My story

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

Animal Profile:  Cricket is a very petite cutie that is looking for a new home here in Seattle.  She is estimated to be 5 year old, and weighs only 5.5 pounds! Cricket   is bound to find a lucky family here in the PNW!

 Foster Update: A true cuddle-bug at heart, Cricket is the definition of a "velcro dog." She loves nothing more than to be held close, nestled in your arms, curled up on your lap, or snuggled up in her little bed next to you on the couch. She's a champion sleeper and will happily snooze the day away by your side. Don't be surprised if she tries to climb into your coat or sweater for maximum snuggles! We like to call her the pocket-sized pup with a big personality. This little lady has a big personality packed into a tiny frame. She loves to prance around and be the center of attention. Cricket enjoys car rides and errands, always ready to be your stylish copilot. While Cricket is friendly with our small resident dog, she's not overly interested in playing with him. She'll cutely scrabble around the floor chasing a toy of choice, but really prefers to spend her time cuddling. She's a quiet girl who is also crate-trained and sleeps great through the night. She has done pretty well with her potty training, but will still need a consistent routine to get the hang of things.  Cricket would enjoy an adult-only home where she can be an active member of the family. She'll make an awesome companion while you work; glad to be burrowed in a warm blanket nearby. True to her chihuahua nature, she loves a good sunbathing opportunity and she thrives with leadership. She is loyal, and bonds quick & hard. She'll thrive with a family that can be the confident leader in the household, where she can follow the lead rather than feel the need to take on the role as pack leader. 

 Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $550 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations per AVMA standards, heartworm test if applicable, and microchip with registration. Your adoption fee may be tax deductible as DGS is a 501c3 organization. All adoption fees go toward the care of all dogs in our rescue.
