About Irene

Irene is a young female Chihuahua looking for a calm and understanding home. Having come to the shelter with several other dogs after her owner passed away, she has faced some challenges. Irene can be a bit fearful and unsure around new people, so she needs time to build her trust. A patient home that allows her to adjust at her own pace is crucial for her well-being. Due to her sensitivity, Irene would do best in a home without small children, as fast movements and too much handling can be overwhelming for her. With a gentle touch and encouragement, she can learn that new experiences can lead to love and safety. Give Irene the opportunity to thrive in a loving environment where she feels secure.
