Story
Meet Cricket! (Must be adopted with Beetle)
Cricket is a petite, gentle sweetheart with a big heart. Cricket’s favorite things include snuggling, napping and eating her favorite snacks. She regularly stands up on her back legs to ask for a high five or to be picked up, it's her signature and most adorable move! Cricket loves to be held and carried, gazing lovingly into your eyes.
Cricket would love to be adopted with her husband, Beetle, as the two are inseparable and have been together their whole lives. They cuddle, nap, play, wrestle and follow each other everywhere. She even loves to groom the little guy! Being reunited made a world of difference for Cricket and Beetle. Side by side, they are happier, sillier, and more confident. You can find Beetle’s profile also on the website.
Before being rescued, Cricket spent her whole life living outside in a shed with other dogs. She’s embraced indoor living, but the changes can still feel overwhelming, and she may be shy, timid, and shaky around new people and places. She can take extra time to warm up to men, but after only a few days learned to love and trust her foster Dad. Cricket’s doing well with house training but may still have an occasional accident, so her adopters will need to be patient and continue this training. She loves exploring the backyard and is just beginning to learn how to walk on a leash. It’s all brand new to her! Though she can be shy at first, once Crickie warms up, she forms a deep, lasting bond with her people. She’ll become your little shadow and won’t let you forget how much she loves you.
Crickie is getting very comfortable in her crate, though she may whine a bit. Her happiest place is curled up in bed with her foster parents and Beetle. She’s never in a hurry to get up in the mornings.
Like most Chihuahuas, they may be a bit watchful and bark at new visitors or the mail carrier, but they quickly warm up once they know people are friendly.
If you’re searching for a pair of tiny love bugs who bring endless smiles and laughter with their adorable antics, Cricket and Beetle would make perfect companions for you.
