My story

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

Hello, gentle people!
I am Mama! Blackie and I are a pair of chihuahua mixes, and I was born approximately 10/28/2014. We have both lived inside of a house our whole lives so the nice people at Safe Haven let Blackie and me go live with a foster dad! He has other small dogs, and we get along really well. Blackie and I are not, however, quite sure what to make of our other housemate, a kitty cat. We like to chase the kitty cat and bark at her sometimes, but our foster dad is trying to convince us to be friends with her. We're still thinking about it! ?? We are wishing so hard for a new family with warm laps to cuddle in and a nice little yard with sunny spots to lounge in. I have all of my shots, I am spayed, I am microchipped, and I am house trained! Do you have any extra room in your heart to love a cute little old lady furever and ever?
Peace, love, and tail wags,
Mama

Note: Mama has been diagnosed with heart disease and is taking prescription medication.
