Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hola friends! I come from Jalisco Mexico. Lots of homeless and unwanted dogs down here but lucky for me I was picked up by a very nice local rescue who provided me with wonderful vet care, all my vaccines, spay/neuter, and even housetrained me, and taught me how to walk on a leash! So, here I was with my adorable pictures on local adoption sites, but it turns out, not a lot of options down here for us to get homes. The local rescue, however, was determined to find us all loving homes and reached out to a few rescues in the US and asked to partner with them. 4 Little Paws stepped up and took 31 of us! I am very excited to be moving to the East Coast in search of a wonderful future and a real forever home!

In the grand tapestry of life, every so often, a thread of pure sweetness is woven in—the kind that's too precious to overlook. Meet Chia, the chocolate charmer, a dainty Chihuahua mix with soulful eyes and a short, sumptuous coat reminiscent of the richest cocoa. At a petite 6 kg (13 lbs), she is the epitome of love in a small package, on a serendipitous quest for a place to call home.
At the lovely age of two, Chia possesses the grace of a seasoned heart, carrying a presence that radiates calm and a spirit that whispers affection. She's a delicate blossom, unfolding her petals of trust one gentle moment at a time. Although somewhat shy when your paths first cross, give her a moment, and Chia will soon seek the warmth of your lap, the tenderness in your voice.
Much like the ancient seed she's named after, Chia is a symbol of endurance and growth; she’s nurturing her skills one day at a time. With the patience of a saint, she's mastering the art of the leash, taking each stride with a mix of thoughtful caution and newfound curiosity—progressing one heartening step after another.
Her voice is seldom heard, for like the most enlightened of souls, she finds no need to disturb the silence. When she does speak, it's with meaning and intent—a melodic testament to her composed nature and an assurance that she's every inch the companion who will never add to the chaos of a hectic day.
Chia's independent streak gives her a charmingly self-sufficient aura. She revels in her moments of solitude without losing the desire to be near those she cherishes. Agile among her canine and feline compatriots, she navigates her interspecies friendships with a peaceful coexistence that gives her the unique ability to fit right into a household's existing dynamic.
Embrace the chance to be the guardian of a creature so singularly enchanting. Let Chia, the sweet soul cloaked in chocolate fur, be the small wonder that brings boundless love into your life. In her company, every day is a revelation, each cuddle a treasure, and through her eyes, you'll see the world anew. Could you be the hero of Chia's story, offering her the forever home where her tender heart can truly flourish?
