My story

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

Chickalita is a tiny, sweet Terrier Maltese mix puppy who gets around on just 3 legs.

She was from a home in Bakersfield who didn't fix their dogs which led to several accidental litters. Overwhelmed, the family reached out to us for help. Now that her mama and most of her siblings have found their forever homes, it’s Chickalita’s turn to find a family to love her and call her own.

At just 7 months old and 7 lbs, Chickalita is a curious and affectionate little girl. She's a bit shy at first, but once she feels safe, her playful and silly personality shines through. She gets along great with kids and other dogs, loves to snuggle, and is always ready for some love. Chickalita is also comfortable using the doggy door, enjoys hopping onto the couch for some cuddles, and has a blast wrestling and playing with her foster doggie friends.

Chickalita has a birth defect in her front leg, but it doesn’t slow her down one bit. She does everything a typical puppy does and enjoys life to the fullest.

Chickalita is looking for a patient, loving home that will give her the time she needs to feel confident. In return, she’ll give endless kisses, sweetness, and snuggles.

Spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped Chickalita waiting for someone to fall in love with her!
