About Judy

Meet Judy, a delightful 13-year-old Chihuahua, who embodies all the classic Chihuahua traits. At first, she can come off as a touch sassy, but once she knows you, her sweet side shines through. Judy enjoys her independence and appreciates it when her personal space is respected. She adores spending time sitting close to her favorite person and enjoys gentle petting on her own terms. Judy loves her walks, but with a few limitations due to her age, she sometimes requires her stroller for longer outings. Don't let her age fool you; she has a zest for life and strives to keep up with every adventure, though her back legs might have other ideas! Judy is currently bonded with her friend Jack, and they’re searching for a loving home together. She thrives in a calm environment that can offer patience and understanding, especially as she navigates her senior years. Judy also gets along well with cats, making her a good fit for a multi-pet household. Her ideal family will cherish her endearing personality and give her the companionship she deserves. This is a courtesy post for Judy and Jack, so if you're ready to open your heart and home to this special duo, please submit an application through Happy Paws Haven. This could be the start of something paw-some.
