About Chiquis

If you want a dog who’ll keep you on your toes and laughing all day, Chiquis is it. She’s a small but mighty, high-energy pup with a real love for play—if there’s a toy or open space, she’ll be zooming and bouncing in no time. Volunteers call her a “busy lady” because stopping for a photo feels like a waste of her precious playtime. Chiquis acts like a perpetual puppy, complete with jumpy excitement. She responds when you redirect her and really flourishes with new activities or positive training that gives her focus. There’s a gentle, sweet side to her—especially after a round of running or wrestling toys—that comes out once her energy dips a notch. She bonds with people and genuinely wants to be with you, but fun comes first. She’ll thrive somewhere she can get daily play, plenty of toys, and some structure from a person who enjoys an athletic, goofy, people-oriented dog. Take her home and you’ll get a companion who brings non-stop joy. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
