Gemma - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Larkfield-wikiup, California

We got a call from a local shelter about this itty bitty girl. She came from a hoarding situation and wasn't coping with shelter life. Poor tiny thing is just 5 pounds, scared and grumpy. She was so defensive, we had to wrap her in a blanket just to pick her up. She rode inside foster mom's jacket, tried to make a break for it, peed down foster mom's shirt and tried to bite.

Now that she's settling into her foster home, getting fed tiny bites of super yummy meatballs every time we approach, and has been picked up numerous times, she's starting to feel safer.

Gemma is around a year or two old and we'll assess further as we get to know her. Check our social medial pages for updates on her progress.
