Desi's Story...
Desi - (Male)
Breed: Chihuahua
Age: 8 Years
Weight: 7 Pounds
History: Puppy Mill - Parkersburg
Description: Hello! My name is Desi and I am a purebred Chihuahua and weigh only 7 pounds. I was rescued from a place called a puppy mill. I lived in a cage 24/7. I received little to no socialization so I need alot of patients to understand that people are okay. I just learned what toys are and I LOVE to play with my foster brothers and sisters. My foster mom and her dogs are teaching me what it is like to be a family dog. In time I am sure I will overcome my fear of people and the outdoors, but I am going to need a family to show me lots of patience. I will need a family to continue my socialization, to teach me that I do not need to be so fearful with strangers. I am going to need someone to keep me on a schedule so that I know what to expect and help me get house trained and crate trained. I am looking for a family with older or no children, as the little kids are very noisy and intimidating for a nervous guy like me. I'm hoping my family will have another small dog as they could help show me the ropes. Can you be that family, to help me learn what it is like to be free and live without always being in fear? It may take me time, but I promise once I learn to trust you I will be able to return your love ten fold.
