About Christy

Christy joined us at just 6 weeks old, along with her brother Benny and their mom, Dotty. She came with one eye that was underdeveloped and non-functional, leading our vet to recommend its removal to prevent future issues. Despite this, Christy is a cheerful and spirited little girl who thrives with her one eye. She has an endearing nature, is incredibly cuddly, and loves to play. Mom is a scruffy terrier, and her possible dad, who arrived with them, is a long-haired Chihuahua mix. Christy was born around September 12 and is expected to weigh about 10 lbs when fully grown. She gets along well with children, making her a great addition to a family. Ready to meet Christy?
