Story
Meet Agatha Lily!
Nickname: Aggie, The Queen of Snacks
Breed: Chihuahua mixed with Terrier
Rescue: Albert's Dog Lounge
Age: senior
Weight: 8 pounds
Fun fact: I am a food connoisseur and I will try ANYTHING once. Also, I might judge your cooking, so make it good!
Did you know: I had a human who loved me but they passed away
Foster home: Madison, WI
Home state: Oklahoma. I bark with a southern twang.
Activity level: Low. Us southern belles are used to spending our days on the verandah enjoying the nature...... not hiking, walking, or backpacking in it.
Friendly with: people, dogs, kids. Because I am just tiny, a home with only older, respectful children would be wonderful.... and calmer dogs too. I don't want to get stepped on!
Sleep style: I currently sleep on a dog bed in my crate.
Meals: 4 oz of Halo canned food 2x a day. I love cheese, peas, and soft treats
Snore-o-meter: 2. Ladies don't snore, we make sweet, breathy noises
Bark-o-meter: 1. Ladies don't raise their voices indoors
Shedding meter: 2. Brust and style my beautiful hair, please
Fashion: a large sunflower bow on my collar
Signature color: Cheery sunflower yellow! It really pops against my fur!
Walk out song: One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful"
Favorite season: Summer, so I can spend my days sunbathing
Personality: Sweet, shy, quiet, happy
Best feature: My stunning hair.
Signature move: Being able to nap through literally ANYTHING
Loves: Food (can I please help taste test dinner?), Lazy Sunday, hanging out on the dog bed, walkies, soaking up the sun
Bucket list: landing the lead in the revival of Gone With The Wind, finding my forever home, becoming a world-famous hair model, pontoon boat rides, a visit with Santa next year, taste-testing dinner at my new home
Agatha does have some vision loss, that makes it difficult to go down stairs. She can easily get around and doesn't have any issues getting back upstairs. She is on eye ointment that she sits like a lady for, as well as meds for her arthritis, which runs about $30 a month.
She will tell you when she has to go outside, but if you aren't paying enough attention, or you are not a home, she will avail herself of a potty pad also.
