About Claire

Meet Claire! This charming 5-month-old Chihuahua is brimming with sweetness and adventure. Weighing just 6 lbs, she’s the perfect pocket-sized companion. Originally adopted as a tiny puppy, Claire and her sister Cami found themselves in need of a new home, due to circumstances beyond their control. We're dedicated to ensuring Claire finds a forever home where she'll be cherished for her entire life. Claire is playful and curious, enjoying her time with other dogs and has even passed her basic cat assessment. Although she can thrive in a home with older, responsible kids, due to her small size, it's best she avoids very young children to protect her from accidents. Potty training is going well for Claire, and she'll appreciate your patience as she settles into her new routine. Her big heart and vibrant personality more than make up for her size! This little girl is truly deserving of a loving home—could you be the one? Don’t wait; apply today! Claire’s higher adoption fee helps support the medical care of other underdogs in our rescue.
