Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This poor little girl was rescued from a terrible hoarding situation. We got a call that there were 40 dogs kept in horrendous conditions which needed immediate rescue. We were able to take 12 of them and we are spaying, neutering and vetting all of them. Many of them are shy and are not used to being loved but we are optimistic that they will blossom in the right foster/forever home.
Effie appears to be a Chihuahua/pug mix. She weighs 12 lbs. and is 4 yrs. old. She is doing very well in foster and has settled down. She sleeps right next to her foster dad on his pillow. She doesn't bark much and loves to stay close to her person at all times. She is a happy go lucky, mellow little lady with no triggers or aggression whatsoever. She's good with other dogs and cats. She'd be great for a retired couple as she is very low maintenance and doesn't need a lot of exercise or stimulation. Her potty training is going great. We don't yet know too much more about her except that she is a total lovebug and very sweet and affectionate. She needs a forever home so she can put her awful past behind her and live the life she was born to live.
