First off, this tiny girl can bark so if you live somewhere that this will be an issue, please keep scrolling. Chia is full of energy and personality! She loves to play with toys and chew on bones. She’s very puppy like and seems younger than her stated age of 2. At first meet she will bark, chase, and act a fool but within just a few minutes she will be your friend. She gets along with all the dogs, big and small, in the house even if she gets jealous sometimes. For a small thing, she exudes a lot of confidence and tries to be the boss. She’s even fine with the cats. Chia is very food motivated so hopefully will train easily. She’s still working on house training. She sleeps well under the covers through the night. She will howl cry when left in a kennel but recently she only does it for a short period of time, but still a kennel may never be ideal for her. She’s also only been left in the kennel when other dogs are in the room so we aren’t sure how she’d do alone. She loves attention and getting loved on. She walks well on a leash and is good in the car. So if you are looking for a fun loving, playful girl who loves to bark, please apply. She is spayed and up to date on vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $300. All Second Chance Dog Rescue dogs are spayed/neutered, are up to date on vaccines and have microchips prior to adoption. Adoption fees vary depending on age of dog. Fees help Second Chance Dog Rescue cover spay/neuter costs, vaccinations, medical treatments, food and supplies. Please go to .secondchancedogrescue and complete an application today! All dogs live in private foster homes until they are adopted.

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.
