About Trudy

Meet Trudy! This sweet senior Chihuahua, estimated to be 12 years old, is ready to charm her way into your heart. Trudy loves food—meals, treats, and sneaky snacks are her love language. Since arriving a bit thin, she’s been happily gaining a little weight and is looking forward to more delicious moments. When she’s not thinking about her next bite, you’ll find her snuggled up on a warm lap. At the shelter, Trudy was a touch unsure during her initial dog introductions, but with a bit of time and gentle introductions, she has warmed up to her 30-pound Sheltie housemate just fine. She mostly ignores the cats, as long as they respect her space; a little grumble here and there is all she needs to assert herself. Trudy has completed stage 1 of her dental treatment successfully and is awaiting stage 2 and her spay procedure to continue enjoying her best life. Your next best friend is just a click away.
