Story
Tiny Dancer is a sweet little 2-year-old Chihuahua mix, weighing around 10lbs of love! She enjoys propping herself up on her hind legs and "dancing" This little one loves being outside and soaking up nature, making her the perfect adventure buddy for anyone who enjoys a good walk. True to her Chihuahua roots, Tiny can be a little selective — but earn her trust and you’ve got a best friend for life. She does best with mellow, easygoing dogs and would thrive with a single person, a couple, or a lucky retiree looking for a loyal companion. Kids can be a bit overwhelming for her, so she’d love to be the one and only baby of the house. Ready to be her person?

Story
Apply to Adopt Me!Age: 11 years oldGender: FemaleBreed: ChihuahuaColor: White and BlackWeight: 3.7 kgAbout Me: Meet Lulu 🐾Age: ~11 years | Breed: Chihuahua | Location: Nanaimo, BCLulu is a tiny old lady with a big personality and very clear opinions—especially when it comes to treats! Since settling into her foster home in Nanaimo, she’s been feeling much better. She’s now on a special vet-recommended diet along with her injections, and the improvement has been wonderful to see.She’s very food motivated and has one specific type of treat she absolutely loves. When she thinks it’s time, she’ll dance around, follow you everywhere, and is also known to give a determined nose-boop to your leg as a reminder. In her foster home she eats separately so nobody steals her food, which helps keep everyone happy.She loves to sit beside you on the couch and happily sleeps in bed—preferably right on the pillow if you’ll allow it. 💛 She is well-versed in doggie stairs and ramps to get up and down, but if you forget to put them back into place, she will use all her might to leap onto the couch—and usually makes it.Lulu coexists with the dogs in her foster home but isn’t particularly impressed with the young, energetic one. She would likely prefer a calm home with older dogs or possibly being the only pet, where she can enjoy a quieter lifestyle. She watches the cat in her foster home but has not tried to interact with him at all—he is bigger than her and dog-savvy.Potty training has improved significantly. With no carpets in her foster home, she’s had only one accident (when her foster mom slept through Lulu’s usual 6:30 wake-up call 😅). She’s very close to being house trained but will still need routine and gentle reminders in a new home.She’s mostly a chill girl who naps much of the day but has bursts of funny, puppy-like energy. She walks on leash, though she has strong opinions about weather—rain, cold, or wind are often met with refusal and strategic “driveway pottying” to make a speedy return indoors.During low light she can startle easily, but if you wake her slowly or let her know you’re there, she’s happy to accept gentle pets and reassurance.Lulu is a quirky, lovable companion with so much charm to offer. She’ll make you laugh, keep you on your toes, and snuggle into your heart if you give her the time and space to trust. 🐾📍 Currently in Nanaimo, BC✈️ Transport available to approved adopters
