My story

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Chica – Small but Mighty with a Side of Sass!  Gulfport, MS | Apply with Tired Dog Rescue 8 lbs | 10 years old | Spayed Female | Brindle Chihuahua Chica may be tiny, but this 8-pound brindle beauty is packed with personality! She’s a senior gal who knows what she likes—cozy laps, calm environments, and being close to her person once trust is earned. It only took Chica about an hour to warm up to her foster after being given space, and now she’s the ultimate snuggle bug. She gets along well with small dogs and has even started initiating play with them. Bigger dogs, however, seem to intimidate her, so a home without large dogs would be ideal. She’s been fine sharing lap time with her tiny foster sister, so we think she’ll thrive with another chill little dog—especially one that respects her space. Chica does best in a calm, adult-only home with someone who understands the quirks of the Chihuahua breed. She’s currently rated a 5 on the Fear, Anxiety, and Stress Scale, which means she can become reactive (lunging or biting) when scared or overwhelmed. But with patience, love, and structure, she blossoms into a devoted companion. Medical Info: • Allergic dermatitis and pododermatitis – manageable with routine care   Chica may not be the type to charm the whole neighborhood, but for the right person, she’ll be a loyal little shadow who steals your heart. If you believe in giving seniors a second chance, Chica might just be your perfect pint-sized partner.
