Fifi - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Albuquerque, New Mexico

I am a partly hairless little Chi they call Fifi. My family surrendered me because they had to move and I could not go with them. Although I am thin, I weigh about 8# and the doctor says Ill probably always be thin like I am now. They think I was born in 2022 so Im about 4 years old. I have been timid and shy while in care; but I have also had days where I welcomed playing and running with the other littles in the foster home. I like having my crate with blankets that I can curl up in as well as a blanket over part of the crate to make a secluded place for me to rest. I come and go from it as I choose and sometimes I change crates during the night. I will do my business outside if you get me out in time. However, I will also do business inside at times so I still need help with potty training. We are beginning to work on pee pad training. I dont really like a leash as I prefer to be carried if you want me to go somewhere with you. Toys and treats dont interest me; but I do like being held and snuggled. We are still experimenting to find just the right food that I like. After my dental is done, that may become easier as right now I really cant chew hard pieces or pieces larger than a pea. Sometimes I like being around the other dogs and sometimes I just want to rest quietly by myself. I definitely prefer when the home is quiet and calm. Being an only fur baby in the home might be just the right ticket for me. In time, I think Ill feel more confident and courageous if you can just be patient with me as I still try to adjust to life away from the family I knew. Right now its just hard to know who I can trust. Are you someone who can help me with this?
