Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi, I'm Danicka. I am a 1.5 year old 11lb chihuahua mix. I have been through a lot in my short life. I was adopted from the shelter after being there for a while and my new family had a young son. He loved me but he loved me a little too hard. He would cuddle and squeeze me until I squealed in pain or he would pick me up and then drop me on the hard floor, but I never once hurt him. My foster mom took me in when my other family felt bad for hurting me and didn't want to take me back to that cold shelter. I just want to love and be loved. I cuddle in your arms if you let me and my favorite is to curl up on the couch and watch shows with you while you gently stroke my ears. I am super loyal and warm up quickly to friendly faces. I am good with other dogs and children. My foster mom even has a new baby and he loves my little tongue kisses. I am potty trained (although I did have one accident in my foster mom's house when I first arrived but have since figured out where the outside is) and I am crate trained so I will happily wait for you to get home while I am in my crate...I even like to sleep in my crate at night. I would prefer to sleep in bed with you but if you give me love and cuddles I will sleep wherever you want me to. I am very sweet and just need the right forever family to scoop me up so we can be friends for the rest of my life. If you'd like to know more about me contact my foster mom at 702-340-1191. I am located in Las Vegas.
