About Susie

Meet Susie! This adorable, 6-month-old Chihuahua/Poodle mix weighs a mere 45 pounds but is expected to mature to about 10 pounds or less. With her sweet nature and loving personality, she’s looking for a forever family to call her own. Susie came to the rescue after her family had to surrender an accidental litter. Since she arrived in foster care, she's been thriving, surrounded by love. Her foster mom describes Susie as incredibly sweet, full of potential. Though she might be a bit shy initially, Susie warms up beautifully with kindness and patience. Once comfortable, she loves being held and showered with affection, forming strong bonds with those she trusts. She coexists well with other dogs, particularly smaller ones, but larger dogs can make her nervous. Susie is also good with cats and would thrive best in a home with older, respectful children or adults. While she is working on her pad training and sometimes uses her puppy pads, she is also learning to potty outside. At night, Susie sleeps soundly in her crate, adjusting well to her routine. Seeking a sweet, sensitive puppy willing to return love and loyalty? Susie will be spayed, up-to-date on vaccinations, and ready for her new adventure in a caring home. If you're ready to help her build confidence, Susie might just be the tiny best friend you've been looking for. Click apply to start the adoption process.
