Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Boo is a 4 year old, female, smooth haired Chihuahua who is full size at just 8 pounds. She came to us with after her owner was no longer to stay in their home. Boo had a hard time adjusting in the beginning but is getting more comfortable everyday. She especially loves men and gravitates towards them first before women. While she has warmed up to her foster mom, she is definitely a daddy's girl in her foster home. Boo is a very typical Chihuahua, she is a homebody and has an attitude at times. She isn't bothered at all by other dogs, big or small, but can get jealous of her owner's attention. She also prefers to curl up on a dog bed or blanket than play with any of the other dogs. Boo is pee pad trained but is new to house training. She had never been outside before now and is still building up the courage to try something new. Boo would do best in a home with someone who is retired or home most of the time and is familiar with Chihuahua's. She will also need someone who understands that new places can be scary so she will be nervous and need time to decompress in another new home. You're welcome to email the foster home with any questions at julianshumate@gmail.com. To meet or adopt Boo you must first fill out an application here: https://humanesocietyofwilkes.org/adopt/application/julians. To ensure your application was received, please email the foster home. You can expect an email response within a week of applying.
