Playing, running, chasing, being with my humans, playing, wagging my tail, playing, and going on lots of walks.Dislikes?Kitties (why do people have those fluffy things), sitting still, not playing, and not laying on top of my hooman!What's my perfect date?Anything fun that I get to do with my HOOMAN! Are you Todd's new best friend? Todd would really like a new home that is PIT BULL SAVVY and will give him the attention and exercise he craves. This big meatball needs a Hooman who will continue to work on his leash training and provide him with a job that will occupy his time... even if its just learning obedience commands. He wants someone consistent who will give him the exercise he needs.

Chihuahua Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Anndalina 11 YEARS OLD. Chi mix. black with white, no kids, no cats, okay with some dogs, basics of potty training. Needs fenced in yard and no apartments. Anndalina came to us as an emergency surrender. This poor girl was trying to chew her tail off and needed emergency treatment. We rushed her into our vet and it was determined her tail would need to be amputated to prevent any infection from spreading. We whisked her into surgery and brought her back to one of our foster homes. Anndalina has had a rough beginning to her life and she will need a patient and understanding home to help her become the dog we know she can be. We would recommend she go to a child free home and a home where her Chihuahua bark will not be a problem. A nice quiet couple or single person would be the ideal place for her as she can become overwhelmed with too many visitors. Once she bonds to her people she is very affectionate but it will take a while for this nervous girl to settle into any new home and she will need to be given time to calm and adjust.Please note we do not have a central kennel facility, all of our pets are located in foster homes.
