05/02/26 16:15 Meet Artemis (A1404888), an 8-week-old short-hair chihuahua with delicate features and a loving, expressive personality that immediately draws people in. She is incredibly people-oriented and will happily climb right into your lap, curl up, and fall asleep, making her the perfect companion for anyone looking for a deeply affectionate little dog. Despite her gentle appearance, she has a playful, spirited side and loves running around playing chase with her brother, Apollo (A1404889), showing off her fun and energetic personality. Artemis is very smart and highly treat motivated, already showing strong potential for training and learning. She pays attention, is eager to engage, and it’s easy to see that she will excel at learning tricks and building new skills with positive reinforcement. For example, she fearlessly jumped onto her foster's back during training - an advanced trick! She is also doing well in a home environment, handling loud household noises like the Roomba, dishwasher, and laundry machine without issue, and she is consistently using pee pads, which is a great foundation for continued potty training. She is still building confidence in a few areas, particularly with being picked up and with bathing, and will benefit from gentle, consistent exposure to help her feel more secure over time. At the same, she is very quiet, handles nail trims, settles very well, and has short low-shedding fur, which is a great sign for ongoing care and handling. Artemis would do best in a home that is ready to continue building her confidence while supporting her natural curiosity and intelligence. Artemis is expected to stay very small and will need a home that understands how to safely handle and care for a delicate, small-breed dog. She will thrive with someone who wants a close, affectionate companion and is excited to invest time in training, bonding, and helping her grow. With the right support, Artemis is going to develop into an incredibly devoted, smart, and loving companion.
