About Ember

Ember is a pocket-sized livewire with a fiercely loving spirit. With just eight pounds packed into her little Chihuahua frame, she has a way of melting hearts wherever she goes. Her face, bright eyes, and quirky teeth are a daily mood-lifter, and her favorite activity is sticking close—so don’t expect much alone time once Ember moves in. She’s a true Velcro dog, always looking for a human lap or a soft spot to snuggle. Ember slides into new homes like she was always meant to be there—she was part of her foster crew within hours. She gets along beautifully with other dogs and ignores cats entirely. While busy households and quiet ones both suit her, Ember shines brightest with plenty of company—she'd love a home where someone isn’t gone for long stretches, ideally with another dog for company. She’s best in families with older kids, since she’s petite and needs gentle handling. House, crate, and leash training are in progress, so a little patience goes a long way. If you can offer a secure yard and lots of companionship, Ember’s ready to be your loyal shadow. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and lets get started.
