Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Derby is a typical Chihuahua with a tiny body and big personality. She takes time to warm up and trust but after that she will follow you everywhere. She does great with the 4 resident dogs but mainly hangs out with the humans in the house. Did I mention she is absolutely adorable? She is potty pad trained and working on going outside. Derby prefers no kids under the age of 12.
Derby is estimated to be five years old and 8 lbs. Since we don’t know the dog’s actual genetics, this is just a guess on breed and size when grown. All dogs have had a vet examination, are up to date on all vaccinations, have been given dewormer and heartworm prevention. Dogs over 7 months have been heartworm tested. If you are interested in meeting this dog please complete the adoption application on our website at http://www.safehandsrescue.org under Adopt and then we can contact you about setting up a meeting.
