Minnie Chihuahua Fairfax, VA

*Looking for a special adopter for our tiny girl!

You've heard of Sour Patch Kids...but have you heard of a Sour Patch Chihuahua?

They're rare and we have one for adoption!

Minnie is sweet and sour. One minute she's giving you a kiss and the next she's telling you off...then she's back to lovingly looking into your eyes and begging to be cuddled.

Minnie was surrendered to a rural shelter when her owner was diagnosed with cancer and could no longer care for her. She's about 5 years old and only THREE lbs. If we had to guess, Minnie has spent the majority of her little life being carried around.

She is currently in a foster home with several other dogs of all sizes. She does well as long as the other dog doesn't mind being bossed around by a Guinea Pig. She's working on pee pad training but has a way to go. Minnie is good in the crate and sleeps through the night without a peep. She LOVES toys and bones and will toss them around to herself for hours. It's the cutest when she gets the zoomies...she can really move!

This tiny terror of a pup loves her person deeply! She would really enjoy an owner willing to take her for car rides, out for walks, buy her all the toys and treats, and carry her around all day long.

Really, she's not asking for a lot.
