Ana - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

About Me

Meet Ana, a gentle soul with a heart full of love and a talent for snuggling. Ana is a low-key companion who prefers cozy naps and quiet moments, but she also enjoys playful bursts outside—especially if there are other dogs to romp with. She's friendly with both dogs and cats, and her shy nature melts away once she feels safe, revealing a sweet, affectionate side that will happily curl up in your lap.

Ana is still learning the ropes when it comes to toys and potty routines. She's mostly house-trained but needs a little help remembering to go outside, so regular check-ins are helpful. She's working on crate training to help with her separation anxiety, and she feels most comfortable when she knows her people are nearby.

Ana's expressive ears give away her every emotion, and while she can be anxious in new situations or with strangers, patience and gentle encouragement help her blossom. She loves chewing on bones, sleeping snuggled up in bed, and being your loyal shadow around the house.

If you're looking for a calm, loving companion who will reward your kindness with endless cuddles, Ana might be the perfect fit. She's ready to find a patient, understanding home where she can feel safe and loved. If Ana sounds like your new best friend, we'd love for you to apply and meet her!

Helpful Notes from Ana's Foster: Ana's shy with new people but after she warms up, she's very cuddly and loves laying on your lap. She's a very sweet dog but she can get anxious when being picked up or in new situations. She loves running around with both big and small dogs outside, but she can get territorial over her humans. She met a cat briefly and was curious but didn't chase.
