About Sweet Pea

Adoption Fee: $275.00
Chihuahua / Rat Terrier
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Female

he was a very timid little girl when we got her but has made great improvement.. She is just a tiny little thing. Very territorial. No kids under 13. She can be nippy. A lot of treats and positive reinforcement has brought her where she is now. We can pick her up, snuggle her, allow her to sleep on the bed, and be lazy on the couch. She loves to be under the covers to sleep. We've learn to watch her body language. After you earn her trust she will let you pick her up. She will need a slow introduction and alot of attention. She was dumped at a shelter because the owners were adopting a puppy. She was very bonded with that family and she tends to bond with those that give her positive attention. Again, no kids under 13, cats or dogs (even though she gets along with her foster mom's dogs she does have her moments of snappiness which is corrected and she stops). Must understand how she is. She takes time to trust and you have to be willing to take that time! When she's happy she is all wiggles and tip tap toes (running around the house) Her vet will need to understand she can be snippy. Ours has had to muzzle her. She is puppy pad trained for housebreaking. Knows how to use them and is consistent. Update: She is getting better about everything. She really needs her own home so she can have her own human. She has to share her foster mom's attention with another dog and she doesn't like it. Her biting isn't really to break skin but to get your attention. She takes the offending member (finger or hand) and pulls it to the back of her mouth and makes a lot of noise but doesn't bit hard or break skin.
