Ophelia

Description

Animal Information: Ophelia is a super sweet, four-year-old, 5-pound Chihuahua with an adorable little face and the cutest tiny frame. This precious girl ended up at the shelter as a stray, and when no one came to claim her, she was at risk of euthanasia due to overcrowding. The shelter staff shared what a friendly, gentle little dog Ophelia is and how well she gets along with both people and other dogs. We knew we had to help, and can't wait to meet this tiny sweetheart. Foster Profile: Sweet Ophelia has officially settled into the PNW and is ready to find her forever home! Ophelia is a tiny lap dog who loves pets, cozy blankets, and finding the sunniest spot in the yard for a good nap. She is a little shy and low energy and would be happy spendig her day curled up with her person.  She does great in her crate and sleeps quietly through the night. She seems to have previous experience with potty training and goes immediately outside, but does best on a schedule. On leash, she doesn't pull at all but often pauses to investigate new sights and sounds before continuing to trot nicely beside you.  She scarfs down her wet food but grazes on dry food through the day. She is starting to learn her name and show slight interest in toys. She hasn't met dogs, kids, or cats, in foster care, but shows no reaction when seeing them outside. She can be shy initially with new people, but quickly finds herself on their lap for pets.  If you're looking for a quiet gal to keep your lap warm and your sun spots occupied, Ophelia may be your match.  Adoption Info: Adoption fee is $575 which includes spay/neuter, core vaccinations Rabies and DPPV per AVMA standards, any indicated preventative care, heartworm test, microchip with lifetime registration, and recent health check with a veterinarian.
