Luissa / Mama Lu - (2 Years Old) - Mixed Breed and Chihuahua Dog for Adoption in Albany, New York

Meet Luissa (Mama Lu)!

Mama Lu has spent the last several months devoted to raising her family, and now its finally her turn to be the one who is loved and spoiled.

Luissa came into rescue with seven tiny, one-day-old puppies depending on her. She was underweight, dehydrated, and in need of plenty of care herself. With lots of nurturing, quality nutrition, and four meals a day, she blossomed into a healthy, happy little dog. Most importantly, she proved to be an amazing mother. Thanks to her dedication, all seven of her beautiful puppies have found wonderful homes of their own.

Now Mama Lu is ready to find hers.

Weighing just 13 pounds, Luissa is a delightful mix of several toy breeds and is estimated to be between 2 and 3 years old. She is crate trained and does well with housebreaking when provided regular potty breaks every 3- 4 hours during the day.

Luissa loves her daily walks and gets excited the moment she sees her harness and leash come out. She also enjoys riding shotgun on errands, happily accompanying her person wherever the day leads. When shes not out and about, youll find her enjoying a tasty biscuit or chew, or curled up contentedly in your lap.

Sweet, affectionate, and full of personality, Mama Lu is everything people love about a small companion dog. If youre looking for a loyal little sidekick who will brighten your days and keep a smile on your face, Luissa may be the perfect match.

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.
