Story
Judy is an 8 years old chihuahua mix girl.
Notes from her foster:
Judy has been through a lot. When found, she had: fleas, enlarged mammary glands, patches of missing fur, bleeding paws/nail beds, and large scabs across her entire body. Despite all of her emotional and physical traumas, she's had a remarkable rehabilitative journey! From cowering and quiet to confident and communicative! She's even grown a lot of her hair back and is softer than ever!
More recently, she's begun communicating (especially when she wants food), and she's been coming out of her shell more and more each day. While her physical ailments are mostly recovered, she can still be really sensitive around certain parts of her body - mainly her paws, ears, and when putting on a harness. As a warning, she communicates her discomfort by yelping, baring her teeth, and sometimes nipping.
But don't let this discourage you! At heart, she is a sweet, tender, and loving little girl who deserves all the love in the world. When bonded with her human, she can be incredibly trusting and affectionate. She loves to burrow and cuddle all day and all night. She very much gets along with other small dogs and mainly keeps to herself - and once comfortable - can even occasionally cuddle up with other dogs.
Judy is also potty trained to go outside and communicates when she wants to go out. Due to her calm and loving nature, she is generally low maintenance with very few needs. A private backyard area is recommended for easy access for potty breaks. For someone who is gentle, affectionate, attentive, loving, and patient - Judy can be the perfect dog.
Her main likes include: eating, sitting in the sun, cuddling, napping, burrowing, short walks (with a collar, not harness), being carried in a sling, and being bathed weekly.
Her dislikes include: putting on a harness, getting her nails trimmed, going to the vet, and dogs on the street.
