Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Holly is a 5 year old red/white Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix who weighs 5-6 lbs. This tiny girl is adorable with huge expressive eyes. She has a sweet, gentle nature. She was shy and tentative at first but after she had warmed up to her new surroundings she became a playful, talkative, tomboy who just loves to initiate play and tug of war and general mayhem with the other dogs in her foster home. So we know she needs a couple of days to adjust in any new situation.
She knows SIT and she loves treats and toys and SOCKS! She does not like to be leashed and she is stubborn and feisty despite her tiny size so it's taking a while. She's also a little leery of strangers while leashed. She is housebroken and adores her crate and will sleep in it all night without a peep. Holly loves being held and cuddled. She is such a character. She likes to "talk" and when she wags her tail, her whole butt wags. She also loves baby carrots. Holly is a dominant dog who wants to be in charge, wants to claim her human and the resources in the home (dog bed, couch, bed, but thankfully no toys are loose in the home for now) so the tethering and more strict boundaries right now should help a bit.
Take this girl home with you and you will laugh every day about one or other of her silly antics. She's ready for her forever home right now, please.
