My story

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

Introducing Angel, the gentle soul with a story as unique as her name.

With her pristine white coat and soulful eyes, Angel is a vision of purity and grace. But behind her delicate appearance lies a spirit that's been through more than her fair share of struggles. Angel is a chihuahua in need of a special and patient home, where she can heal and learn to trust at her own pace.

Angel's past has left her wary of human touch and attention. She prefers to keep her distance, avoiding contact, conversation, and even eye contact. But don't mistake her hesitance for indifference - Angel craves love and affection just like any other dog. However, she has her own unique way of accepting it.

For Angel, love comes in the form of a pepperoni treat. It's the offering of this simple gesture that has helped her begin to open up to the world around her. With time and patience, Angel has warmed up to a staff member, learning to love and trust her in her own way.

But Angel's journey is far from over. She'll need a significant amount of time and understanding to warm up to her new adopters, and she may never fully overcome her fear of touch and interaction. For this reason, Angel should not be around children, as their unpredictable movements and loud noises may only serve to further distress her.

If you're willing to open your heart and home to Angel, you'll be rewarded with the love and loyalty of a truly special companion. With your patience and understanding, Angel may just learn to trust again and find comfort in the warmth of your love.
