Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua. **ALL ADOPTIONS INCLUDE A HOME VISIT. YOU MUST LIVE IN BROWARD & PALM BEACH COUNTIES** Meet Winter: A Tiny Soul Ready to Bloom With Love This little beauty is Winter, a fragile Chihuahua with the softness of a snowflake and a spirit quietly waiting to be nurtured back into fullness. She may be small, but her heart has already shown remarkable courage. After surviving neglect, Winter arrived underweight and in need of care. She has since had a much-needed dental cleaning, where eight painful teeth were removed. Although her previous owner claimed she was five, our vet feels she is likely closer to eight years old, yet her spark is unmistakable. As her health improves and her body fills out, her true age may reveal itself more clearly. Now weighing just a few pounds, she is gradually building muscle and gaining strength. With the support of high-quality cooked or canned food and gentle, consistent care, she is steadily blossoming. Her joy shows up in the sweetest ways, a soft fan-tail swish, tiny pounces of excitement on her front paws, and the way she lovingly shadows her foster parents around the home as her daily “fitness routine.” Winter will thrive in a quiet, adult home where she can be cherished, protected, and spoiled with all the comfort she missed before. She’s delicate, sensitive, and deeply loving, a little winter breeze looking for a warm heart to call home. If you’re someone who finds peace in nurturing, who appreciates gentle companionship and understands the beauty of healing at a slow, loving pace, Winter is ready to melt into your arms. This dog's adoption fee is $500 to go towards their vetting (vaccines, spay/neuter, heartworm/Ehrlichia/Lyme test, fecal test, pre-op blood work, dental cleaning, and microchip as well as grooming if needed). If you are interested, please fill out the adoption application.

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.
