Rachel Chihuahua Mix Palatine, IL

Rachel is a young Chihuahua with a personality that would fit right in at Central Perk. Named after Rachel Green from “Friends,” she’s a bit of a diva in her own adorable way—full of charm and always ready for snuggles. Though she's fully house-trained, sometimes her excitement gets the best of her, resulting in a little tinkle, but with her lovable nature, it’s hard to be upset. Rachel can be shy with new people, much like Rachel Green was when she first arrived at Monica’s apartment, but she warms up with a little patience. She’s never aggressive, just a bit cautious, and once she trusts someone, she’s loyal through and through.

True to her namesake, Rachel enjoys the finer things in life—like a cozy lap and a warm spot to cuddle. She’s treat-motivated, so with a few “Scooby Snacks” (or in this case, little dog treats), she’s more than willing to learn new tricks. She’s also a bit picky about outdoor time, preferring to pop outside quickly and return to her comfort zone indoors. Like Rachel Green finding herself and her independence in New York, this Rachel is finding her stride and a sense of comfort in familiar places, especially if her person is nearby.

This little lady would be happiest in a calm, affectionate home with someone who doesn’t mind sharing the couch—or even their lap—because she’s all about bonding time. Crate-trained but happiest when she’s close to her person, Rachel doesn’t need much stimulation, just a present and loving companion. She’s content to lounge around and would happily become the Monica to your Chandler, always nearby and ready to bring love, laughter, and endless devotion into your life. With her mix of sweetness, quirkiness, and a touch of that Rachel Green spark, she’s sure to be the perfect cuddle buddy and forever friend.
