Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua. Adoption Fee: Sponsored. Meet Chica – Small in Size, Big on Loyalty At just 8 pounds, Chica may be tiny, but her devotion to the people she loves is anything but small. This 10-year-old brindle Chihuahua is looking for a calm, adult home where she can truly relax, feel secure, and be someone’s cherished companion. Chica isn’t one to demand attention, but once she trusts you, she becomes a sweet, affectionate little shadow. She loves quiet moments, cozy laps, and following her favorite human from room to room. Her loyalty runs deep, and she bonds best when she feels understood and respected. Because of her sensitive nature, Chica thrives in a peaceful environment with predictable routines and gentle handling. She could potentially live with another calm, respectful dog who understands and responds to her cues, but she does need her personal space honored. Small children are not a good fit, as Chica does not enjoy sudden movements or having her space invaded. Medical Notes: Chica has manageable skin sensitivities, including allergic dermatitis and pododermatitis, which are well controlled with routine care and a little extra TLC. Chica may not be the right match for every home, but for the right person—someone seeking a loyal, low-key companion with a big heart—she could be the perfect fit. If you’re looking for a devoted best friend who will love you deeply and quietly, Chica is ready to meet you. Located in Gulfport, MS Apply through Tired Dog Rescue

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.
