About Dionne Arriving

Dionne Arriving is on a journey from a challenging situation with too many dogs and is now looking for her forever home. This two-year-old lady, a mix of Chihuahua and Rat Terrier, dreams of a safe, loving space where she can truly relax and be herself. She enjoys cuddling up on your lap during movie nights and will need a bit of time to warm up to new faces. Though she can be shy initially, her sweet personality shines once she feels secure. Dionne gets along with other dogs and would thrive with a canine companion to help her gain confidence. She has not yet met cats or children but is eager to learn. Currently, she is doing well with housetraining but will benefit from some socialization and basic training in manners such as 'sit', 'stay', and 'come'. If you’re patient and nurturing, she will repay you with endless affection. Dionne is currently in Princeton, MN, and is exclusively available through Ruff Start's Foster to Adopt Program.
