Chicken Soup is a tiny black Mini Schanuzer mix with a huge heart and a story that will make you root for her. This 3 year old, 10-lb Terrier mix came to us from the shelter with her nursing babies, and she took her role as a mama very seriously. Now that her puppies are weaned and ready for homes of their own, it's finally Chickie's turn to be someone's cherished companion.

Chickie starts her day around 7 a.m. with a potty break, followed by breakfast at 9. It only took her a week to figure out that pottying is reserved for outdoors now that she is away from her babies, and she happily does her business in the yard.. She's blossomed into a happy, easygoing little dog who settles nicely into a routine.

She loves being close to her people and prefers to keep tabs on her humans at all times. Chickie is incredibly affectionate and loves curling up next to everyone in the family, especially if belly rubs are involved. She also has a playful side and enjoys a good game of fetch. Her favorite toy is Lambchop, and she takes playtime very seriously- in the cutest way possible.

Chickie is respectful of the three dogs in her foster home and enjoys playing with them appropriately. She hasn't been crated and doesn't need it. When left alone, she may whine for about five minutes, then settles. On walks, she's good on leash and enjoys getting out, though she will bark at other dogs she sees. She may also bark briefly at new people, but it doesn't last long once she realizes there's nothing to worry about.

She has no bad habits, is very smart, and is highly food motivated, making her a great candidate for learning tricks or continuing basic training. Chickie's ideal home will happily lavish her with playtime, affection, and attention, and enjoy having a loyal little companion who wants to be part of everything.

After taking such good care of her babies, Chicken Soup is ready to be spoiled. She's a sweet, playful, loving girl who will make a wonderful addition to the right home.
