Story
Meet Capri — a 1‑year‑old Chihuahua mix with a heart full of sweetness and a mission in life: to be loved, snuggled, and curled up in your lap. Quick Facts: Name: Capri Breed: Chihuahua Mix Age: 1 year old Weight: 6.6 lbs. House-Trained: Working on it (doing well with going outside and on pee pads)! Crate-Trained: Yes Good with Dogs: Yes Good with Cats: Yes Good with Kids: Yes Energy Level: Low (total lap pet) Fence Required: No About Capri’s Breed: Our best guess is that Capri is a Chihuahua mixed breed. Chihuahuas are known for their big personalities in tiny bodies, often forming incredibly strong bonds with their favorite people. They’re affectionate, expressive, and loyal companions who love to snuggle just as much as they enjoy exploring the world at their own pace. Despite their small size, they’re confident, alert, and full of charm. An ideal home for a Chihuahua is one that offers gentle handling, consistency, and plenty of companionship. They thrive with families who appreciate their sensitive nature and can provide a calm, loving environment. Because they bond so closely with their humans, they do especially well in homes where someone is around often and where their cozy, cuddly side can shine. What to Love about Capri: Capri is the definition of a true companion. She is quite the lovebug, so if you’re sitting down, she’s already on her way to claim her favorite spot… right on you! Capri is doing wonderfully with her potty training and even uses a pee pad in the home. With a bit of consistency and routine, she’ll keep improving. She’s crate trained and can relax in her crate when you’re away, though she’d much prefer to be with her people — especially if they have an open lap. She adores everyone she meets, including kids, and she’s been fantastic with other dogs, cats, and even farm animals like goats and chickens. She’s a gentle, easygoing, and slightly submissive little lady who may get spooked but recovers quickly. Her foster mom has never even heard her bark! Capri is a low‑energy couch potato at heart, but she enjoys going for walks and exploring the outdoors before settling in for a cozy nap. Did we mention how much she loves being in any open lap?? Her favorite pastime, though, is being carried, cuddled, and doted on — her foster family lovingly calls her Capri Sun because she’s just that sweet!
