**Meet Cupcake: Your Sweet Senior Companion**

Cupcake is the first of our Chi mixes from the hoarding situation that is ready for adoption. She qualifies for our seniors for seniors program.

Cupcake is an adorable senior Chihuahua mix, ready for her forever home after being rescued from a challenging situation. Despite her shyness, this little lady has a heart full of love to give. Cupcake adores snuggling into fluffy blankets next to her favorite person, finding comfort and warmth in their presence.

This gentle soul needs a little extra time to bond, but once she does, she will eagerly seek out pets and affection. Cupcake will use a potty pad when outside isn't an option, she will graciously alert you when she needs to go out, the doggy door makes her a bit nervous so she does not use it.

Having come from a home where she wasn't held often, Cupcake is still learning to feel comfortable in arms. With patience and love, she’s making strides in this area and is beginning to appreciate being held. She thrives in a home where her people can be around most of the time, as she can throw a tantrum if left in a crate—often expressing her feelings by flipping her bed and dishes. However, she does well left uncrated when she feels safe.

Cupcake has recently undergone dental surgery, resulting in the removal of all her teeth due to infection, but don't let that fool you; she eats just fine and continues to live life to the fullest. Ideally, she would thrive in a home without small children, but she gets along well with other dogs and even cats in her foster environment.

If you're looking for a sweet, snuggly companion who just needs a little time and understanding, Cupcake might just be the perfect match for you!
