About Pumpkin Spice

Meet Pumpkin Spice, the sweetest little treat from the world of fall! This senior Chihuahua is like a pumpkin pie topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon, bringing heaps of love wherever she goes. Her favorite spot? Curled up in a lap, blissfully snoozing away. With a calm demeanor, she’s rarely vocal and transitions easily to her nighttime crate after a few moments of comfort. Pumpkin Spice is completely house trained, gently sitting by the door when it’s time to head outside. While she enjoys brief outdoor moments with her favorite human, this cuddle-loving pup prefers cozy couch time over adventurous outings. As a tiny one, she does fine on a leash but isn’t suited for lengthy walks, and it’s best to avoid stairs when possible. Although she might be a bit shy in new situations, she remains non-aggressive and enjoys being handled. She’s a work-in-progress on her “sit” command, is not too interested in toys, and has a few preferences when it comes to food. Her experience with other dogs, cats, and children is yet to be explored, so careful introductions will be necessary. If evenings of warmth, sweet snuggles, and cozy vibes sound like your cup of tea, Pumpkin Spice could be the perfect fit. This lovely girl is eager to leave the pumpkin patch behind for her forever home, ready to be your cuddle companion all year long. Make every season feel like sweater weather with this delightful pup!
