This petite sweetheart has taken well to crate life — she happily trots to her pen when told “go to bed,” especially if there’s a tiny treat involved. While she’s still working on house training, she responds warmly to praise and is improving with consistency. She’s gradually getting the hang of leash walking. She loves free play in the yard or a calming stroller ride. With patience and practice, Mary Jane is showing she can become a reliable little walker. New people can feel a bit intimidating to her at first, but if she’s being held, she blossoms quickly. On a beach outing, she was snuggling with her foster’s family by day one — a perfect example of her affectionate nature once she feels safe. She’s also timid around other dogs but shows potential for positive introductions. Mary Jane is mostly quiet, with the occasional alert bark when startled. She would do well in an apartment setting and can absolutely be an only dog. Her energy level is moderate — she loves exploring with her buddy Rowdy, but she’s just as thrilled to curl up in your lap for hours. A fenced yard isn’t required; she’ll do fine with leash walks for potty breaks and exercise. Why adopt Mary Jane? Because she’s an adorable, devoted little companion who brings joy with her snuggles, gentle playfulness, and her happy morning greetings. She’s fun, she’s loving, and she’s ready to be someone’s cherished best friend. EVERY DOG HAS A STORY: Mary Jane's owner passed away. She was admitted into BFPA to find her forever home. Some of the information contained in this biography includes approximations based on our expertise and is not guaranteed. Applicants ideally should live no more than one hour from Cary NC as our dogs must be seen by a BFPA veterinarian for all medical care prior to adoptions being finalized. Our foster guardians deliver dogs to their new homes for adoption trials and we do home visits to finalize all adoptions. We therefore prefer to adopt locally in the Cary NC area. For the perfect home for Mary Jane, we may consider a distance a bit further. INTERESTED IN ADOPTING MARY JANE?

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.
