My story

Cardi-mom is a female black and white with tan rat terrier or rat/chihuahua or similar mix. We estimate her to be 2-4 years old and she weighs 14 lbs. Cardi is spayed, vaccinated and heartworm negative. She is ready for adoption on 4/18/2026. Cardi-mom was surrendered to a Louisiana shelter along with several other dogs 2/12/2026. She began labor within 24 hrs which proved to have complications, necessitating immediate help from a rescue. After we got Cardi quick medical intervention, she came away with 3 beautiful tiny boys. Cardi has been the most loving and precious mom. She has also been a smart, skilled mom. Cardi navigated maturing her puppies and teaching them what they need to know better than most. Cardi has shown herself to be friendly and loving toward new people, allowing them to meet her puppies and love on her. Cardi has also met other dogs nicely. She loves toys and wants her puppies to have toys. Cardi also enjoys playing with her little boys and will look forward to a playful sweet dog friend or a home with lots of toys.
