Michelle - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Minneapolis, Minnesota

About Me

Meet Michelle, a sweet young pup who's happiest when she's close to her people. She's a true “professional cuddler” and will gladly snuggle up with you after a day of following you around the house—she loves being involved in whatever you're doing! Michelle is playful and curious, always up for a new adventure, whether it's a walk, a boat ride, or just hanging out with her favorite toys.

She fits right into a busy household and gets along well with children and other dogs. While she's interested in making dog friends, she's still learning how to play with bigger pups and can be a bit timid at first. Michelle is leash trained and working hard on her potty training and crate routine. She's making progress, but still has the occasional accident and prefers snuggling over spending the night in her crate—she'll whine or bark until she can be with you, but is learning to settle for longer stretches.

Michelle isn't a fan of the vacuum or being crated, but she's slowly building confidence and independence. She hasn't lived with cats, so her compatibility with them is unknown.

If you're looking for a loving, loyal companion who will be your shadow and your snuggle buddy, Michelle could be the perfect fit. She's ready to join you on life's adventures and would love a family who can help her keep learning and growing. Apply to meet Michelle and see if she's the missing piece in your home!
