ChaCha - Shih Tzu and Maltese Dog for Adoption

ChaCha
3 years, 9lbs
Surrendered by previous owner through no fault of her own

Meet ChaCha (aka Chicken, aka Nugget, aka Cheech), a three-year-old, 9lb couch potato and zoomies queen who contains multitudes. This tiny girl is one of the most confident, easygoing little dogs you'll ever meet completely unbothered by new situations, instantly friendly with every person and dog she encounters, and genuinely happy to go absolutely anywhere as long as her human is there. She's fully crate and leash trained, knows sit, is highly food motivated, and loves a good long walk before settling in for what she does best: being physically attached to her person at all times. Her underbite alone is worth the adoption fee, and she is not above deploying it strategically when food is nearby, which is frequently.

ChaCha would thrive with someone who's home a lot she is a people-oriented girl through and through and is happiest when her human is within snuggling distance. She does well in her crate and is making real progress with alone time, especially when she gets a good walk in beforehand, but her heart is most at home curled up against you on the couch or tucked into a bag ready for whatever adventure comes next. She's a great fit for apartment living, happy with or without a canine sibling, and would do best in a home without very small children given her petite size. If you're looking for a loving, hilarious, endlessly devoted little shadow with a killer underbite and so much love to give, ChaCha is your girl.
