Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in Albuquerque, New Mexico

Hi, I am Crystal. I am about 6 months old and weigh about 10 # and I seem to still be growing. I was surrendered along with 2 of my sisters without having seen a vet. That has all changed now. I’m getting my shots and will be spayed and chipped before going to my new home. I came from a difficult family situation so giving me up wasn’t my fault. I hadn’t really had any training but I am learning to do my business outdoors and have learned to use a potty pad in the house. I am learning to let you know when I need to go outside. I can be very vocal and will alert you to visitors, those passing by the house, or other activity. I can be very persistent when I want something. I haven’t tried to jump over anything although I can jump straight up about 3 feet when I am excited or want attention. I am working to learn other ways to get attention but jumping is so much fun. Maybe I could learn some tricks if you would teach me. I walk pretty well on a leash although I still need more practice. I gobble up my food quickly and am still learning to leave my sisters alone while they finish eating. I love to wrestle and tumble with my sister, Tina, as we chew on each other and chase each other. She has learned that I am the Alpha in our sib group though. I also love our chew toys and I know my name. I will be ready soon for my new family. Won’t you consider meeting me and see if I can be part of your family?
