Meet Priscilla, a gentle and curious three-year-old Chihuahua who weighs just six pounds. She’s exceptionally sweet and learning to trust those around her, even falling asleep in her foster's lap. Her quiet demeanor means her foster hasn't heard her bark at all. Priscilla is low energy and has had no potty accidents inside; she sleeps soundly at night and relaxes in her playpen when left alone.
