Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Sunset! Sunset is a 4 year old Chihuahua maybe whippet or miniature greyhound mix. Sunset is a very special little girl. She came from a home where people were mean to her. She was so skinny that the vet wouldn't spay her until after she gained some weight. She was shy and insecure but she didn't let that stop her from being the most loving affectionate well behaved little girl. Sunset is at the top of my list of the best dogs that have ever come into my home. She is not a barker, is doggie door trained, walks great on a leash, gets along with other dogs and listens really well. Watching sunset run is one of the my favorite things. Her back legs are a little bit longer than her front so when she's running she looks like she's kind of hopping. It's the cutest thing ever! She never gets too far ahead of me and always watches for me to make sure I'm behind her. Sunset has had a crappy life before she got here. She was very insecure and jumped at loud noises. She's gotten over most of that but if your tone of voice sounds angry or harsh she will cower or hide under something. She's getting used to loud noises but a calm household would be best for her with no young children. She's very sensitive and pays attention to her surroundings and your tone. All this little girl wants is love and she really deserves to find a loving family that will treat her with respect and give her tons of love. If you'd like more information about this perfect little girl you can call or text her foster mom at 443-248-4740.
