Story
Cutest tushi in town! Hi guys! My name is Tushi and I am a 3 years old, female spayed Chihuahua mix. I am a smallie 18 lbs. I was rescued from Antelope Valley CA from another rescue group who couldnt meet my medical needs. I have seen a ruff life and I am very touch sensitive. My foster family is working on gaining my trust and helping with touch and leash sensitivity. I am so glad that about their understanding and patience, and hope to have a furever family as amazing as they are! I am a sweet girl and my mama says that I look like a furever pupper! I have a sassy sway to my walk and a calmness about me. Due to me being so sensitive, I have mostly focused on decompression. And my love, sunbathing! Even though they cant touch me yet, I do go and cuddle right next to them and give face kisses! I am good around calm dogs who know how to respect my space. Same goes for sweet kids and I am friendly around them. I am not experienced around cats. I would love a sweet and patient family who will adore me! I would appreciate decompression time and will reward you with the most grateful kind of life. I will do well with mellow dogs and a nice yard since I dont go out on the leash. If you think we will be soulmates, let's meet! My adoption fee is $150 and that includes spaying/neutering, shots, and microchip. If you want to take me home, please fill out the form on the website here: https://theanimalpad.org/adoption-application/ ##2259492##
