Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Darcy is a 6 yr old chihuahua that weighs about 5 lbs, she should weigh about 6 lbs. Her owner died and the family didn't want her so they dumped Darcy at the shelter. While she was there another dog attacked her as you can see from one of the photos. The shelter fixed her wounds and she is healed, but they were overcrowded and afraid to put her back into the general population thinking she might get attacked again.
So the shelter put her on the euthanasia list. When we heard that we couldn't let that happen and so our group rescued her. She is completely healthy with no health issues. She had a blood panel done and had her teeth cleaned. She's great with other dogs, super sweet and friendly. She loves to snuggle and mellow. She would be fine in an apartment setting because she isn't a barker and is house trained.
If you are interested in Darcy, please complete the on-line application as she does not always attend the weekly adoption event on Saturdays at PETCO. You can also contact us for more information.
