Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Introducing Chiquita!
Meet this adorable little 6-year-old sweetheart weighing just 10 lbs, who is eagerly searching for her forever home. ❤ Despite facing some challenges over the past year, Chiquita's resilience, sweetness, and loyalty shine through!
Previously, Chiquita lived with her owners until she experienced a traumatic incident, being attacked by a neighbor's dog. Fortunately, Valley Dogs Rescue stepped in to provide the necessary surgery to mend her injuries. She underwent a procedure to repair the bite wounds on her leg and backend, as well as a specialized surgery called "FHO" (Femoral Head Ostectomy) to address her hip.
During the recovery process, her owners decided to surrender her, feeling they couldn't offer the proper care she deserved. However, Chiquita is now fully recovered and holds an incredible spirit. She fearlessly engages with her foster brothers and sisters, often seeking playtime with them.
Chiquita exhibits unwavering loyalty to her humans, enjoying the company of her caregivers and finding comfort in resting close to them. Ideally, she would thrive in a semi-quiet home with other small dogs, and while her compatibility with cats is uncertain, she may get along well with them too. Given her small size, she would be best suited for homes with older kids.
Rest assured, Chiquita is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all her vaccines, ready to become a beloved member of a caring family.
If you're interested in meeting Chiquita and offering her the loving home she deserves, please contact Paula at spwheels1@gmail.com to schedule a meet and greet.
