Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

🐶 Basics
• Dog’s Name (include nicknames – we know you have them!): Bijou
• Age / Size: 6-10 years/8lb

💙 Foster Note

Bijou has only been with me for a couple days, but she has already shown herself to be an extraordinarily affectionate and loyal dog. She is shy at first, but will constantly ask for belly rubs, once she is comfortable with you and will want to sit in your lap.

She is food-motivated and loves treats. She also enjoys chew toys and snuggling. She is pee-pad trained, but has a tendency to hold it in all day, so will need lots of encouragement and treats. She would do best in a women-only, adult-only home with a family who has a lot of love and patience!

💛 Personality Snapshot
• Describe in 3–5 words: cuddly, shy, calm
• Energy level (Low / Moderate / High): low
• More people‑oriented or independent? People-oriented
• How do they handle new situations? She is shy and needs slow introductions; seems to have lived indoors her whole life

🌞 Daily Life
• Typical day with you: wake up, breakfast, sleep/relax most of the day, lots of belly rubs!
• Exercise needs: she is a very calm dog, city noises scare her at the moment so we are working on building confidence outside
• Favorite activities or toys: plush or chew toys

Also, we have a very high volume of applications and we are all volunteers. We cannot respond to every application personally. Please make sure your application gives us a good picture of your family and the life you plan on providing a dog from our rescue. We choose a home based on the BEST FIT for EACH dog and approve on a dog by dog basis. Thank you!
