Cotton - Chihuahua and Terrier Dog for Adoption in Fayetteville, Georgia

Meet Cotton!

Cotton is a tiny 12-13-week-old Chihuahua mix with a brave little heart, a curious mind and an impressive talent for turning just about anything into an adventure!

Her mom is a wirehaired Chihuahua mix and her dad is a longhaired Chihuahua mix. Cotton is currently only about 5 pounds and is expected to stay petite, likely around 12-15 pounds or less when fully grown.

Of the sisters, Cotton is definitely the little explorer! She's eager to meet people, loves other dogs and is much more willing to jump right into a new adventure. While her sisters may need a little encouragement around bigger dogs, Cotton is ready to make friends.

But this brave little girl has a soft side, too. After she's finished exploring and playing, Cotton loves curling up next to her person for a cozy puppy nap. She gives the sweetest kisses and is already learning that "no" means no.

Cotton sleeps through the night in her crate but is still working on potty training. Like her siblings, she can be frightened by loud noises such as thunderstorms and garbage trucks.

She hasn't been around cats or young children yet, so we think older, respectful children would be the best fit. With proper introductions, we believe she could learn to adapt to a cat.

Cotton may be tiny, but she's got confidence, curiosity and plenty of personality packed into those five little pounds!
