Dinah - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Chehalis, Washington

Take me home today!
I was brought in as a stray, with my best friend Elsie. We were not claimed and are now looking for a new home! I am a very sweet girl, but I can be a bit timid at first. Once I realize you are safe, all I want is to be held and carried around like a princess. I am estimated to be around 7-8 years old and am a Chihuahua weighing 4.6lbs. I am looking for a special home for me and my friend. We are extremely bonded and hate being apart from each other. When I arrived at the shelter, staff noticed I was having an issue with one of my legs. I took a trip down to the vet and had X-rays done. It was determined I either have a birth defect or had a broken leg as a puppy and it healed wrong. I walk a little funny and carry my leg most of the time. I will need a home that understands my condition and will be willing to accommodate to my needs. I appear to be potty trained, and I do not seem to mind the other dogs. I had brief contact with the vet kitties and did not seem interested in them. I would be best suited for a home with no kids. Ideally a person who is retired or works from home is what I am looking for. I am already spayed, vaccinated and microchipped, now ready to find Elsie and I's new loving home!
