Gordita - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Potomac, Maryland

GORDITA: THE PINT-SIZED POWERHOUSE WITH A SWEET SIDE!

Meet Gordita: a spunky, sharp-eyed Chihuahua girl who is serious about her sass and secretly a total sweetheart.

She's the slightly bigger half of her sibling duo, and she's the independent thinker. Nothing gets past this girl! Every sound, every movement, every little thing in the room is on her radar. She may take a moment to warm up, but once she does, she's sweet, polite, and happy to be held and cuddled by her people.

With her brother, though? Pure feisty fun. She wrestles, nips, and gnaws on him like it's her full-time job, and he adores her anyway. The two of them are inseparable, playing hard and then crashing into a cuddly nap pile on top of each other.

Her foster family says she has a great appetite, drinks water well, has clear eyes, and smells wonderfully fresh. She lets people touch her paws, mouth, and ears with zero fuss, and she traveled beautifully in the car. Quiet, curious, and playful, Gordita is a little girl who is ready to take on the world.

Gordita stats, because you asked:

9 week old and already full of spirit
Chihuahua: small but SASSY
Awareness status: FULLY ACTIVATED
Independent, curious, and playful
Sweet and polite with people, feisty with her brother
Comfortable being held and handled
Currently accepting applications for gentle introductions and cozy cuddles

Fair warning: Gordita may need a little time to warm up to new things, so she'll thrive with a family who offers patience, calm confidence, and lots of positive experiences. Give her that, and you'll have a devoted, clever little companion who keeps you on your toes (and in your heart).

If you're looking for a smart, spirited girl who is sweet where it counts, Gordita is ready to be your best friend.

Ready to fall in love? Apply today. Gordita is waiting for YOU! Warning: extreme cuteness (and a whole lot of sass) ahead!
