Catalina - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Los Angeles, California

Catalina is the kind of puppy who curls up in the crook of your neck and falls asleep like she has always belonged there.

She is 11 weeks old, 2 pounds, and a full Chihuahua. She is the confident one of the SoCal Beach Litter, the first to investigate, the first to find the activity and join it, and the first to climb into whoever's lap is available.

When she is not sleeping, which a 2-pound puppy does frequently and without apology, she is hopping around the yard with her Chihuahua foster sibling like she owns the place. Her foster nearly kept her. That says everything.

Catalina is not a background dog, she is the whole production. She thrives in an active home with older kids who want a puppy in the middle of everything, and she will attach to her person quickly and completely.

At 2 pounds she is tiny, and a home with children under 10 would not be the right fit.
