CARI - CHIHUAHUA / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Mixed. Meet Cari! This sweet 13 pound, 4 year old girl is looking for a loving family to share all her cuddles, playtime, and endless love with! Whatever mix of breeds she is (our best guess is chihuahua mix, maybe there's corgi maybe she's a pocket pittie?!) makes her an adorable mutt with her big ears, brown spots, and stout little body. Cari is the ultimate companion—gentle, easygoing, and a total cuddle bug. Her side blep, polka dot belly, and really soft fur are just some of her endearing features. Her favorite things? Playing fetch, chewing on her toys, and snuggling up close for some quality couch time. Playing with toys gives her so much joy and don’t let this low rider fool you because she’s fast to chase down her favorite toys! She LOVES chasing a flirt pole, and can play fetch with you for hours on end. She has a favorite reindeer toy and never forgets where it is. Cari gets along great with dogs of all sizes, loves to wrestle with her foster siblings including a nine month old shepherd mix, and has enjoyed strutting around the dog park checking everyone out. She really thrives in a home with other dogs that she can play with, but will also not mind being the center of your attention. When meeting people, she can be a little aloof, and politely approaches and once she is offered some treats or under the neck scritches you're quickly her new friend. She is house trained and knows how to use a doggy door in her foster home, and doesn’t mind being left alone for several hours when her foster mom is at work. She's very easy going on walks, follows your lead and whatever dog is in her company, and can strut with you on the town, but also appreciates being a homebody. Cari came to our rescue from Mexico, and appears to have had a rough past with some healed battle wounds though you'd never know by her gentle sweetness. As you can see in her video, she has a painless twitch from surviving distemper, and her iconic blep is from a previous jaw injury and potentially from a scar she's got on the top of her head, but these things don't slow her down and she is a happy healthy girl! Cari is house trained and also has had a recent dental! Cari is ready to bring joy, loyalty, and lots of tail wags into her forever home. Could that be with you? If you’re looking for a loving, playful, and affectionate pup to complete your family, Cari might just be your perfect match!
