Chispita - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Lenexa, Kansas

A little lap, a lot of love.

Meet Chispita also known as Chippy - This sweet girl is a 14-year-old, 10-pound Chihuahua looking for a loving home to spend her golden years - a soft place to land. After spending her entire life with the same family, she was surrendered because they have small children.

Chippy gets along well with older children and other dogs, and her favorite things are going for walks and sitting on your lap. She likes to burrow whether in her crate, on the sofa or curled up beside you in bed.

She is potty trained with regular trips outside and will use a potty pad when she isn't let out. She can't see out of her right eye so it's best to approach her on the left but otherwise she does see fine.

This precious senior doesn't ask for much-gentle care, a warm lap, and a family to spend her golden years with. Could you be her next chapter?
