Hi, I'm Lovie. A tiny little lady with a big heart and a strong opinion about who gets the best lap in the house. I'm an 8-year-old Chihuahua and Miniature Pinscher mix, and I'm looking for a cozy home where I can be someone's loyal little companion. I get along well with other small dogs, though I will admit I like to be first in line for lap time. If there's a cozy lap available, I believe it should be mine. What can I say? I know what I like. When I meet new people I can be a little nervous and might let you know about it with my voice. I just need a little space and a bit of patience while I decide everything is safe. Once I feel comfortable, I settle right down. I'm already potty trained and have some good basics down. I'm leash trained, crate trained, and I ride nicely in the car. My energy level is moderate, so I enjoy walks and little adventures but I'm just as happy curling up beside you for a nap. My favorite place in the world is right next to my person. I love to cuddle and I make an excellent bed partner if you don't mind a tiny heater tucked under the blankets. If you're looking for a devoted little companion who will happily keep you company, warm your lap, and remind you that you're loved every single day, I might just be your girl. Lovie is from Texas. They arrive in Minnesota on 3/21/2026 and will need to be picked up from the Ruff Start Rescue office in Princeton, MN between the hours of 9am and noon. Please plan for their arrival accordingly as we cannot accommodate pickups outside of this time frame. Since they haven't arrived yet, they are available exclusively through Ruff Start's Foster to Adopt (FTA) Program. Click here to learn more about the FTA program. Once they get to Minnesota, they might require further veterinary care. Ruff Start's veterinary suite is located in Princeton, MN, and, as the foster, you will be required to transport your dog to and from these vetting appointments.
