DESCRIPTION
Ernestine is an adorable senior girl who had no adoption interest and was out of time and out of options in a crowded shelter before we scooped her up. She's around 30 pounds, maybe 10-12 years old, super friendly with people and great on leash. Ernestine sleeps quietly crated all night and we go right out to potty in the morning. We're still assessing her with other dogs. She mostly ignores them, but so far isn't a fan of having them come into her space. She was polite meeting a confident cat. She will be available after further vetting and medical clearance.
The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.
