Meet Chiquita, a 1.5-year-old Shepherd/Blue Heeler mix who's as loving as she is loyal. She was surrendered to a high-kill shelter after her owner was incarcerated, and now she's ready for a fresh Colorado start. Chiquita is well-mannered, people-oriented, and full of sweet, steady energy. She's friendly and engaging without being over the top, and she loves connecting with her humans. You'll hear her little “conversations” when she's trying to tell you how happy she is. Chiquita is curious, affectionate, and always ready for a walk, a snuggle, or a chat. She's also done well meeting other dogs when introduced slowly and thoughtfully. She's social and polite, with just a hint of the typical leader-of-the-pack tendencies. If you're looking for a loyal companion with a big heart and even bigger potential, Chiquita is your girl.
