Aranza is a sweet and resilient 4-year-old Chihuahua mix, weighing around 14 lbs, who is ready to shower a loving family with affection. She was found as a stray in Mexico and, despite a rough start with scabies, has made a remarkable recovery thanks to dedicated care. Aranza is now a happy, healthy, and incredibly affectionate girl. She's docile, playful, and loves nothing more than to snuggle up close with her favorite people. She bonds strongly with her family and enjoys playful walks and car rides. Aranza is also great with children and other dogs, making her a versatile companion. After her journey, she’s longing for the safety, love, and stability she deserves, and she promises to repay that with unwavering loyalty and companionship.
Ideal Home
Aranza would thrive in a home with a fenced backyard and an active family who enjoys spending time outdoors. She needs a family with a genuine intention to rescue and a deep understanding of the needs and potential behaviors of street animals. Ideally, her new family will have experience with dog behavior and training or be willing to hire a professional trainer. Patience and a high tolerance for a rescued pet's adjustment period are crucial.
Ongoing Health
Aranza has completed a comprehensive health protocol including being spayed, vaccinated (DHPPI and Rabies), Bordetella vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped, tested for 4DX and heartworm (both negative), and is on monthly Nexgard Spectra preventative. She has a health certificate and vaccination booklet.
Training & Support
Aranza is not house-trained, which is common for many rescued street animals. Her new family will need to be patient and understanding as she adjusts and learns new routines. The listing emphasizes the importance of patience and providing a safe, loving environment for rescued dogs to build trust and overcome past experiences.
