Tilly - Chihuahua and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Springfield, Missouri

Blind dogs navigate the world with their hearts, noses, and paws. They may not see the world, but they teach us how to see it with love. I'm Tilly...a sweet 12-year-old, 10-pound little lady with a big heart and a brave spirit. Even though I'm blind and recently had one of my eyes removed, I don't let that stop me from enjoying life. I do a wonderful job navigating my surroundings with my nose, my paws, and my memory. Once I learn the layout of a room, I'm happy to move around on my own, and I amaze everyone with how well I figure things out. I'm a laid-back girl who loves knowing my person is nearby. A gentle touch or hearing you close by helps me feel safe and secure. If I can't tell where you are, I may bark because I'm simply trying to find you. When I know you're close, I'm quiet, content, and happy to relax. I'm looking for a home where someone is around most of the day because I truly love being with my people. I thrive on attention, affection, and companionship. There's nothing better than spending my day close to the person I love. I also get along with other dogs and cats, however, a home without children would be best for me. I'm working hard on my housebreaking. I really do well when I'm given frequent opportunities to go outside, and I'm happiest when I can stick to a regular potty schedule. Because I'm blind, I'll need to be carried outside and back inside for potty breaks, but once I'm outdoors, I do a great job taking care of business. My crate is one of my favorite places because it makes me feel safe and comfortable. It's my own little cozy retreat where I can relax and rest peacefully. I may not see your face, but I'll love you with my whole heart every single day.

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.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
