History- This sweet baby was surrendered with another Chihuahua we have named Trixie. They are super cute and playful together. This little girl though was very frightened and snappy so they requested rescue for her in hopes a different environment would be better for her. Sure enough just that small change worked wonderfully and she showed how sweet she truly is. Some dogs just can't handle the commotion in a shelter environment - nothing against the shelters it is just a stressful environment with so many barking dogs and strangers all around them. I am grateful they call us rather than putting them down for possible aggression.
Temperament- Super sweet, very playful, and loves attention.
Energy Level- Pretty mellow enjoys sitting on laps whenever possible
Dogs/Cats- Ignores the cats completely. She doesn't play with the other dogs she has met but she's not aggressive either. She does play with her friend Trixie so she knows how to play she just has not shown interest in the others yet.
Housetrained- She seems somewhat house trained. However as with all new dogs she should be watched initially to ensure she doesn't start having accidents- she needs to be shown the rules of your home from the get go.
Dixie would love to be a little lap dog enjoying life playing and cuddling with her new family. She truly wants to just be with a person all the time. If you want a cute little velcro dog this is your girl as she wants nothing more than to sit in laps. We would love to keep the 2 girls together if possible however we know that that isn't always doable but if someone wanted both we would give a $100 discount making it $300 for both together.
Adoption fee $200 includes spay, age appropriate vaccinations (4 for puppies), deworming, microchip, rabies, collar and leash, training information, and all the support you need.
