Judy | 6-year-old Chihuahua mix | Your sweet little cuddle bug
Judy is a sweet, friendly 11-pound Chihuahua mix who loves her people and is always happy to curl up for some cuddles. She is house trained, walks nicely on a leash, and does well being left alone for several hours after a little initial whining. She enjoys walks, playtime, squeaky toys, and lots of attention, but she also knows how to settle down and relax.
Judy is food motivated and eager to learn, so she should pick up new commands quickly with some patient training. She can be a little barky and protective at times, and she is still working on play biting and polite treat-taking. She has had mixed experiences with other small dogs and would likely do best with slow, thoughtful introductions; she could also be perfectly happy as your one-and-only. She has been calm around the resident cat and has not shown much interest in it.
Judy would do well in a home that can give her regular walks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of love. A fenced yard would be a bonus but isn't necessary. She hasn't been around children yet, so older kids may be the better fit given her tendency to play bite. Like any dog adjusting to a new home, Judy may have a few accidents or need some time to settle into her new routine.
Once she gets comfortable, Judy's affectionate, playful personality really shines. She took to her foster family almost immediately and loves being close to her people. Whether she's following you around the house, curling up under the covers, or asking for belly rubs, Judy is a little dog with a lot of love to give. With a family willing to give her some guidance, exercise, and attention, this sweet girl is ready to thrive.
If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $400. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
