Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua (short coat). Adoption Fee: $350. Hi, I’m Maura Raine! I’m 5 years old and I weigh in at about 8lbs. I’m a tiny little girl with big dark eyes and I’m looking for a family of my own who I can love forever. I really love people. I love to snuggle and give kisses. I will jump right onto your lap for cuddle! I haven’t been around little kids, but respectful kids over 8 should be just fine for me. I am a very loving little lady. I am also great with dogs of all sizes! I came to Rescue Rovers with a friend. We aren’t bonded, but we do love to be together. I would really like a doggy friend of a similar size in my forever home. I love to play with squeaky toys. Like, I LOVE to play with squeaky toys. That SOUND they make! I LOVE that sound. I can make it happen with my mouth which makes me feel absolutely magical. Squeaky toys are a must for my forever home. I am crate trained and potty trained. Well, I haven’t had any potty accidents in my foster home because foster mom keeps us on a schedule, which I think definitely counts as potty trained. But keep in mind that I will probably need some reminders and maybe some potty pads for the first week or two in my forever home . If you think I could be the sweet little girl you’ve been looking for, apply to meet me today at bit.ly/RRAdoptionApplication

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.
