Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Chiquita is a small Chi-x girl whose history is a real unknown. She loves people and tries to give them kisses when they pick her up. She will gladly be held for as long as you want to hold her. She was, understandably, overwhelmed a bit by all the bigger dogs at the shelter. A volunteer visited with her personal Aussie. Chiquita tolerated the Aussie's presence until it became obvious he was looking for a way to "hump" Chiquita. At that time, Chiquita voiced her displeasure with a growl but there was no follow through.
Because she was a bit stressed in the shelter, we have moved Chiquita to a home that fosters for the shelter and will test her with the resident small dogs there. Please stay tuned for updates as we learn more about her.
For now, we would recommend a home without kids. We do not have the ability to test her with children and think she would benefit from a quiet home that has experience with Chihuahuas and other smaller breed dogs.
The shelter does not have the ability to heartworm testing, deworming or vaccinations on-site; however, for reputable rescues, local volunteer assistance is available for transport to a local Vet clinic for such testing and to obtain appropriate vaccines and Health Certificate at the rescue's expense.
