About Wendy

Wendy is an 8-year-old female Chihuahua mix looking for a new home after her owner passed away. Alongside her sister, Tinker, it's clear that these two were cherished pets, and now it's time for Wendy to enjoy her senior years in a loving environment. Wendy (also known affectionately as Tank) is a delightful ball of energy. She adores toys, always bringing her bed along wherever you go. While she’s perfectly content on her own, she loves a good selection of toys and the occasional belly rub. Housebroken and crate trained, Wendy will eagerly "kennel up" when asked. She mastered the dog door in no time at her foster home, proving she’s an easy keeper. Friendly and sociable, Wendy interacts well with dogs, cats, and kids, though she prefers older children. Known for her gentle demeanor, she has not displayed any aggressive behaviors at all. Her foster family even claims she’s one of the easiest fosters they’ve ever had! Wendy is spayed and up-to-date on all her vaccinations. Ready to give this sweet girl the home she deserves?
