active lady, I can jump 4 feet into the air! There's this thing called a frisbee that I want to try, maybe with my new family. I do know how to ""kennel up"" and its my safe place when I want time alone.

I came from a not so great situation and at first I didn't trust humans.. you lot can be a bit overwhelming but I'm a tough chihuahua and I didn't back down from the challenge. I'm glad I didn't because now I know that people mean good things, like butt and neck scratches (my FAVORITE), food and treats and I like giving kisses in gratitude.

I like other dogs, if you have a dog that is younger, my size'ish and wants to play.. that would be so much fun!To have your home considered for adoption, read about our adoption process or fees, and find out about interstate transport, please visit our website, www.LongWayHomeAdoptables.org and click the adopt tab!
