Stray Chihuahua Mix Needs Home in Central California
This little dog has been wandering around our area for about a week now. At first, I couldn't get her to come close. I didn't see her for a few days, so had been hoping she'd found her way home. Yesterday afternoon, however, I heard barking, looked out, and saw her in someone's carport. I whistled to distract her, and she came running over to me! Yes, my mom and I are animal suckers;-) We cannot take her in, though. We're only allowed to have two dogs here, which we already do.
She has a very temporary foster home at the moment, to get her off the streets. However, she needs permanent placement soon. She needs to be inside, as she's a little velcro dog who wants so much to attach herself to you. She'll be your little shadow:-)
Sadly, Chihuahuas are a dime a dozen in this area. The county animal control has more small dogs than you can imagine (seriously overloaded), and isn't no-kill. I've been asking around here, but no one wants her:-(
She's very sweet, and appears to be still puppy-ish. Her teeth are white (cute little underbite!), and she wants to play. However, she's very shy and submissive right now (understandably!). I gave her a bath yesterday, because she was so dirty, and she was very good.
She's MUCH smaller than she looks in these photos. I'm guessing under 10 lbs., but not sure (she's smaller than our big Persian). Yesterday, when she came to me, I sat down and held her for a long time. She wouldn't let me put her down. If I moved her out of my lap, she crawled right back in:-) For a stray who's been through a tough time, that's pretty amazing (at least to me).
She seems to get along well with both other dogs and cats. There are stray and feral cats here, too (which I've posted photos of before) - she's more intimidated by them than anything. She follows along when other people in here are walking their dogs, and gets very excited because she wants to play.
This little girl wants to be somebody's special pampered pup, and really wants to enjoy being a dog and playing again. If you're interested, please contact me through Flickr Mail and tell me about the forever home you could offer:-) She's in central California between Fresno and Visalia.
