My story

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

Jitterbug (nickname "JB")
6 pound Chihuahua mix (maybe part wolf as she will howl in demand for her food and stuffed prey)
She’s jittery and a little tiny dancer. Though she's a small dog, she's not your typical barky little dog!

She has a slight shake and poor coordination but can walk and feed herself without issue as well as responds well to commands.
The vet team are unsure if her jitters are caused due to infection or if it's hereditary.
Jitterbug is fully functioning but needs assistance going up and down steps and stairs, and sometimes requires a spotter for pooping.

JB is potty trained and crate trained through the night but needs frequent trips to the bathroom during the day, at least every few hours.

JB is *amazing* with other dogs of any shape or size. She wants to play with every dog and everyone she meets. She is very affectionate toward people and has been a great fit cohabitating with another dog.

She is high energy in very short bursts followed by very low energy for longer periods of time. She loves cuddles above everything except food. Food is her first love and outside her passion of wanting to know everyone she encounters outside and sweet potato.
