Shirley - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Saint Marys, Pennsylvania

Shirley is an approximately 3 year old, Chihuahua mix. In July 2026, she and several others were brought to the shelter due to an overcrowding situation. Shirley is spayed, updated on her vaccinations, flea treated, dewormed, and microchipped.

This sweet little lady can be a bit shy around new people and situations at first, but she warms up well. She's looking for a family that won't mind giving her a little extra time to get used to them if she needs. Once she warms up, though, Shirley is sure to bloom in a wonderful lap dog.

She will need some additional work on her housetraining. She has lived with other dogs in the past.

If you are interested in adopting Shirley, please fill out an adoption application using our website (echumanesociety.org) and a member of staff will be in touch with you as soon as possible. You are also more than welcome to stop out and meet Shirley in person! Feel free to call the shelter at (814) 834-3247 if you have any questions.
