About Donna

Meet Donna! She’s a sweet Chihuahua/Beagle mix looking for a very special forever home with her sister, Dorothy. Donna and Dorothy are a bonded pair that must be adopted together. These two have been through a lot, so having each other is crucial for their comfort and security. They are nervous and sensitive girls, requiring patient adopters who understand that trust takes time. With the right family, we believe they will continue to blossom. At around two years old, Donna is slowly learning the joys of a safe and loving environment. She may be shy and won't rush up to greet you right away, but with love, consistency, and patience, she can learn to trust. A calm, predictable household would suit her best. Both girls were surrendered after living outside, and now they're adjusting to life indoors. They need a safe haven where they can feel secure and thrive. If you think you can be the caring family that Donna and Dorothy deserve, please submit your application today!
