Gina is a 7-month-old Chihuahua weighing just under 10 pounds, and she has absolutely no idea she's small. She's bright, expressive, and full of personality in the best way. She loves playing with dogs her size and has a hilarious habit of "smiling" and doing little dance moves when she's excited. Her wiggly tail is nonstop entertainment, and when playtime winds down, she's happiest curled up in a lap soaking up attention. Gina is crate trained and potty trained, which already puts her ahead of the game for a young pup. She prefers being carried or handled over long leash walks and is still gaining confidence with leashes, so a patient adopter who understands small-dog quirks will be key. She's affectionate, social, and thrives with people who enjoy having a little shadow by their side. Rescue story:Gina was found wandering near the woods during a freezing week in Houston. Thankfully, the person who found her was a dog rescuer, and she was brought to safety just in time. Now she's warm, loved, and ready for a home that will never let her be cold or alone again. Gina is small, but her presence is anything but. This dog is up to date on vaccinations and is spayed. (Please note: Puppies under 3 months old may not be sterilized prior to adoption.
