Make their next chapter their best one yet. Barbie is a petite, smart, and playful Chihuahua and terrier mix with a big heart, just waiting for the right home. Rescued from a challenging situation involving over 100 dogs in one house, she’s made remarkable progress in foster care, developing trust with other dogs while still learning to trust people. Barbie is young, healthy, and absolutely loves toys, jumping, and climbing. You'll notice her cleverness and curiosity in the way she makes eye contact and responds to gentle guidance. Currently, Barbie is still quite feral with humans, and has not yet allowed touching or direct interaction, but she has shown signs that, with time and patience, she may learn to feel safe with loving guardians. Because she feels comfortable and learns from other dogs, she would thrive in a home with a playful resident dog to help build her confidence. Barbie uses puppy pads and explores the outdoors in a secure yard. Like many terrier types, she's a bit of an escape artist, so a vigilant home and secure environment are essential. She sleeps quietly in her crate or pen, and her foster notes she communicates clearly—without excessive barking. Barbie’s ideal adopters will have experience with shy or semi-feral dogs and understand her need for patience, structured training, and a slow approach to building trust. If you are experienced and have another playful dog at home, Barbie might just be the companion you’re looking for. Start your journey together! Apply now.
