This is Vaquita. This lil' tater tot weighs about 8 pounds, is eight years old, is spayed and is currently living in a foster home. To adopt Vaquita, the first step is to email us at pets@michianapets.org and request an application.
Here is a little bit about her from her foster mom...
"This sweet girl is missing her human papa (her original owner became sick and could no longer keep her), so please give her a couple of days to get comfy and adjust to another new life.
Once she is acclimated, she is a friendly gal who delights in the comfort of her heated crate and she loves belly rubs. She does not mind other little dogs as long as they give her her space. She typically just minds her own business. She hasn't been super playful yet but we haven't had her very long, either.
Vaquita is fully house-trained and does her business in this frigid cold weather like a good girl. I would keep her if I did not already have two foster fails!
I am sure with some active fur-parents or some springtime walkies that she will find her inner swimsuit body again! She has a few pounds to shed; please consult your vet along the way! She recently had about 10 teeth pulled! Even with having teeth gone, she is still a perfect 10 in our eyes!" -Vaquita's foster mom.
Vaquita asks for a home without kitty friends. Kiddos in the home should be about 8ish and older. We'd love for whoever adopts Vaquita to understand she is still learning how to share food nicely. She may prefer to be fed separately to make her most comfortable. Vaquita has done great with other small dogs but is asking that any resident dog allows her her space when she is asking for it. She's a gal who likes to be social but then values her alone time.
