Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption in Milton, Delaware

Dog name: Mo to love (answers to Momo and Monèt)

Breed: mixed breed

Sex: spayed female

Age: ~3 years

Weight: 20lbs and needs to lose a few to be at her ideal body condition

Medical Needs: none

Housebroken: yes

Crate trained: no, but she is kept in a separate room when she can not be supervised and does fine.

Good in the car: she does need to be restrained in the car, otherwise she will try and get in your lap. She will also try and jump out the moment the door is open.

Good on a leash: yes she does very well but when you're taking too long picking up her she will give you several not so subtle pulls on the leash.

Energy level: medium. She loves a long walk but I would not consider her hyper or anything.

Need a fenced in yard: no, leashed walks are fine.

Dog Friendly: very slow introductions. She doesn't like sharing attention at first and has taken her a couple weeks to not be upset when hanging out with my crew of dogs.

If yes, does your foster need another dog in its adoptive homes? No

Cat Friendly? She previously lived with a cat and does not bother the strays she sees on walks.

Kid Friendly: She has previously lived with children but we do not have information regarding what that environment was like. In my care she has met a toddler who won her over with too many treats.

If yes, what's the youngest child you'd recommend they be placed with? Any age with supervision, however Mo does NOT like being picked up or touched in her arm pits. She would need to be with a family where all members understand that if she's being lifted, proper "long spine dog lifts" only. She behaves as if this causes her pain but after a vet examination it's determined it's likely just her preference.

Special traits that make your foster special or that we need to know about them? Mo to love is equal parts sweet and goofy. She wants to be your best friend after determining you're a safe person. She will waddle alongside her favorite people because she's not just loyal, she's pryish! When she gets back scratches she lifts her lip and flashes the cutest little grin. Some may say she looks deranged but her perfect family will find it charming!
