About Sweety

Meet Sweety, a spunky two-year-old Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix who has made her way from Roswell to the beautiful Colorado mountains. Weighing in at 12 pounds, Sweety proves that small dogs can have big personalities—and she’s incredibly cuddly too. Sweety is a quick learner, mastering the doggy door and successfully navigating her potty training with some scheduled outings. She's an expert leash walker, though her instinct to chase little critters like bunnies shows her playful side. This adorable pup quickly befriended the resident dog and is being introduced to the idea of sharing space with cats. While she’s content in her crate at night, hiding under the covers is where she truly shines as a snuggler. Sweety is quiet, with just a gentle whimper to express herself, and she takes her mealtime very seriously. A fenced outdoor area would be perfect for her, and she would thrive in a home with respectful children aged 8 and up. She's spayed, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative, and microchipped. If you’re looking for a fun-loving companion who doubles as a lap warmer, Sweety might just be your perfect match! Give Sweety the forever home she deserves!
