About Chili

Chili is a lively 2-3 year old spayed female mixed breed, weighing in at just 8 pounds. She's a delightful mix that might include Chihuahua, Terrier, and Toy Poodle. Rescued from an overcrowded shelter, this little ball of energy is full of personality and charm. Chili loves to chat with her adorable voice and thrives on playtime, especially with her stuffed toys. Watch her leap and bounce like Tigger; she can jump up to 3 feet! While she's friendly and outgoing, loud noises can send her scurrying for cover, revealing that someone may have been heavy-handed with her in the past. Although she can be a bit feisty with other dogs, she gets along well with cats, despite being much smaller. It's essential that any canine companions are tolerant of her spirited nature. Chili adores kids, but due to her tiny size, families with children aged 8 years and older would be the best fit. With a long life ahead, she's ready to bring joy into someone's home.
