About Marge

Meet Marge, a darling 5-year-old Chihuahua who tips the scales at a mere 6 pounds. She is a sweet soul but can be quite timid and shy. Marge needs an understanding family that can offer her the time and space she requires to feel secure. Once she starts to trust, she blossoms into a loving little snuggle bug who prefers curling up with her people at night. This little sweetheart is already housebroken and knows how to use potty pads if necessary. Marge gets along well with dogs, cats, and even children, though a home with older, calmer kids would be the best fit for her sensitive nature. Sudden noises and quick movements can be intimidating for her, so a serene environment will help her gain confidence at her own pace. Marge is spayed, fully vaccinated, and ready to become a cherished member of a loving family. Her journey to trust may take time, but those who give her that patience will be rewarded with one of the sweetest companions around. Think you can provide the calm home she needs?
