Description:
Nassau came from a high kill shelter. She is vaccinated, fixed, and all ready to go home with you! the vet says he believes that she is full grown so if you want a tiny but sturdy little young lady in your family, she is the one for you. She is crate/house trained, uses the large doggie door easily and is a very easy going, small full grown (the vet thinks)  young lady! 

We refer to Nassau and Osceola as "siblings," although they're not actually related. They are intelligent, extremely loving dogs who want nothing more than to be cuddled and fed. They are UNlike our common perception of Chihuahuas: they rarely bark, and they are not exhibiting any signs of "small dog syndrome" at this time. I honestly am quite surprised at how mellow they are. They have every reason to be hyperactive - they are very young, after all- but they continually surprise us by their more mature attitudes. Our cats are not a problem all, if you are a cat owner.

These pups do NOT need to be adopted together, although they really enjoy each other's company. They are independent and will be great alone or as a companion to another dog. 

While the foster went on a short vacation, they went to another foster's home, where they easily blended in to their new environment. The temporary fosters said: "They are so loving and cute and happy to please. They are also remarkably quiet for this breed blend and never yappy.  They will make such a great addition to a family."

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Chihuahua is the oldest breed on the American continent and the smallest breed in the world. Native to Mexico, nonetheless it seems to have been introduced by the Chinese. It was only brought to Europe at the end of the nineteenth century. The Chihuahua is named after the Mexican state of Chihuahua where he was brought to the rest of the world by travelers. This breed is believed to have been sacred to the Pre-Columbian Indian nations. The Chihuahua is a popular, economical companion dog. Courageous, extremely lively, proud and enterprising, it gives and demands affection. Bold and saucy, it moves swiftly to avoid being stepped on. Chihuahua's are strong-willed, intensely loyal and become very attached to their owners, even to the point of jealousy. They like to lick their owner's faces. It is undeniably suspicious of people except for its owner. When strangers are present, it follows its owner's every move, keeping as close as possible. This breed may snap at teasing children, after all it is too tiny to get away. The Chihuahua must resort to his sharp teeth in self defense. It is not recommended for children. He can be noisy and may require patience to housebreak. Many owners simply paper train this breed. The Chihuahua hates the cold and may shiver, although this may be due to high metabolism as much as temperature or anxiety. It will tolerate and even appreciate a warm sweater on cooler days. They are good little dogs for apartment life. Although it is tempting to carry these dainty creatures about, they will keep fitter if taken for walks. A body harness is safer than a collar. Don't think that just because he is small he should be confined to a small space. Chihuahuas have a life expectancy of 15 or more years.
