She's playful, confident, and always ready to make you smile with her silly antics. If you're looking for a quiet dog, Chia probably isn't your girl—she has plenty to say and isn't shy about using her voice. Because of this, she'll do best in a home where barking won't be an issue. Chia has an adorable, puppy-like spirit and often seems much younger than her age. She loves playing with toys, chewing on bones, and zooming around the house. When meeting new people, she can be a bit dramatic—barking, chasing, and making a big first impression—but give her just a few minutes and she's ready to be your new best friend. She gets along well with both large and small dogs and has even done well with cats. While she enjoys having furry friends around, Chia also has a confident streak and likes to think she's in charge. Her big personality is part of her charm! Chia is very food motivated, which should make continued training fun and rewarding. She's still working on her house-training skills and is making progress. She sleeps soundly under the covers at night and loves being close to her people. She isn't a fan of the crate and may cry or howl for a short time when kenneled, so a home where crating isn't a regular necessity would be ideal. Since she's only been kenneled with other dogs nearby, we're not sure how she'd do if left completely alone. She walks nicely on leash, rides well in the car, and absolutely loves attention and affection. Chia will thrive in an adult-only home with someone who appreciates her spirited personality and is willing to continue helping her build confidence and good manners. If you're looking for a fun, affectionate, entertaining little companion who will keep you laughing and never let you miss the doorbell, Chia just might be your perfect match. Chia is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and ready 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.
