Little Red Riding Hood - Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Santa Rosa, California

Little Red Riding Hood came to us a week and a half before we wrote this story here. Shaking uncontrollably, she would sit off by herself and just tremble. If we slowly picked her up she was a little frozen but always gentle and sweet.

Today she is 100% lapdog. She still has a lot to learn about the world, at her own pace but we know that she has only sweetness to offer, even under stress. She liked the other dogs in our shelter but would lap guard a smidge. It was noticeable to experienced eyes but never amounted to much.

Little Red came from a home with 55 other dogs so she seems to appreciate a little space to cope with all of this change. Shes only about two years old so she will adapt quickly. She has already adapted to the two loving laps she has in her foster home and they are slowly introducing her to the harness and the leash. We think she will thrive in a home with a couple of people who can give her lots of time and attention. Shes only 8 pounds. The perfect size.

The Chihuahua is a small breed famous for its confidence, loyalty, and big personality, despite its tiny size. Originating from Mexico, these dogs are known for their large, expressive eyes and alert, curious nature. Chihuahuas make excellent companions, forming strong bonds with their owners and displaying a protective nature. They come in a variety of coat colors and patterns, with both long and short coats, making them a diverse and adorable addition to any family.

Our Mission is to foster and perpetuate unconditional love.
