Ferka is a beautiful Chihuahua, approximately 4 years old and weighing about 9 lbs. She's a small girl with a big personality and an even bigger heart. Discovered under a church roof during Mass, she showed a natural comfort with people and other dogs. That sweet, social spirit is who Ferka is today! She is crate trained and rides calmly in the car. Ferka gets along well with dogs, children, men, and women, and she is very sociable even with strangers. She is affectionate, playful, and loves giving kisses, truly enjoying human attention and being part of the action.
Ideal Home
Ferka can be a little too playful with other dogs, and her high energy sometimes overwhelms them. She would do best with tolerant, playful dogs or with proper supervision. She cannot live with cats, as she tends to chase them.
Ongoing Health
Ferka has received spay/neuter, DHPPI and rabies vaccines, Bordetella vaccine, deworming, and a microchip. She tested negative for heartworm and 4DX, and is on monthly Nexgard Spectra for flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.
Training & Support
Ferka is not house-trained. It is important to understand that rescued dogs may require an adjustment period. Patience and understanding are crucial to help build trust and strengthen the bond. She is an intelligent dog and would benefit from consistent training and guidance, or the willingness to hire a trainer.
