About Chiquita

Chiquita is a charming little lady born on May 28, 2012, with a silver face and a heart full of love. This tiny Chihuahua has a knack for finding the coziest spots around the house, always eager to be close to her favorite person. She’s the type to curl up and keep you company while you read, watch TV, or enjoy a quiet cup of coffee. Rescued from the South, Chiquita has left her rambunctious days behind. Instead, she dreams of a serene home where she doesn’t have to deal with chaos. Instead, she prefers a peaceful environment filled with warm cuddles and gentle affection. If you have an empty spot on your couch and in your heart, Chiquita might just be the perfect companion for you. Chiquita is house trained and gets along well with both dogs and children. Her adoption fee is $200, which includes her spay, age-appropriate vaccinations, and testing. When you choose to adopt a senior pet through our "Senior to Senior" program, the fee is waived for senior citizens, making it easier to provide Chiquita with a loving home.
