Here's what the humans have to say about me:
So I was sitting on death row at the Laredo Animal Shelter in Texas, scheduled to be euthanized for “aggressive” behavior when a lady with brains took a look at me and realized I was a bit banged up and my eye was badly wounded and I was probably in severe pain. She takes me out and takes me to her vet and it turns out she was right. I’m a sweet little lady and I almost lost my life because nobody at the shelter noticed!
My name is Nana and I am a 6-year-old, 9 lb Chihuahua mix with a calm demeanor, and an easygoing attitude, currently staying in a foster home, and my eye is looking so much better with daily drops. The vet suspects I was beaten but I’m not holding it against anyone. I am friendly with people and other dogs and I am in love with doggy toys. Chew toys, squeaky toys, or stuffed toys, I’ll drag them around and keep them on my doggy bed so I can lounge around and play at the same time. I’m adorable. I am affectionate, and love snuggles and pets and I rarely bark. I love going for walks and I won't complain if we need to take a ride in the car. I don't dig in the yard or chew your belongings, and I already use a potty pad while working on some housebreaking skills. My foster mom has been having fun dressing me up and says I escaped euthanasia and endured so much that I deserve to be pampered and spoiled. I’m not disagreeing with her but mostly I just want love, safety, and a big bunch of doggy toys. Next up, I’m moving to Connecticut and hear many wonderful families on the East Coast would be happy to have a sweet little dog like me, so I can't wait to meet them and get my life started!
* 4 Little Paws is based in CT. We adopt in many different states along the East Coast. Transport costs are included in the adoption fee. If you are located outside the states we typically adopt to, we have options to get the dog of your dreams to your location.
