Looking for a small sized buddy? We've got the most ADORABLE one for you! 

Tilly is a 6  pound adult/Chihuahua mix. She's approximately two years old This pretty girl may be a little afraid and jittery in the beginning, so she will need some time and patience from you. Yet once she comes out of her shell, Tilly will dote on you and adore you forever. She is so affectionate and sweet, and comes with a fun little bonus--she is trained to let you know when she wants to be picked up and snuggled! Just imagine, you and Tilly could be two peas in a pod together. 

A home which has previous experience with small dogs, especially Chihuahuas, is preferable.  Tilly will blossom with someone who understands her breed characteristics and temperament--don't we all want someone who speaks our language?

Tilly gets along well with dogs and cats, although big dogs make her a little nervous. She would do well as an only pet or with pet siblings who are either older or relaxed and tranquil; a puppy or a high energy dog would likely clash with her slower and gentle nature. She likes a peaceful environment, where she can rest, follow you around, and look out the window as she pleases. We do ask that she go to a home with older children only please (12+)

Think you're Tilly's perfect pair? Reach out to us before someone else snatches up this sweet baby!
