About Smiley

Smiley is a gentle three-year-old Chihuahua mix, weighing just 7 pounds. She came from a hoarding situation and is a bit shy at first, but with patience, she warms up and shows her affectionate side. Smiley enjoys the company of other dogs and loves to spend time outdoors. One of her favorite pastimes is curling up in dog beds, where she builds her little nests before settling down for a cozy nap. Because of her small size, she might feel overwhelmed around very young children, so it's best if any kids in the home have experience with small dogs. Adoption may require special arrangements due to her background, but Smiley has a lot of love to give. Click apply to start the adoption process.
