About Britney

Britney is eager for a home where she can shine as the star! This adorable blind Chihuahua weighs 10 pounds and is estimated to be around 5-6 years old. She came to the rescue after a challenging past in a hoarding situation in Connecticut, yet she radiates happiness and affection. Navigating her environment with impressive skill, Britney adapts well despite her neurological condition, which affects her balance and coordination. She may take a little time to adjust to a new setting, but once settled, she shows her delightful personality. Though she does enjoy the company of other dogs, Britney prefers a quieter household with only 1-2 companions, as she’s not keen on sharing her space with too many others. She can be possessive about her resting space and food, behaviors stemming from her past experiences. Britney is spayed, up to date on her vaccinations, and ready for a loving home where she can be your treasured companion. If you think you can provide that special space for her, reach out and take the first step toward adopting this sweet girl!
