Sunset - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Richmond, Texas

Meet Sunset — A Sweet Soul Learning to Trust

Breed: Chihuahua Mix
Gender: Female
Age: 2 years
Size: 8.10 lbs
Good with: Dogs but timid around people

Sunset is a beautiful ruby tan Chihuahua who is discovering, one day at a time, just how wonderful people can be. Rescued from a hoarding situation, Sunset is still learning about the world outside of the life she once knew. She is sweet and quiet, and she does best when things move at a gentle, unhurried pace.

Sunset has a special way of choosing her person. Once she decides you're someone she can trust, she wants to be near you and by your side. She doesn't need to be the center of attention — she simply wants the comfort of knowing her person is close. She may take a little time to feel comfortable, but every small step forward is meaningful. Give her patience, consistency, and the freedom to approach life at her own pace, and you'll get to watch this lovely little girl discover her confidence.

Sunset is looking for a calm, patient home with someone who understands that trust is built slowly and that the most beautiful bonds are sometimes the ones that take a little time to grow. Sunset is ready for a new beginning — one gentle day, one little step, and one loving person at a time.

The information in this profile is based on observations made while this dog has been in our shelter environment. We strive to describe each dog accurately; however, behavior and needs may change in a new home, routine, or environment.

Our dogs are not free-roaming in homes. “Potty trained” indicates reliable crate training, not confirmed free-roam house training. Accidents may occur during the transition to a new home, and additional training should be expected.

All dogs have been examined by our veterinarian, are spayed or neutered, and are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations at the time of adoption. While we provide all known medical information, we cannot guarantee future health or the absence of underlying conditions.
