Lacey - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Mead, Colorado

At 14 years old and a fluffy 8 pounds, Lacey has officially reached the age where she has zero interest in pretending to like things she doesnt. She made the journey from Texas after her owner passed away, and while life has changed, one thing certainly hasnt: her confidence. This little lady knows exactly who she is, and shes not interested in negotiating.

Lets address the elephant... or rather, the lack of teeth... in the room. Lacey has no teeth, yet she remains deeply committed to biting anyone who forgets that personal space is a privilege, not a right. Is it effective? Not really. Is the effort inspiring? Absolutely. Her tiny tongue spends most of its time sticking out of her mouth, making every dramatic glare about 75% cuter than she intends.

Lacey believes affection should happen on a strict appointment-only basis. You may pet her, but only when she has decided youve earned the opportunity. Ironically, once you scoop her up to carry her over stairs (her luxating kneecaps mean stairs are not on the agenda), shes perfectly content to relax in your arms and even accept some gentle pets. Its almost like she enjoys being chauffeured. Imagine that.

Shes carrying a couple of extra pounds and could stand to slim down closer to 6-7 pounds, but dont mention that to her unless youre feeling brave. Shed much rather discuss your life choices than her own fitness goals. Aside from her creaky little knees and carrying a few extra ounces of retirement fluff, Lacey seems to be a healthy senior who still has plenty of personality left to share.

Lacey would do best in a home with either no kids or dog-savvy kids who understand that consent is important, especially when it comes from an opinionated Chihuahua. She could happily coexist with another mellow dog who respects her bubble, or shed be perfectly content reigning as the one and only queen of the castle.

If youve been searching for a tiny dog with a huge personality, endless comedic expressions, and enough sass to keep you laughing every single day, Lacey is ready to rule your home. Just remember: the throne is hers. Youre simply there to pay the rent/mortgage.

Lacey is in foster in Loveland, Colorado.
