About Sweet Pea

Sweet Pea is a 7-week-old Chihuahua mix found at the shelter with just her sister, no parents in sight. She’s a compact little pup—about 3 lbs as of late May—with a bundle of typical puppy spark. Sweet Pea is quiet, not a barker, and prefers short snuggle sessions with her person before bounding off to play with her toys. She’s into playing more than chewing, at least for now. Sweet Pea gets along well with other dogs and has already caught onto house training, which is a bonus at her age. Her temperament with cats and kids hasn’t been fully tested yet, but she does well with strangers and men. There are no special medical needs or requirements for her future home.
