Hi, I’m Dove — a 2-year-old chihuahua mix, professional cuddler, part-time diva, and full-time velcro dog. ✨ Let’s get this out of the way: I love women. Like… really love women. If you’re a lady, congratulations — you are now my favorite person. I will follow you everywhere, sit on your lap, stare lovingly into your soul, and basically glue myself to your side. That’s just who I am. Men? Well… I’m working on it. When I first arrived at my foster home, I said “Absolutely not, sir” to every guy I met. But after a week, I’m finally starting to warm up to the men in my life. Slow and steady, people. Slow and steady. I’m a social butterfly with humans (especially the girls), but when it comes to dogs… um… let’s just say I have opinions. I currently live with three dogs of all shapes and sizes, and I make sure every new dog knows I’m the boss. Yes, I show my teeth. Yes, I growl. Yes, there may be a tiny snap. But don’t worry — I’m all bark at the beginning. Because guess what? After a few days, I start to soften. And after a week? I’m actually playing with them! I guess you could say I play hard to get and make other dogs work for my affection. A lady has standards, okay? I’d absolutely thrive as an only dog since humans are my true love, but sharing a home with other dogs isn’t a dealbreaker — I just need a little time to remind them who runs the show. I am housebroken, but I have a confession… I do not appreciate the cold, snowy New Hampshire weather. I’m a little girl with little legs, and I don’t do blizzards. So sometimes, to avoid going outside, I… may do my business indoors. Look, I’m delicate! If you’re looking for a loyal, snuggly, dramatic, tiny queen who will adore you (especially if you’re a woman), then I’m your girl. I’ve got a big personality in a tiny package, and my heart is just waiting for my forever person.
