Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Hi there, I am a pretty little 3-year-old, 9 lb long-haired Chihuahua mix with a lovely soft golden coat and a resilient spirit. It was just 2 days before I delivered my litter of 3 beautiful puppies when I was tossed over someone's fence in Von Ormy Texas. Yikes! What started as a very scary and stressful situation became a blessing in disguise. That fence belonged to a very nice lady who fosters dogs for 4 Little Paws Rescue, so she immediately had a room prepped for the big day and I’ve never looked back. Not to toot my own horn, but I am an amazing mom, loving and gentle, and that's just my nature. I am friendly with people young and old, friendly with other dogs once we have had a proper introduction, and kitty cats… well I don't bother them because they scare me, so I avoid them. I am playful and happy and I love the outdoors, love going for walks wearing a leash and harness, love doggy treats and mealtime, and BONUS, I’m housebroken and know how to use a doggy door. I’m affectionate and snuggly, make a wonderful TV buddy cozied up beside you on the sofa, and a sleeping buddy beside you in bed if allowed. I will bark to alert you to stuff, and I do not mind going for a ride in the car. My “mom” duties are complete, I’m spayed, chipped, vaccinated, and ready to find a wonderful life and a wonderful forever home next week when I move to Connecticut!
