Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Edwards, Illinois

Meet Leita
This tiny 10lb sweetheart is ready to find her people! At just 1 year old, Leita is full of personality and love-especially if you've got a cozy lap and a soft blanket waiting for her.
The details:
Chihuahua, 1 year old, ~10 lbs
Loves kids
Dog friendly
Very curious about cats (will need a dog-savvy cat)
Kennel trained with no accidents (but would much rather be with you!)
Still fine-tuning house training
Not leash trained yet-she prefers to be carried like the little queen she is
Leita isn't a constant barker, but she will let you know when she has opinions-especially if she feels she's spent enough time in her kennel
At night, she'll sleep in her kennel... but if you let her, she'd happily snuggle up in bed instead. Blankets + cuddles are her love language.

If you're looking for a tiny best friend with a little sass and a lot of love, Leita might just be it. Apply at www.fosterpetoutreach.org

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
