About Vega

Vega is a young female Chihuahua who will be transported to New Jersey soon—available for adoption on the weekend of Nov. 14-15 at Tractor Supply in Ringoes. She was rescued last January, after being found abandoned with her siblings in the cold. Vega is the tiniest of the litter and has been working on overcoming her timid nature after some rough experiences. While she might shy away from new people, she’s gentle and allows handling, often enjoying quiet time in laps. Vega needs a patient home, ideally one without young children and with another dog who can guide her. Despite her cautious demeanor, there’s potential for her to blossom in a calm environment. She has been spayed and is up-to-date on all vaccinations and preventatives. Patience and training will be essential to help her feel safe and secure. Click apply to start the adoption process.
