About Jill

Jill is a sweet Chihuahua mix who has had a challenging start as an abandoned puppy. This background has made her quite shy, but once she warms up, you’ll find a loyal companion for life. While she prefers to stay grounded, lounging next to you for petting rather than being picked up, she has a calm demeanor and enjoys her own space. Jill is not a furniture jumper; her cozy bed is her favorite spot to relax. An outdoor fenced area would be ideal for her to explore and run around. She gets along well with the other dogs in her foster home, although there’s no known history with cats. Jill is mostly house trained; she willingly goes outside, and she has the benefit of being potty pad trained for any occasional accidents. She will need a loving, calm household, ideally with older children, and someone patient and understanding. While she can bark a bit outside, she responds well when called. Could you provide Jill with her forever home? Her adoption fee is $175. Jill is spayed, up to date on all vaccinations, and on heartworm preventive. Ready to fall in love?
