Beba was abandoned at a local vets office. They boarded her for a couple of days hoping the owner would come back to alas they called us and now she's looking for a forever home! Beba is a very sweet Chihuahua, she is good with other dogs and seems to do well in a less hectic enviroment. She gets a little nervous with lots of people and activity around. We hope to find her a GREAT home! Could it be yours?

 

Foster update: She slept in the crate overnight - quietly and no accidents. All wiggles when we got up this morning. Seems to be housebroken, but may be barky with other dogs when she in the crate, as she was with my dogs. She can stand on her hind legs for a long time!

 

Foster update 10/9: Beba os a Loving sweet little girl who i would have been happy to keep even though i only had her for one night. She gave me lots of kisses, laid in my lap and loved to be rocked in my rocking chair. Beba slept with me at night and overcame her nervousness the moment i scooped her up in my arms. When i walked her in my fenced yard beba saw the pook and made a running leep right into the middle of it. She swam to the side and is scooped her right up. She is housebroken and very loving towards people. On the other hand she did not do well with my 3 large labs. She was very agressive towards them and i can see she would do much better as an only dog home or with only little dogs. she has done well with dogs he size whom were very calm and just basically ignored her!
