My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

1/25/18 My pal, Brownie, is in his forever home and now it's my time. Since Brownie left I'm more lovable and active. I love to race around outside checking everything out. Except for my neck, which is always bent down, I'm in great health. I had a mild case of heart worms when I was first rescued, but they are all gone. I have this menacing growl, but that's it I just growl. I still have moments when I'm afraid, but with patience and love I can be the best Chihuahua anyone has ever seen.


I've had a very difficult life up to now. You see I was discovered by animal control up in North GA. along with many other Chihuahua's in a house that was condemned. Me and Brownie found our way to Act2Pups and it was weeks before we trusted. My first reaction was to hunker down and shiver and bite if someone came too close. Little by little I have learned to trust and now I'm on my way to a better life. I'm good with other dogs. I'm approx 10 years old. I've not been around cats. The vet said I am very healthy for the conditions I was found in. I sure would love to find a quiet home that understands the breed and will keep me safe. I will reward you with lots of kisses and years of companionship.
