Alma

My story

Say hello to Alma! Alma is an approximately two-year-old, eight-pound female Chihuahua mix, adoptable through Chi Town Rescue in Phx., Az. Alma came to the rescue after being humanely trapped as a fearful stray. She spent a few weeks in a temporary foster home until the rescue had room to take her in. Alma's temporary foster mom says she is very shy but very sweet once she gets over her initial shyness. That is what we have observed at the shelter so far as well. Alma won't be the dog that hops right in your lap; she will hang back a bit and observe. Once Alma does decide you can pet her though, she is happy for lap time and cuddles. Alma has done well with other dogs she's met so far at the shelter. A dog in her new home may help her adjust faster to a new environment. Alma is looking for a patient home who will go slow and allow her the time she needs to decompress from the big changes she's been through recently. If you think you may be the home for Alma, send us an email at chitownrescue@gmail.com. Alma's adoption fee includes spay surgery, vaccinations up to date including Rabies certificate, and microchip.March 27, 2026, 6:44 pm
