DONNA - CHIHUAHUA / TERRIER / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Terrier / Mixed (medium coat). Hello, I'm Donna! I am a terrier/chihuahua mix born approx 3/1/25. I've come a long way since being born on the streets in Mexico. Thanks to amazing humans, I was rescued with my mama and siblings when I was still itty-bitty and eventually made my way up to Minnesota! I'm loving my new life and getting used to being a house dog. Guess what? I love my crate so much that I go in all by myself! I like to follow my sister everywhere, but when it comes to crate time I lead the way. My foster Mama thinks this is Very Good Girl behavior. I even snuggle down pretty quick with my sister and sleep most of the night with just a *bit* of whining. I'm working on my potty training and am getting better every day. I get a bit nervous sometimes which makes it hard for me to remember to wait, but I've learned that I'm safe here and that's helping me gain so much confidence! I'm still a puppy, so accidents are bound to happen, but my foster Mama is learning my cues so they're not as frequent. I'm still trying to figure out what a leash is for - but my foster Mama says I'm very smart and should be able to get the hang of it once I'm settled. I've adjusted to this new home and new schedule surprisingly well, so I should be great for someone who wants to train me to their routine. Yes, I'm a bit vocal - there's just so much to talk about! But most of the time I only bark when I'm startled or if someone is walking by out the window or on the other side of the fence. You can never be too careful about strangers! I've traveled pretty far in my small life, but I don't let that scare me from going for car rides - I've ridden quietly with no motion sickness. I love playing with my puppy sister and two human foster sisters (ages 4 and 6), though they need to watch out for my puppy claws and teeth! I love new people and would do great in a house with kids. My favorite things in the whole world are doing zoomies in the backyard, finding something chewy to teeth on, and being forced to snuggle with my doggy sister and foster humans (I'm too polite to plonk right down, but with encouragement, I'll fall asleep on your lap for hours!). Personally, I think I'm the best age to find a forever home. I'm still definitely a puppy, but am crate and (mostly) potty trained so my new family can jump right into the fun training. I'm so excited for the next adventure, and can't wait to find a home that I can call my own forever Adoption fee includes: Full veterinary exam, Alter, Prepaid microchip, Dewormed, Rabies vaccine (if age appropriate), Distemper combo vaccine(s) appropriate to age, Bordetella vaccine, 4DX (over 6 months of age), Flea/tick and heartworm preventative while in rescue.
