Looking for a tiny companion who just needs a little extra time to blossom? We have a special girl waiting for her perfect match! She is the definition of "Stranger Danger." New faces and loud noises can be a bit scary for her at first. Because she's a sensitive soul, she isn't afraid to use her voice! She is quite barky when she hears something unfamiliar or meets someone new-it's just her way of saying, "I'm a bit nervous, please give me space!" However, we've discovered her one true weakness... hot dogs! If you want to skip the "stranger" phase and get straight to the "friend" phase, a few tiny pieces of hot dog are the absolute fastest way to her heart. It's the ultimate peace offering! -Adults Only: No tiny humans, please! She needs a predictable, quiet home without the unpredictable energy of children. -Calm Vibes: A low-traffic household where her barking won't be triggered constantly. -Dog-Friendly: She may do well with another small, calm dog who can show her the ropes. -The Cat Mystery: Her history with cats is currently unknown. -Pee Pad Trained: She's already got the hang of using pee pads, making her a great fit for cozy indoor living! If you have a quiet home, a patient heart, and a fridge full of hot dogs, you might be exactly who she's been waiting for! She doesn't give her love away for free, but once she chooses you, you're best friends. Ready to Adopt?
