Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). #A5759124 Siesta is a 3-year-old female, 14 lb Chihuahua who was owner surrendered with Mimi (A5759125) because their home had too many dogs. These little ladies have clearly shared a close bond and would love to stay together if possible, though they may also do well separately with the right patient adopters. Both girls are still adjusting to the shelter environment and would do best in adult-only homes. Siesta can be hesitant at first, but once she feels safe and begins to trust, her curious and sweet nature starts to show. With a little time, patience, and gentle socialization, both dogs have the potential to blossom into loving companions. They simply need a calm home where they can decompress and build confidence. -3 years old, female Chihuahuas -Owner surrender due to too many dogs -Came in together (Siesta A5759124 & Mimi A5759125) -Bonded pair; best if adopted together but can be separated -Adult-only homes recommended -Siesta is shy at first but becomes curious once comfortable -Both need continued socialization and patience Small, sweet companions looking for calm, loving homes SIESTA’S VIDEO: youtube/shorts/oR3OMnHhqMA For more information, contact volunteer Lor at lorunitedhopeforanimals ------- United Hope for Animals (UHA) is a volunteer group and does not have a facility for animals.

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.
