About Livvy

Meet Livvy, your new little shadow! This one-and-a-half-year-old Chihuahua weighs just eight pounds, proving that the best things really do come in small packages. Livvy is sweet and quiet, affectionate once she settles in, and she’s an expert in being adorable. She loves snuggling, exploring calm corners of the home, and keeping you company. If food is around, expect her to show up quickly. This little lady prefers cozy movie nights over wild parties. Livvy gets along well with other dogs, including her foster's Chihuahua, and she’s open to sharing her space with furry friends. She enjoys gentle interactions with older kids but is still mastering potty training and leash skills as she adjusts to the bustling city life. A calm to moderate household with some experienced adopters would suit her best, especially since she's a great fit for apartment living. Previously, Livvy tested positive for heartworm but received treatment before traveling north. She's ready to find her forever home! What her foster says: "Big personality? Maybe. Big dog? Definitely not! At just 8 pounds, this little Southern lady is proof that the best things really do come in small packages." Give her the home she has been waiting for. Apply today!
