My story

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

Everything is possible with a 'Little Bit' of love! Our Little Bit is a senior who came to us with a large hernia. Our wonderful vet removed the hernia and spayed Little Bit. She is slowly warming up in her foster home. The way to Little Bit's heart is through treats.

Little Bit needs a lot of patience and love. She is about 4 pounds which presents some challenges. Like many of us, Little Bit hates going out in the cold. She stands and shakes. She has arthritis and needs supplements and possibly daily medication. She also has to be carried up and down the stairs of her foster home. At 12-14 years old, she is too arthritic to climb. Little Bit is not housebroken and she doesn't care for pee pads unless she is confined to an area with them. Like many dogs her size, she finds strangers scary and often greets them with snaps and lunges. She can adjust to new people with time and patience. Little Bit currently lives with dogs and cats. Due to her small size, a home with small dogs would be best. She'd also be fine as an only pet. Little Bit's ideal home is quiet with family members who will carry her around and treat her like a baby.
