Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Adoption Fee: $250. Meet El Nina! This 10lb sweetheart was found abandoned and pregnant, and was never claimed by anyone. True to her breed, Nina is affectionate, loyal, and happiest curled up as your personal lap warmer. She’s also lived with cats and does best with the ones who are dog-savvy. Even tiny dogs need structure, and without it, Nina will happily run your household like a pint-sized Napoleon. For that reason, a home without small kids—and all the constant comings and goings—is best. Nina is crate trained, knows the dog door, and is super food- and toy-motivated, which makes her fun to train. With clear rules and boundaries, she thrives, finding comfort in her people and her dog siblings. She’ll need a home with other social, confident dogs who can help her feel safe and become her pack. Once she settles in and builds a relationship, you'll find her curled up with her favorite dog sibling. Don’t be fooled by her size—Nina loves adventure! Nina may have been abandoned once, but she’s ready to be claimed for good. If you’re looking for a tiny companion with a big personality, Nina’s your girl.

Overview:
The Chihuahua, a captivating breed known for its diminutive size, boasts an ancient and somewhat mysterious origin, with most theories pointing to Mexico as its birthplace, potentially descending from the "Techichi," a small companion dog of the Toltec civilization. Physically, they are easily recognizable by their small, compact bodies, large expressive eyes, and erect ears, appearing in both smooth and long-coated varieties, showcasing a vast array of colors and markings. Despite their tiny stature, Chihuahuas possess a big personality; they are often described as spirited, alert, and fiercely loyal to their owners, sometimes displaying a bold and confident demeanor. While their small size makes them exceptionally well-suited for apartment living, they thrive in homes where they receive ample attention and mental stimulation. They can be good family pets for older children who understand how to interact gently with a small dog, but their delicate build makes them less suitable for boisterous toddlers. Regarding health, Chihuahuas can be prone to certain conditions like patellar luxation, heart problems, and dental issues, making regular veterinary check-ups crucial for their well-being.
