Martha - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Foster, Rhode Island

Martha is a tiny chihuahua with legs for days. Part greyhound? Possibly. Martha is only estimated to be around 7 years old and she weighs 8lbs.

Martha originally came from Houston, TX where she had been found as a stray. It's believed that she may have been hit by a car at some point in the past, but she doesn't show any mobility issues. Martha was spayed and had 2 mammary tumors removed recently. One mass was a carcinoma grade I (low grade), tubulopapillary, complex, narrowly excised. Chest X-rays were clear so it's recommended to monitor the site for any new growth.

Martha is a shy girl who enjoys being part of a crowd but not the center of attention. She's been great with all the dogs and is sweet with humans with some time. She will run away if you try to pick her up, but will try to jump on your lap if you're sitting down. She is very quiet and independent.

Martha is spayed, up to date on vaccines, recently had full blood work, and received a pro-heart 12.
