LITTLE BIT - CHIHUAHUA (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Meet Little Bit (or LB, as we like to call her)! This tiny girl was left behind with her buddy, Phoebe, when their owners were evicted from their trailer park home. A kind neighbor took them in and cared for them for a few weeks while trying to find them a safe place, eventually reaching out to our rescue for help. Now in foster care, LB is thriving. She’s living with a senior dog and a cat, and doing well with both. She may bark at the cat on occasion, but responds well to correction. She enjoys the company of other dogs and would do best in a home with a calm canine companion. LB was understandably timid at first, but after a few days she started to trust. Now, she greets her foster mom with tail wags and kisses when she comes home. LB is crate-trained and currently stays in a gated area when left alone. She’s also potty-trained and will go to the door to let you know when it’s time to go out. Good girl, LB! LB has proven to be a sweet, affectionate lap dog. She loves to curl up on your lap, snuggle into soft blankets, nap in cozy dog beds, and sunbathe. Her foster mom describes her as a low-energy couch potato who’s happiest when lounging close to her person. While LB walks fine on a leash, she doesn’t like to go too far just yet. Loud noises still scare her a bit. We suspect she didn’t get much exposure to the outside world in her previous home, but with time and reassurance, she’s gaining confidence. Weighing in at 9 pounds, LB has a sweet personality packed into a tiny frame. She’ll alert you when the mail arrives or neighbors come by, but settles down quickly with a little reassurance. LB is ready to find her forever family, a loving home with a cozy lap, soft blankets, and a gentle pup companion to keep her company. Could it be yours? Apply today!
