Chica is an affectionate, low-key companion looking for a special home to call her own. She has a sensitive soul and wants nothing more than to be close to her person. Chica is potty trained and generally quite trainable -willing to work for chicken or cheese. She will need a quiet home where she can slowly settle in, snuggle up, and bask in the sun. Interested? Reach out to an adoption counselor today! Chica is a candidate for our Foster-to-Adopt Program – a program custom-designed by staff to support you as this dog is introduced to a new home environment. Ask your adoption counselor how it works!
