Mama Perdita was rescued from a hoarding situation where about 40 dogs were living in filth and neglect. She was very reserved when I got her - it took 2 months to get a tail wag out of her. BUT, she has come so far and is now wiggly and wants to say hi to me. She still doesn't want to cuddle but she is coming out of her shell more and more every day. She has is learning to trust and has a big heart.
She gave birth to her puppies on Sept. 30th and has been a wonderful Mama. At least she didn't have a 101 of them! She actually had 5 but little Scooby passed away so she now has 3 girls and 1 boy. They have all been adopted so it is her turn now.
She gets along great with other dogs, besides her puppies, too and loves to play. She would strive with another friendly, active doggie playmate to show her the ropes and be a friend. She hasn't been tested yet with cats or kids. At first she struggled with potty training due to her previous living situation, but she has improved so much. Now, if you let her out regularly, she will wait and go outside. That doesn't mean she won't need patience and some re-training in a new situation. She is not good on a leash - I don't think she has ever seen one so again, she needs someone with patience. She will be a pro one day! For that reason, a fenced yard would be ideal for her so she can go potty since she would likely be too scared to do so on a leash right now.
This little chihuahua mix deserves a lifetime of love to makeup for the first part of her journey. She is only around 5 years old so there is lots of time to spoil her. She is 11 #s so a pretty small girl. She has recently discovered toys and she loves them! If I give her one, she grabs it and adds it to her little pile in her bed. She also LOVES treats - that is definitely the way to win her heart!
We would like Perdita to get a home within about 6 hours of Waco, Texas. She would not do well on a plane or overnight drives. Her foster Mom is willing to meet or deliver her within that radius.To have your home considered for adoption, read about our adoption process or fees, and find out about interstate transport (dogs only), please visit our website.

❤ Long Way Home makes no guarantees on breed--most animals we receive from shelters are mixed breeds. As long as they need rescue, that's what is most important to us.
