Meet Locket, a delightful 2-3 year-old, 8-pound Chihuahua who embodies the saying that big things come in small packages. This quirky little dog has a larger-than-life personality despite her dainty size. Locket's journey began when she arrived at Doggie Protective Services earlier this year with some mobility issues due to bilateral grade 4 luxating patellas. After undergoing surgery and healing in loving foster homes, she is now ready to find her forever family. Locket is sweet, gentle, and a bundle of joy, bringing smiles to everyone she meets. She has charmed five different foster families this summer, proving she's easy to care for and a pleasure to have around. At home, she transforms into a princess, relocating her toys everywhere and enjoying playful bursts of energy. Her favorite pastime? Snuggling up for morning cuddles. Locket is also remarkably independent; she can comfortably settle in her pen for up to 8 hours without making a sound. This little explorer is great with other dogs, although she appreciates a little personal space. While she’s not overly demanding with exercise, Locket is learning to enjoy outdoor strolls and is working on her leash skills. She’s also an excellent travel companion—visiting stores, restaurants, and even concerts in the park without a fuss. Although she's a bit cautious in new situations, her bravery grows each day. Locket may have a unique walking style due to her orthopedic history, but she is not in pain and is ready to be the loving companion you’ve been seeking. With her impressive charm and an undeniable flair for the adorable, Locket is ready to be your forever princess. Click apply to start the adoption process.
