My story

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

Libby has become the sweetest, most playful and at times a perfect little couch potato Chihuahua you could ask for despite her past. Libby is 4 years old and weighs 10 pounds. She has had a long and rewarding rescue journey. Libby was taken from a disgusting and cruel breeding situation. There were 70 animals, some deceased, that were confiscated in South Bexar County at the end of July 2023. We received her 3 days after being impounded and Libby gave birth to 5 pups. Only three puppies survived. Despite being physically depleted Libby was an excellent mom for her remaining 3 pups for 9 weeks. When Libby arrived, she was so fearful she belly crawled everywhere and cowered whenever we reached for her. As she became more comfortable, she began playing with and teasing her puppies by running with their toys and rolling them around in their enclosure. After weaning her puppies, she went to a quieter foster home where she has flourished. She has become more social, loving and happy with people. She routinely grabs her toys, tries to engage her foster parents and canine friends to play with her. She sleeps with her fosters and will chill on the couch while watching TV with them. Libby is housebroken. She will need work with leash walking.
Libby is spayed, microchipped, heartworm negative, and fully vaccinated. Her adoption fee is $250. If you would like to meet Libby, please submit an application from www.poquitapawsrescue.org.
