Gretchen -880

Gretchen is a 5-year-old, 6 lb lady who knows exactly who she is, even if her early years weren't so certain. She came to us having had a rocky start to life and because of that needs consistency in her routines to really come out of her shell. She enjoys affection on her own terms; she's happy to soak up pets and snuggles, but she's equally content doing her own thing on a comfy couch or pillow. She won't be under your feet or demanding constant attention. Like any true Plastic, Gretchen has layers. She's independent and spirited, with that classic chihuahua attitude. She still can't quite make fetch happen, but she will let you sit with her. Probably.

Ideal Home

Gretchen's perfect match is someone who understands the chihuahua temperament and has a calm, patient household where she can settle in, build trust, and remember that everything is going to be okay. Due to Gretchen's size and consistency needs, she is not suitable for a home with children; everyone in her future home needs to be 16+. Gretchen is fine with other dogs; however, she will not do well in a busy home or with high-energy dogs. She chases her tail when stressed, and that can overly excite some other dogs, so any future companions will need to be lower energy and indifferent to her activity. She also would thrive as an only dog as she has no problem being Queen of her domain.
