At just 11 pounds, Missy is proof that big personalities come in very small packages. This 11 1/2-year-old Chihuahua first came to us after being transferred from an out-of-county animal control facility. She was adopted and enjoyed several years in a home of her own before recently returning when her owner could no longer care for her. Missy has spent much of her life enjoying a familiar routine, so shelter life has been a big adjustment. She can be a little "spicy" at times while she's settling in, but we suspect much of that comes from stress and uncertainty. According to her previous owner, she got along well with everyone she met and is very loving once she forms a bond with her people. Missy may be in her golden years, but she's still hoping for one more chapter filled with love, comfort, and a person to call her own.
Ideal Home
Missy prefers a calmer lifestyle and would be happiest in a mature home with children 12 years and older. She would much rather be by your side than left home alone.
Ongoing Health
Missy is blind in her left eye, has had all of her teeth removed, and either has some hearing loss or simply chooses when she'd like to listen. She also has a heart murmur that should be monitored by a veterinarian and some arthritis-related knee issues that can be managed with routine veterinary care.
Training & Support
Missy is housetrained and crate trained. A Martingale collar is required for her safety.
