Sweetie - ADOPTED

Sweetie is a three-year old female Chihuahua mix. She was brought into our program as a stray. Sweetie is a little timid and nervous around new people, but she tends to warm up pretty fast. Sweetie will need an extra loving and very patient owner to shower her with lots of attention. She likes to sit on your lap and sleep in the bed with you, and she just wants to be with you constantly. She really doesn't care for being in a crate, she'll bark and whine, but she eventually settles down. The only time she is crated, though, is when her foster family is away. Sweetie will not go potty on a leash or tie-out, so a fenced yard is a must, unless she finds a really patient owner that will work with her on that or paper training her. She is paper trained in her foster home. Sweetie gets along with the other dogs in the home. She gets nervous around younger kids, so it's probably best if she goes to a home with kids over 8.
