About Libby

Meet Libby, a seasoned expert at napping and part-time Chihuahua who’s all about doing things at her own pace. At 10 years old, she enjoys lounging on her cozy dog bed and reminding everyone that rushing is not her style. Libby may have a severe case of luxating patellas and some significant arthritis, but that doesn't slow her down too much. She maneuvers surprisingly well, thanks to her monthly Librela injections that help manage her discomfort. Given her small frame—around 5 pounds—it's crucial she stays at a healthy, lean weight to minimize stress on her delicate joints. With a Chihuahua’s typical disposition, you won't find Libby running to greet strangers. She can be hesitant when meeting new people and will take time to build trust. The right adopter will understand her need for patience and a calm approach. Once you’ve earned her trust, Libby is an easygoing companion. She doesn’t need a bustling lifestyle; a peaceful home and a comfy bed are all she really wants. Libby is looking for a quiet environment without children under 15, with someone committed to her ongoing care and health. This little lady might not jump into your arms right away, and she appreciates those who respect her boundaries. If you’re willing to let her take her time, you’ll find a loyal friend ready to spend her golden years by your side. Could you be the right match for Libby?
