About Little Girl

Meet Little Girl, a tiny Chihuahua with a big heart and an even bigger personality! At just 5 pounds, she is currently recovering from a broken leg but is receiving excellent care and hopes to be back on her paws soon. Though small, Little Girl is full of character and charm. She's happy to coexist with both dogs and cats, enjoying the company of her larger friends. Her favorite spot is right on a lap or cozy in a sling with one of her humans, so be prepared for some close companionship. When she's not being carried, she follows you everywhere, making her presence known. Little Girl is housetrained but may need a bit of patience while adjusting to a new environment. She's a picky eater, often preferring to nibble on whatever her humans are having—though she'll eat her own food too. Like many Chihuahuas, she has her opinions and will let you know when she feels she’s been left alone for too long. However, give her a warm blanket, and you might not hear a peep from her as she loves to burrow. Little Girl is eager to find a caring family that will cherish her while she heals. Might you be the one to give her the forever home she deserves?
