Martha's Info...
| Breed: | Chihuahua Mix | Color: | Black - With Tan, Yellow Or Fawn | Age: | Young |
| Size: | Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less | Sex: | Female | ID#: | 22166 |
Little Martha came all the way up from Virginia just to meet you! This one year old chihuahua came to us with nine of her little friends when they were removed from a hoarding situation. Little Miss Martha was one of the more vocal pups when they first arrived, but that turned out to be just an act, and she is really quite shy and extremely sweet. Once Martha gets to know you, you can hardly stop her from gently climbing up in your lab to snuggle with you. Martha is so very loving and affectionate, and just wants to be held. She does not have much experience with walking on a leash, so she prefers to be carried when going out for a walk. Martha gets along well with other dogs and would enjoy a nice, quiet home with no small children under the age of 12. Please give our young Martha the fresh start in life she is hoping for! 12/23/12 File#22166
