About Blossom

Blossom is a charming 3-month-old fawn Chihuahua mix, weighing just 2 pounds. She arrived at AFC alongside her brother Bernie after her previous family found themselves overwhelmed with 18 dogs. Thankfully, a dedicated foster stepped in to give them a chance at a better life. Blossom is on track to be spayed soon and has already been vaccinated and microchipped. While she knows the command "Come," she has primarily been an outdoor dog, and will need some patience as she adjusts to her new indoor lifestyle. A secure, fenced yard is essential for her safety, and due to her small size, she would do best in a home without children under 6— agile adults will suit her best. This little lovebug is eager to find her forever home. Are you ready to welcome Blossom into your heart? Click apply to start the adoption process.
