My story

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

Fern is a typical spicy, saucy Chihuahua girly.
That being said, Please do not even bother applying unless you are AN EXPERIENCED CHIHUAHUA PERSON.
NO CHILDREN for this girl.
She's been through some sort of trauma and needs calm.
Fern must have another small playful dog, preferably another small playful Chihuahua, in the home because she's very playful with other dogs.
She is more a dog's dog than a person's dog.
And if you are a Chihuahua lover, you know exactly what that means.
She will tolerate just so much loving and that's enough.
She's potty trained to go outside, but the Foster Mom said she's sure she uses to pee pads when she's not there, like her others do.
She MUST be closely supervised outside because she is very small and would be predator bait.
She's in an apartment now, so she'd be fine for apartment living.
Leash walking? Pfft she's a designer purse pup!
But yes, I'm sure she'd be ok with it if trained, but the Foster has a tiny little fenced area around her patio for her dogs and that's what she prefers.
She actually is very cat friendly also! As long as the cats are dog friendly.
