Story
Suzy is currently being fostered in Houston, TX and can be transported out of state to an approved adopter. She will be on a spay/neuter contract and will need to be spayed once she is 6 months of age. Our adoption fee is $575 and includes transportation and all vetting. Suzy is a 5 month old chihuahua mix that was rescued from the streets of Cleveland, TX when her mom had her and her siblings. Since then she has been nothing but a happy, healthy puppy! She loves to play with other dogs and her toys and has tons of energy. She is still learning how to 'dog' and will need an owner that understands the commitment of training and socializing a young puppy. She is crate trained and getting the hang of potty training. She is cat, dog and kid friendly. We think Suzy would do best in any home. Please apply here: https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/DDAR/Dog
