Micki - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Derry, New Hampshire

All interested people should submit an adoption application as their first step.
Meet Micki: Tiny Dog. HUGE Opinions.

Micki is a 9-pound Chihuahua who has carefully reviewed the human population and has decided that women are excellent and men are... questionable.

She absolutely ADORES her foster mom and has appointed herself her personal, four-legged shadow. Wherever Mom goes, Micki goes. Bathroom? She’s coming. Kitchen? Obviously. Couch? Already there. Privacy? Never heard of her. She is basically Velcro with ears.

Once she’s attached herself to her favorite person, Micki is incredibly cuddly and affectionate. She loves snuggling and being close, and honestly, she would probably prefer to spend most of her day glued to your lap.

But don’t let all that cuddling fool you—Micki is also a fun little social butterfly when it comes to other dogs! Big dogs? Fine. Little dogs? Fine. She enjoys playing with everyone and doesn’t seem particularly concerned about their size. Apparently, she has no problem being brave when there are four legs involved.

Now, Micki does have one tiny little complaint about modern life: being left alone. She is not a fan. When her people leave, she may cry and bark for a bit because clearly their absence is a personal betrayal of the highest order. The good news is that she is not destructive. She simply has a brief dramatic episode, expresses her displeasure vocally, and eventually settles down.

Micki appears to be mostly housebroken, which is another point in her favor because she has already mastered several important adulting skills.

So, if you’re a woman looking for a tiny best friend who will follow you everywhere, snuggle like her life depends on it, play with the neighborhood dogs, and occasionally make sure you understand exactly how disappointed she is when you leave the house...

Micki would like to meet you.

Men need not apply.
(Okay, maybe eventually. But Micki reserves the right to be suspicious.)
