My story

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

🐾 Meet Salsa!
Chihuahua Mix • Pocket Diva • Wiggle Queen

Born on June 18, 2025, Salsa may be tiny and adorable — but don’t let her size fool you. This girl brings big personality everywhere she goes. She’s microchipped, fully vetted, and up to date on all age-appropriate vaccines, and will grow into a small-sized dog with maximum sass and sweetness.

Salsa is well-socialized, great with dogs and kids, and has perfected the art of balancing drama and charm. She’s the kind of pup who will:
*Love loudly and nap quietly (a talent, truly).
*Turn every walk into a red-carpet moment — every sidewalk is her runway.
*Wiggle like a metronome on espresso — she has rhythm in her soul and joy in her tail.

Friendly and full of flair, Salsa is now ready for her forever family — one that appreciates a dog with sparkle, heart, and a little extra wiggle. Is she your new star? 💙
