Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua. Poor Phoebe was at the shelter for about 2 months and her time was up there. She was nervous and scared in their shelter cages of all the loud barking dogs and noises. Once out in the office she relaxed and seeked cuddling from staff lady. Very sweet and gentle. Tested fine with other shelter dogs. She did fine with our transporter and vet office. Cuddled with our volunteer transporter. At her foster home she first hid but her foster home walked in she ran out of hiding into her arms. She is now very happy and feels safe. Princess Phoebe.

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.
