Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Dog's Name: Cookie
Age / Size: 3 years old / 7 lbs
Rescued in Texas, surrendered by previous owner through no fault of her own

💙 Foster Note
What I love most about Cookie is how deeply she bonds once she feels safe. She follows me everywhere -- and honestly, I don't mind one bit. She's a quiet little soul who asks for very little and gives so much in return. Cookie will make the most devoted companion for the right person. Her quirk? She loves sitting in my lap like she's always belonged there -- because she has.

How do they handle new situations? She can be cautious at first, but warms up with patience and consistency

How are they with people (adults/kids/new people)? Loving with her people; takes time to warm up to newcomers, including gentle kids
How are they with other dogs? Still adjusting -- does best as the only dog for now
