My story

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

Hello humans in the Northeast, I am a pretty little 1-year-old MinPin/Chihuahua mix weighing only 10 lbs and I have already had 2 litters of puppies. Sadly I was owned by a backyard breeder in Mission Texas and had I not been rescued so quickly, I would have been in for a long life of misery living in a crate without love or affection, playtime, walks to the park, you name it. Thankfully neighbors complained and the city shut it down so now I am living in a foster home in San Antonio, adjusting to a new way of life, a bit overwhelmed and shy at first, but change is scary, even if it's a good change. These days I’m doing better, happily blossoming as my foster mom and I are discovering I am really a “lovebug” in disguise. :-)

I am a very sweet girl, still a bit shy at first, but now I’m understanding how lovey life and humans can be. I’m playful and friendly with other dogs, and gaining confidence daily. I am starting to enjoy doggy toys, snuggles, and kisses, and will happily walk on a leash with a bit of encouragement. I am already housebroken and I’m a calm little lady, enjoying my freedom, my people, cozy dog beds, and sleeping beside you at night if allowed. There is a rescue dog transport van heading to Connecticut this week and I’m looking for a wonderful future!

* 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.
