Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Loves other dogs!!Meet Geri – The Little Dog with a Big Heart (Once You Earn It) Geri is a petite 8-pound sweetheart, about two years old, with a gentle soul that blossoms when given time and patience. She’s a “love on layaway” kind of girl — here’s what you can expect when welcoming her home: Day 1: She’ll keep her distance and quietly watch you from afar. Day 2: Curiosity will take over, and she’ll start exploring her new home. Day 3: She’ll take food from your hand, realizing you’re the bringer of good things. Day 4: You’ll have a tiny shadow who follows you everywhere, ready to be your new best friend. Geri is great with other dogs but doesn’t need them to thrive — she can be happy as your one-and-only or as part of a gentle pack. Because she’s easily startled by loud noises, she’d do best in an adult-only home or one without young children. If you’re the kind of person who finds joy in earning a shy dog’s trust, Geri will be the most rewarding friend you’ve ever had For a complete list of our pets and photos please visit our website fochp

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.
