Meet the fabulous Sylva, a charming little Chihuahua mix who’s ready to steal your heart—if you’re fortunate enough to earn her trust! At ages 4-5, this spirited lady weighs in at a petite 11 pounds, proving that great things truly come in small packages! 🐾 Sylva’s journey hasn’t been easy; she came from a hoarding and neglect situation, leaving her initially terrified and sad. 💔 But let me tell you, once she warms up to you—oh, hold on to your heart! It took just three days for this precious girl to realize that her foster family was friends, and she blossomed into a cuddly sweetheart who adores belly rubs and snuggles under the blankets! 🤗 This cute cookie is quite the character; she’s a bit of a diva and loves her treats and compliments! Just like any woman, she appreciates a compliment here and there! 🎉 However, be forewarned—if trust isn't established first, she may well earn her quirky nickname, Bitey McBiteyPants. But don't worry, with patience and love, she’ll turn into a loving companion! ❤ Sylva does wonderfully on a schedule for house training (thank heavens for puppy pads!), and she’s also crate trained. She’s a brave little traveler who enjoys rides in the car, but leash walking is still a work in progress. Her potential new home will need a fenced yard to provide her with a safe space to explore and gain confidence—think of it as her own private doggy oasis! 🌳 Because Sylva has a bit of a cautious nature, she requires an adult-only home, ideally with teens or older. She thrives in calm environments—no rambunctious kids, please! When visitors come over, it’s best for her to have a cozy crate or a quiet room to retreat to. And remember, she’s quite the bed hog! 😴 Sylva is located in Dover. If you believe you can provide a safe and loving adult home for this affectionate treasure, don’t wait another minute!
