Rest assured, Nina is up to date on all her vaccinations and is microchipped, ensuring her safety and well-being.

Story
Meet Salsa, a resilient and spunky female Chihuahua mix, born approximately in February 2022. She was discovered in March 2023, huddled with eight other Chihuahua mixes in an abandoned movie theater. Salsa, though petite and pretty with her white coat, carries the scars of her past, making it challenging for her to trust humans fully. Salsa has undergone some rehabilitation, where our dedicated caregivers worked diligently to help her overcome her fear and anxiety. She is now ready for adoption. She has received all necessary vaccinations and has been microchipped for her safety. Salsa's journey is a testament to her resilience and the commitment of those caring for her. In time, with patience and love from her potential adopter, she hopes to find a forever home where she can blossom into the loving and trusting companion she has the potential to be.
