April is not your grandma's Chihuahua... she's a spunky, go-getter who loves to play with the big dogs and go out to adventure. She can be chill in the house, but she's fairly active and craves a life where she can go out and see the world, work on training and do fun things. She will do best with a dog-savvy person.
Ideal Home
April would thrive in a home with a fenced yard. She was found as a stray in California, wandering the streets looking dirty, weary, and thirsty. April turned out to be the most affectionate, personable little dog! In typical Chihuahua fashion, she bonds quickly with her person and wants to be with them and be snuggled up. She was bouncy, happy, and persistently enthusiastic towards a toddler she met, so she would do best with children ages 10+.
Ongoing Health
April is vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, heartworm tested negative, and dewormed. She is current on flea and tick preventatives. Her adoption fee includes a free wellness exam at one of our partner veterinary clinics in Oregon City, Milwaukie, Portland, or Tualatin.
Training & Support
April walks on leash and is happy to take a stroll. She has the energy to keep up being a nice little adventure buddy too, but she does pull on leash and is working on simmering down her excitement to go "full steam ahead." She is doing decently well with her potty habits, but as she is in her first week in foster care, some potty accidents may occur as she learns the routine and where to potty outside. She is crate-trained and sleeps in her crate at night.
