Chihuahua Dogs Available for Adoption

**AVAILABLE ON-SITE ONLY ON FRIDAYS AND SATURDAYS **

Meet Machaca!

This sweet little girl will wiggle into your heart with her gentle nature and her slightly short low-rider legs that only make her extra adorable. Pictures don't completely capture her cuteness, you have to watch her prance over to meet a new friend to see just how adorable she is! While she may seem a little unsure of new people and places at first, her fosters report that in only a few days she learns that her new people are the best and will become the best snuggle buddy. In recent days when she comes to Saving Grace for Fun Sized appointments the volunteers are all noticing how much more at ease she is. It's great fun seeing her friendly personality emerge as she has figured out she is surrounded by nothing but nice people despite her life being completely different from what it was before! She wags her little tail at newcomers and leaps into the arms of volunteers even when she's only met them briefly before, so she's probably going to astound her new family with her continued progress over the weeks and months after she is adopted.

Machaca's foster reports that she is still learning the ropes with potty training but that as she gets in a routine she is getting better day by day. Machaca is getting used to being on a leash and walking around outside. She can be a little unsure of new environments - all the reason to leash her up with a harness she can't slip out of and let her see the world so that her confidence can keep expanding! While with her snow weekend foster after she first arrived at SG, she was able to get a bath and is reported to do pretty good in a bath setting! She has also been around a larger sized dog and is reported to do well with friends. She came from a household that was overwhelmed by numerous other small dogs around her size, so she is very used to living with canine friends. It's not surprising that she can slot right in with a new pack with ease.

Machaca is a very sweet girl who deserves to have a family that can show her how great life can be. If you are interested in meeting Machaca, we invite you to make a Fun Size appointment!
