Peep is a 3-year-old, 12-pound Chihuahua/Terrier mix ready for a forever home after raising her puppies.

She is shy at first and needs patience and gentle handling to feel safe. Once comfortable, Peep becomes affectionate and loves staying close to her people.

Her foster mom has helped her gain confidence, and Peep now enjoys cuddling and sleeping nearby. A playful canine companion would continue helping her build confidence.
