Little Star #1 | 2-Year-Old Chihuahua Mix | A Tiny Survivor with a Heart of Gold
Little Star may have had a difficult start in life, but she hasn't let it dampen her loving spirit. Rescued from a neglect and cruelty case, this incredibly sweet Chihuahua mix is ready to leave the past behind and find the forever family she deserves.
People are Little Star's favorite thing in the world! She loves everyone she meets and happily accepts all the pets and attention she can get. While she gets along well with dogs of all sizes, she's much more interested in making human friends than canine ones.
This gentle, low-energy girl enjoys short walks, car rides, and relaxing next to her favorite person on the couch. She's house trained with access to a dog door, walks nicely on a leash, and has done wonderfully when left home alone for a few hours. She has a sweet habit of offering her paw for pets and rolling over for belly rubs.
Little Star is still learning what it means to simply be a dog. She's just beginning to learn basic commands, isn't interested in toys yet, and continues to gain confidence every day. Despite having experienced severe neglect and malnutrition, she is trusting, affectionate, and not food aggressive—a true testament to her forgiving nature.
Her ideal home is with someone who has a big heart and will appreciate what an incredibly loving companion she is. Little Star is proof that second chances can lead to the happiest endings.
If you and the dog are a good match then we'll connect you with our dog's foster parents to chat more in-depth. If both you and the foster agree that the dog is a good fit then a meet and greet is scheduled. We require applicants' dogs to meet ours to ensure they get along. We'll ask you to read and sign our adoption agreement and pay the adoption fee to complete the adoption when it comes time. Our adoption fees help cover the costs of saving more lives! A home visit will be scheduled within one week of your new pet going home with you.
The adoption fee for this pet is $400. Our adoption fee covers the following:
Spay/neuter
Microchip
DAPP vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Rabies vaccinations as age-appropriate for the dog.
Adopters shall be responsible for all vaccinations after adoption.
