I'm a 2 year old, 12lbs., spayed female Terrier mix, who has very luxurious hair that will need to be maintained daily and weekly.

If you are looking for a shyer lady that would love a guiding hand to truly blossom, then please ask to meet me.

Story

AVAILABLE BY APPOINTMENT ONLY Hello all you beautiful people, my name is Coco Chanel! I am an absolutely fabulous one year old, 8 pound, spayed female terrier mix. As my name would suggest I like the better things in life, like being carried about so my delicate feet don't have to touch the ground and of course snuggling in some fancy attire with my favorite human. I love spending time with all the volunteers here at the shelter and would make a great companion but I do prefer people to other dogs as sometimes their fun and game can be a bit too much for me.
