Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I am Contessa, a Chihuahua mix. I am just a year old, so I was born 4/12/13. I weigh a whopping 8-9 lbs. I am extremely shy to those I don't know. So be forewarned, you need to let me approach you and that might take a few hours or several days. So you must be patient and not push me or you may get bit. I can not help myself and from what my foster mom has told me that is just a trait of some of us Chihuahua's. So no children need to be in my life at this time. Once I warm up to you I am very loving and playful. I get along with most small dogs and cats however I am frightened of big dogs. I will keep you entertained and protect you if I am given lots of time to acclimate to my new surroundings and not be pushed. My foster mom has lots of smiles and giggles watching me play with my squeaky toys. She calls me and my brother her entertaining duo. My foster mom says there is a special home for me if I am given the chance to blossom with that patient and loving person. HHS dog. ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.
