About Dora

Dora is currently in a foster home near Richmond, NH, and is available for meet and greets with approved applications. As the last of the Mini Dumbo Sisters, Dora is one of three adorable pups who embody sweetness and playfulness. Found wandering in South Texas without their parents, these Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mixes are now ready to steal hearts. At about 9-10 weeks old and around 3 lbs each, they won't grow much larger than 10-13 lbs. Dora stands out with her striking black and white coat and a lively personality. Unlike her shyer sister, Pebbles, she loves attention and is quick to shower people with tiny puppy kisses. Eager to learn and grow, Dora is in search of a family that values interaction and fun. These tiny girls thrive in moderately active households with gentle children. While they haven’t been house-trained yet due to their young age, they’re working on it, and training should be a collaborative effort between them and their new families. They generally get along well with cats and other dogs, making them adaptable companions. Dora, Trixie, and Pebbles are looking for loving homes where they can flourish as cherished pets. Don’t miss the chance to welcome this sweet girl into your life!
