About Chai

Chai loves to catch your attention by standing on her back legs, ready for some love. Abandoned in a yard with her sister Maple, they were rescued and brought to a safe space to thrive. At around 7 months old and just 6.5 pounds, Chai is expected to mature to between 7 and 9 pounds. With her fluffy white coat and the charm of a Chihuahua mix, she’s hard to resist. Her foster describes Chai as calm and affectionate. She enjoys cuddling and will happily rest her head on your knee, soaking in the affection. Chai isn’t overly clingy; she also appreciates her personal space but loves belly rubs—especially from children, as seen when she rolled onto her back next to a toddler on the rug. She can be a bit skittish, so a patient home environment will help her flourish. Chai is looking for a caring person who will notice her waiting patiently, ideally someone who has kids to share best moments on the rug. There’s a special place for her in a loving home.
