My story

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

Lia is a fawn/white Chihuahua mix. She's around 9 years old and 12 lbs. She's spayed, heartworm negative, and up-to-date on vaccines and monthly preventatives.

Read her full profile and submit an adoption application on our website:
https://www.fawnssmalldogrescue.org/adoptable-dogs/lia

Lia's profile highlights:
- She's an affectionate and independent lady
- Good with dogs big/small, requires 1+ dogs
- Kid friendly, dog-savvy kids 8+ years and older.
- Doing great with house and potty training
- Yard optional, does well on a leash

When Lia arrived she was nervous and under-socialized, especially with other dogs. She initially showed some anxiety, likely transition related. At first, she preferred to supervise her new humans closely. Now that she's settled in, she loves to be around her humans but prefers independent activities; like playing with her foster siblings.

Lia is now a toy and playtime enthusiast - she's even started to play fetch! She adores other dogs of all sizes and she's particularly bonded with her Labrador foster sibling. She also enjoys her foster Chihuahua sister. Her new home must have one or more other dogs to continue her socializing success.

Lia picks a primary person and has resource guarding tendencies when it comes to other dogs. She's done well receiving corrections and she's doing much better. She's thriving thanks to the love and support of her family and pack.

Lia's ideal home must include one or more playful dogs to reduce her anxiety and continue her socializing success. She prefers people who are home often who can take her on walks or take her sunbathing in the park or a yard. She can live with respectful, dog-savvy kids 8+ years or older. Lia does well on a leash and doesn't require a fenced yard. Upon arrival, we were told that Lia doesn't like cats.
