About Debby

Meet Debby! At just 2 years old, this lovely Chihuahua is a bundle of joy and affection. She adores cuddles, takes her sweet time unwinding, and has a soft spot for bath time; it’s practically a spa day for her! When you take her outside, she enjoys chasing squirrels with enthusiasm. Debby is housebroken but might need a quick refresher after her time outdoors. She previously lived outside with two other dogs, and her owner made the tough choice to surrender them so they could thrive indoors—somewhere warm and secure. Debby has experience living with both dogs and cats, and she gets along well with them. However, she can be anxious around loud noises, like fireworks, so ensuring her comfort during such events is important. While Debby has tested positive for heartworms and will require treatment, the wonderful news is that H.A.L.O. will cover all costs associated with her care. She's more than ready to settle into a calm home as she heals. If you’re looking for a loving companion to brighten your daily life, Debby may just be the one for you! Send in your application and let's get her home! Requirements include a Martingale Collar and participation in a Foster-To-Adopt program during her heartworm treatment.
