My story

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

Tiny Boss Babe Seeking Lap to Rule!

Guadalupe (“Lupita”) is an 11-month-old8½-pound female believed to be a Chihuahua / JRT / MinPin mix—and she is packed with personality. She is spayed, heartworm negative, up to date on vaccinations, and ready for her forever home.

Lupita is a confident, funny little dog with adorable quirks that will keep you smiling. She is very affectionate and loves being on your lap or carried around—she fully embraces her inner diva. 

She does well with other dogs of all sizes, though she is definitely the dominant dog and prefers companions who respect her leadership. She's definitely a boss babe. She is not a fan of cats and she does enjoy a good chicken chase.

Lupita is very playful with medium energy—she enjoys enthusiastic playtime followed by immediate, contented naps once her person sits down. She may even tell you when it's time for you to sit down! She tends to pick her person and becomes deeply devoted, while politely tolerating others.

She is best suited for a home without young children and would do best with adults or older children who understand dog boundaries.

Lupita is house trained (only a couple accidents when we didn't understand her signals), sleeps quietly through the night snuggled in bed, and does not need (or like) a crate. She is well-behaved when left alone for short periods, but she is still a puppy so there is a need to keep her toy box stuffed so she chews on those things you want her to chew on. She loves toys, especially stuffies with squeakers, and durable chews.

If you’re looking for a small dog with a big personality, strong loyalty, and endless charm, Lupita may be the perfect match.

Guadalupe is a nine month old female rat terrier mix around 8 pounds
