About Lemon

Lemon is a sweet 4-year-old Chihuahua mix who came to the shelter after being found as a stray. Initially overwhelmed by the chaos, she curled up and trembled in fear. With some time to decompress, her gentle nature began to emerge. Shy and submissive at first, Lemon is eager to make friends and responds well to kindness and patience. She's friendly with both people and other dogs, making her a perfect candidate for a fresh start in a loving home. This playful little cutie enjoys her crate and is doing well with potty training. She needs an adoptive family with at least one other resident dog to help her learn the ropes of dog life. New situations can be challenging for Lemon; she often retreats into her crate when meeting new people. A patient adopter who offers encouragement without coddling will help build her confidence. Lemon enjoys walks, playing with toys, and cuddling up for some quality snuggle time. She's ready for someone to show her the world. Lemon is currently located in Bothell, WA.
