Hope — Long‑Haired Chihuahua Mix DOB: 1/27/26 Intact Female • Approx. 5 lbs Hope is a darling little girl with a soft, wispy long coat and an even softer heart. She and her brother Rebel came to us through an unplanned litter surrender, and we’re grateful their former family chose a safe path for them. Hope is still very young and too small to be altered at this time, but she has already received her first DAPP vaccine, a dose of NexGard (a monthly flea and tick preventative), and she is microchipped for lifelong identification. True to many female Chihuahuas, Hope is observant, intelligent, and deeply people‑oriented. She warms up quickly, follows her humans with gentle curiosity, and enjoys being close without being demanding. She’s doing beautifully with dogs, cats, and humans, and she approaches new experiences with a sweet mix of caution and confidence. Because she is still developing and learning about the world, we are looking for a family with **puppy experience**—someone who understands the structure, patience, and consistency that help small‑breed puppies grow into secure, well‑adjusted adults. Hope’s chosen family will have two options for her spay: • Return to Okanogan County for surgery when she is old enough, or • Pay a **refundable spay/neuter deposit** (in addition to the adoption fee), which is returned once proof of surgery is provided. If you’re looking for a gentle, loving puppy with a bright future and a heart full of promise, Hope may be the perfect addition to your family.
