MITSY - TERRIER / CHIHUAHUA / MIXED (MEDIUM COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Terrier / Chihuahua / Mixed (medium coat). Adoption Fee: $350. Mitsy has become a longer term resident with us and we aren't sure why or how?!? This petite little girl is so cute and such a love bug we don't get it. Mitsy has been in a foster home with us since February! How can this be? Mitsy is beyond ready and reserving of her forever home so don't wait! Mitsy is around 1.5 years old and a small and compact 30 lbs. She is such a darling and is full of love, cuddles and snuggles. She is dog friendly but we think with the right family could also be an only dog. She can but a bit timid and unsure in new situations so a patient, loving and supportive person or family would be best. She is a playful and silly girl who brings a smile to your face. Mitsy is crate and house trained. She is excellent in her crate when her foster mom isn't home. She is too interested in cats so no kitties please. Mitsy would be ok in a home with kids 8+. Little kid movement and sounds are too frightening for her. Mitsy loves to zoom in the yard but could also be ok learning to leash walk for exercise. She does potty fine on leash but will need some time to gain confidence with leash walking in busier areas. Mitsy is so sweet and affectionate and we can't wait for her to find her forever person/people to share this with. She is a world class nap buddy after she has spent time playing. Mitsy occupies herself well with toys, bones and kongs and is a great house guest and co worker while her foster mom works during the day. Don't miss out on this awesome pup!
