Story
Meet Joy! Breed: Chihuahua Birthday: May 2, 2024 Weight: 6 Pounds Health: Healthy, vaccinated, and spayed — though she’s in wonderful condition, please make sure to visit your own veterinarian soon after adoption to establish care and keep her feeling her best! Personality True to her name, Joy is a tiny burst of sunshine! She’s the perfect blend of classic Chihuahua sass and loyal affection. Joy loves to prance around proudly, explore every cozy blanket in the house, and snuggle into your lap when it’s time to rest. She’s alert, curious, and loves being the center of attention — but most of all, she loves her people deeply and shows it with endless tail wags and soft kisses. This little girl is small in size but huge in heart! Breed Info Chihuahuas are one of the world’s smallest dog breeds, usually weighing 4–7 pounds, but their personalities are larger than life! They’re known for their intelligence, loyalty, and bravery — they’ll stand guard like a big dog in a tiny body. Chihuahuas are affectionate and thrive in homes where they can be part of everyday life — whether that’s sitting on your lap, following you from room to room, or snuggling under a blanket beside you. Owner Responsibilities Owning a Chihuahua like Joy means being her trusted person for life: Provide warmth, love, and gentle structure — she thrives on routine and attention. Feed her high-quality food and maintain regular vet care. Offer safe playtime and light walks suited for her small frame. Protect her from cold weather — tiny pups like Joy need cozy sweaters and soft bedding! Keep up with grooming, nail trims, and dental care. Things to Consider Before adopting Joy, please take time to think through everything: Do you have enough time each day for love, play, and bonding? Does your landlord or HOA allow dogs? Can you commit to lifelong vet care, food, toys, and grooming? Are you in a stable home where Joy won’t have to face uncertainty? Are you ready for a loyal companion who wants to be by your side always? ❤️ Adoption is forever — please be sure you can give her a lifetime of love, patience, and care. The 3-3-3 Rule Adopting a rescue means giving them time to settle in and trust again: First 3 days: Everything is new and maybe a little scary — give her space, comfort, and calm reassurance. First 3 weeks: She’ll start to learn your home, your routine, and your heart. First 3 months: She’ll truly open up — that’s when she’ll know she’s safe, loved, and finally home. ❤️ Why Joy Would Be a Great Addition Joy is the kind of dog who fills your days with laughter and your heart with warmth. She’s loyal, affectionate, and endlessly loving — a perfect companion for anyone who wants a little shadow by their side. Her sweet nature and spunky spirit make her wonderful for families, singles, or seniors looking for a true friend. When you adopt Joy, you’re not just rescuing a dog — you’re gaining a devoted companion who will bring light, love, and “joy” into every corner of your life.
