Secure Fence
(no electric fences)
and companion dog REQUIRED
Meet Dollar or “Dolly” a small 12 pound Chihuahua Mix. We think she may be around 7 or 8 years old. Dolly is an extremely sweet dog but is also a nervous dog, but she doesn’t have a mean bone in her body.
Please read her entire bio to learn more about her
.
Dolly came from a home with many other dogs where she wasn’t given a lot of socialization. Because of this there are things that scare her such as certain noises. The sound of Velcro, crinkling paper and fireworks. Reaching down to pick her up is also scary to her. She usually runs to her bed and then you can pick her up with no problem.
Dolly does go outside to potty but sometimes going out the door is scary for her so her foster picks her up to take her outside. Once outside she runs like the wind and loves being out in the fenced yard playing and chasing her foster buddies. She will come back inside on her own with no problem. She is also potty pad trained if not taken outside.
She loves the other small dogs in her foster home so she will need a dog of similar size in the home. She will also need a completely secure fenced yard. I
f you do not have a secure fence and a small companion dog, please do not apply.
Dolly is not leash trained and probably never will be for her own safety. She can be a barker so no apartments for this girl. Due to Dolly's nervous nature, she will not be placed in a home with kids, only for her own safety as she is a big flight risk.
When it’s time to sit and relax on the sofa, Dolly is the first one there and is on your lap practically before you sit down. She is a silly little girl who loves being with her foster mom. She would stay on your lap all day if you’d let her but sometimes foster mom has other things to do.
Her foster mom is so proud of this little girl and the progress she has made in the time she’s been here. When she first arrived, she wouldn’t even come into the same room and would not dare let anyone even touch her and now she a total lap dog, with a few quirks. She’s looking for that one special person who can accept her for who she is to give her the quiet home she so deserves.
