About Hope

Hope is a lively 10-month-old Chihuahua mix weighing in at just 8 lbs. She's had a challenging start to life, having battled a severe case of mange, but thanks to the care she received, she's on the mend and her personality shines through. With her golden, short coat coming back nicely, she’s ready to find her forever home. This little girl is playful and social, loving attention from her humans above all. While she enjoys the company of other dogs, she prefers being the center of attention, so an only-dog home could be ideal for her. Hope is pad trained and can adapt to a crate as needed. In her current setup, she feels secure in a gated area when left alone. She's eager to join you on walks and outings, bringing her playful spirit along. Hope gets along with other dogs and cats, but her experience with young children is limited. If you're interested in adopting a sweet companion, feel free to reach out to learn more about her journey. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
