About Pebbles

Pebbles is a small, 4–5 year old Chihuahua mix with a real comeback story. After surviving being hit by a car, she’s bounced back and is now happiest curled up in a lap. Pebbles is about 8 pounds—though a little underweight and could use a few more pounds—but nothing slows her down. She’s 110% lapdog, according to her foster, and happiest when she can be near her person. House trained and crate trained, she settles in after a bit and will sleep through the night. Pebbles likes to sunbathe and will trot to the door when she’s ready to come back in. While she gets along with other dogs, she prefers to have her human’s attention to herself, so she’d do best as the only dog in a home where people are around most of the day. Vaccinations will be up to date before adoption. If you’re looking for an affectionate, loving companion who’s survived the worst and still just wants to snuggle, Pebbles might be your perfect match. This resilient girl is in Paramus, NJ and ready to find her forever family. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
