Story
Meet Lourdes, a Chihuahua born approx 11/8/24. Lourdes is your standard high-energy little dog. Happy, alert, friendly, and curious with a touch of naughty. She’s not a yappy dog, but she does like to bark at strangers and noises outside of the house. She LOVES to play! I have another foster, Grenas, that I picked up at the same time as Lourdes. They had never met before, but became instant friends. They cuddle, sleep, and wrestle together like siblings. Lourdes is definitely the dominant one. She’d do great with another dog, but I don’t think she needs one as long as her mama or papa play with her a lot. You could take her anywhere as long as she’s leashed. She won’t run away, but she will drift when you’re not looking. I’ve had her for 2 months and the only aggression she shows is barking. She let me hold her right away. Next to playing, she loves to cuddle. In her downtime, she is super sweet and gentle. When she’s feeling hyper she can really roughhouse. She’s a robust and sturdy little girl. Not delicate like a toy breed. She sleeps with me, has a fenced yard, and does great in the car or on a leash. I haven’t seen her with kids, but I’m almost positive she would be great with them. She’d love their energy. She is still basically a puppy and was found as a stray (I’m guessing she never had a home before rescue) so we are still working on potty training and chewing. If she can’t make it outside on time, she will only go on the puppy pads, so she’s getting there. She only chews stuff when I’m home, so I don’t crate. Mostly just shoes or paper. As long as I put that kind of stuff away before bed, we’re good. She would be fine crated while you’re away from home. She will need some training to be crated without barking while her people are present. She has access to lots of stuff she never touches, so I wouldn’t call her destructive. She just needs to grow out of the puppy phase. Lourdes is smart and treat-motivated. Definitely trainable. Having a little girl like Lourdes around is a natural antidepressant. She adds fun, energy, love, and cuddles everywhere she goes. If your home could use a little more pep and light she’s your dog!
