Chihuahua
Black
Each organization sets the adoption fee for their animals. Adoption fees help cover the cost of this animal’s care as well as allowing the organization to help more animals.
Penny and Tess are sweet, low energy companions who thrive in calm homes with soft voices and predictable routines. They do well with small dogs but are intimidated by larger ones, often avoiding them entirely. They haven’t met cats yet but would be open to a slow, gentle introduction. Both girls are crate trained and ride well in the car as long as they’re together. Penny enjoys leash walks with Tess right by her side and is gaining confidence every day! Their ideal home includes either no children or older, respectful children who understand how to move slowly around timid, tiny dogs. Penny is an adorable little lady, and with Tess beside her, you’ll get double the sweetness, double the snuggles, and double the love!
