Lady Grr Baby Chihuahua Mix Covington, WA

PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE BIO ON THIS DOG BEFORE REQUESTING AN APPLICATION. MANY OF OUR DOGS HAVE STRICT REQUIREMENTS FOR THEIR ADOPTION.

1. She needs to be in a home with no children.
2. She would be better off as an only dog in the house.

2-year-old female Chihuahua mix, about 10 pounds. Introducing Lady Grr Baby and all of the spunk that goes with such a title. If you are looking for a dog that equally loves you and tries to put you in YOUR place, Lady Grr Baby is for you. She is a 2ish-years-old, 10-pound, rambunctious Chihuahua mix with the most adorable pink and black nose, big brown eyes, and floppy ear tops. She is exceedingly photogenic! Grr Baby LOVES going on long walks, sitting on your lap at all times, laying by a fireplace or woodstove (occasionally, a little too close), following you around the house, playing with toys, stopping by the local grocery store to open and close the automatic doors, staring at you adoringly, finding soft blankets, chasing her tail, and being as sassy as she can be. Grr Baby HATES vacuum cleaners, being cold, fireworks, strangers (which is anyone who is not her immediate people), and not getting her way. WARNING. Lady Grr Baby likes to get her way, even when she shouldn’t, and with her strong personality, she needs an owner who is equally as assertive and loving as she is. Her “go to” when not getting her way is to growl and sometimes bite. Yes, BITE! And though she has a small mouth, she can bite HARD. It hurts and might hurt your feelings. It does not mean she does not adore you; she does. She has trust and impulse control issues she is working on. We, her fosters, learned her triggers (which we will share) and tried to work with and around them our first few weeks and months with her, but she did still bite us from time to time. Around 3 months in (and with lots of patience, understanding, discipline, compassion, and a few Band-Aids), she no longer bites us. As such, she CANNOT be in a home with children of any age. We have also found that while she respects her female foster, she absolutely adores her male foster. She would be great with a woman but truly is a “guy’s girl.” Grr Baby has done very well using a doggy door but does not like pottying outside when it is cold or raining and thus may need some encouragement when the weather is not ideal. She is good in a crate when her fosters are away from home, despite not liking to be in one. She would be a TERRIFIC ONLY dog. She would be okay in a home with other dogs, but she does want ALL of the attention. Lady Grr Baby is one of her fosters’ favorite dogs of all time. If you are looking for a SMALL Chihuahua mix with a BIG personality, she is for you. NOTE: she is the RESCUES all time favorite girl as well!
