Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Sabine, a one-year-old chihuahua who proves that bravery doesn’t always look loud. At 12 pounds, she’s small but mighty… just operating in stealth mode. Sabine is still figuring out this big, busy world, and she prefers to take things at her own carefully measured pace. Think of her as the strong, silent type with excellent observational skills.

True to her name, Sabine approaches life with a bit of strategy. She’s curious, cautious, and very thoughtful about new situations. A confident canine companion would be her ideal co-pilot, helping her learn the ropes and showing her that the world isn’t so scary after all. Once she sees the plan in action, she’s much more willing to join the mission.

Sabine is highly motivated by snacks (honestly, same) and quietly longs for love, affection, and reassurance. She may not rush into your arms on day one, but when she decides you’re safe, her trust is the ultimate win. Watching her confidence grow is incredibly rewarding—and yes, treats help speed up the process.

Sabine is spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and has tested negative for heartworm and tick-borne diseases. If you’re looking for a gentle soul who just needs patience, kindness, and maybe a brave dog sibling to show her the way, Sabine is ready to carefully—but hopefully—sneak her way into your heart.
