Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in Boonton, New Jersey

Lucy was surrendered to NorthStar when her owner could no longer care for her dogs. Although she is 8 years old, Lucy is in good health, energetic and house-trained. She is a good listener who loves long walks and car rides. She is currently up to date on her shots, but is due for several vaccines in May - we'll ensure she receives those.

Lucy has lived with another dog and is currently in temporary foster with a Lab and Golden Retriever. On walks she may bark at other dogs out of curiosity. She's not aggressive, just loud.

Lucy has a notable prey drive and will try to chase squirrels, birds, and deer. However, she was recently cat-tested while staying with a cat owner for two weeks, and she did not bother the resident cat.

Lucy is crate trained and enjoys spending time in her individual crate even when given free roam of the house. Lucy is more submissive than her housemates. Overall, she is a very sweet senior girl just looking for a new place to hang her leash!

If you are interested in meeting Lucy, please complete an adoption application at www.northstarpets.org and ask for her by name!
