About Ivy

I adopted Ivy from a shelter on 3-23-24, 8 months ago. Her bio was not very accurate. I have worked with her every day since adopting her and things are just not working out here. She needs a situation with people who are very familiar with Chihuahua issues, have a lot of experience with Chihuahuas and have a lot of patience. She is not house trained, she is crate trained but will soil in her crate. She eats in her crate and sleeps there at night. She is an escape artist and will climb chain link fences. Her former owner must have used an e collar on her because she's terrified of them. She loves to raid cat pans for any feces. She cannot be trusted to be left alone in a yard and must be monitored. She absolutely needs a 6' wooden fence. Ivy is very good on a leash but usually will not come when called. Ivy knows sit, will lay down and wait before going into her crate to eat. She does like to cuddle. She loves chew toys and has several favorites. She has been getting a ratio of 1/3 kibble to 2/3 raw/lightly cooked food. She is a very good eater. I do not trust the shelter to adequately screen prospective adopters and I shall not return her to them. I paid $250 for her. Ivy is basically a good girl who needs to be in a situation where she may thrive. She might be doggie door trained but my circumstances prohibit having one. That might solve the soiling problem. She can easily get out of a harness, even when it's fitted correctly, so wearing a collar, with tags, is necessary. She is, of course, chipped. If the approved adopters wants, her crate will go with her. It is a small one to discourage soiling. It is large enough for get to sleep and eat in. I will do a vet, home and references checks. I want her to go to a great home. I want her to be happy and well taken care of. I am not in any hurry to place her. It must be the right situation for everyone.
