Meet Turtle, the tiny chihuahua who’s perfected the art of the slow and steady approach. At just 3.5 years old and 7 pounds, this little lady isn’t in a rush to win you over—she’s going to take her sweet time, get to know you, and then snuggle in for life. True to her name, Turtle likes to peek out from her shell when she’s good and ready, and when she does, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without her. Turtle is a social butterfly… in disguise. She absolutely adores other dogs and would thrive with a canine buddy to show her the ropes and boost her confidence. Once she feels safe, she’s a total sweetheart who loves a gentle lap cuddle and being carried around like the precious pocket-sized princess she is. If you're looking for a dog who will love you for being patient and understanding, Turtle is your girl. She’s not going to barrel into your life with wild zoomies, but once she’s comfortable, she’ll be your loyal little shadow. Turtle is a perfect companion for someone who values the quiet wins—like the first time she curls up next to you and decides you’re her person forever. Slow and steady wins the heart. Turtle’s just waiting for someone who gets that. Turtle is spayed, chipped, and UTD on vaccines. She has had a 4DX test and is negative for heartworm and tick disease. Want to meet her?
