My personality

My story

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

Meet Betty, the 15-pound, 8-year-old Chihuahua with a heart as big as her love for napping. This little lady lost her beloved human, and she's on the lookout for a new snuggle buddy. She’s already claimed her foster's bed, so if you're adopting her, prepare to share!

She’s great with other dogs and cool with cats. She loves playing with her small, dog foster sibling in her current home. Betty would do best in a quiet adult home but should be okay with occasional dog savvy kid visitors.

She’s currently on a fitness journey, shedding a few pounds so she can reach her best Betty self. Pee-pad trained? Check. Walks? Well, sort of. She’s easing into this whole "exercise" thing and her motto is more "short, leisurely stroll" than "power walk". Oh, and after some culinary rehab, she’s finally learning that dog food isn't so bad... when it’s not upstaged by people food. 

She’s a little shy with new people and might bark her initial greeting, but once she warms up, she’s all love. Bonus: Betty can be easily scooped up like the tiny princess she is, and lying on the grass is her jam.

Fun fact: Betty’s a total Velcro dog. The vets and staff at the clinic adored her so much they carried her around like a doll. If you’re looking for a pint-sized cuddle bug who will fill your life with sweetness and sass, Betty’s your girl. Ready to make this lovebug part of your forever home?

Visual breed identification in dogs is unreliable, so for most of the dogs, we are only guessing at the predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.

We expect that all adopted dogs will enroll in a formal dog training class with their new owners.  Obedience and training classes are an excellent way to learn more about your newly adopted dog, gain handling and training experience, and improve your relationship with your pet.
