FOSTER TO ADOPT ORCHID
3 yrs - 10 lb - Chihuahua/terrier mix
Orchid is looking for a very special person to be her one and only. She seems to have had a very stressful past as she is extremely timid and sometimes defensive. She is a super sweet girl who wants to please her person more than anything. She is very food motivated and loves a good couch cuddle, especially if she can be under the covers!
Orchid needs a SINGLE PERSON HOME with low traffic. Once Orchid picks her #1 person, other humans in the home make her nervous and she gets overly protective. She is currently in a single human foster home with 3 small dogs. She is either crated or given her own room when other people are in the house. She does well meeting new people on a leash outside in front of the house and out in public. At adoption events or walks around town she let's everyone say hello and pet her. It's really only inside her home where she gets defensive.
Orchid gets along with the other small dogs in her foster home. She definitely takes cues from the more confident dogs. Like the other resident Chihuahuas, she takes pride in her neighborhood watch program...from the safety of the back gate. Every day she saves her yard from kids riding bikes in the alley and neighbors who dare to mow the lawn.
If you are interested in giving Orchid a shot at forever, fill out a foster application and mention fostering Orchid.
