Meet Chiquita

Meet Chiquita , a gentle and shy Chihuahua mix with a quiet spirit and a deeply loving heart. She came from a severe hoarding situation, and because of that, the world can still feel a little overwhelming to her at first. New people and environments take time, and Chiquita needs patience, understanding, and space to feel safe. But once you earn her trust, something truly beautiful happens. When Chiquita finds her person, she begins to blossom into a sweet and devoted companion. Her soft affection and quiet loyalty make every small step forward feel incredibly special. The bond she forms is deep and lasting, built on trust and kindness. Chiquita would thrive in a calm, peaceful home where she can continue to grow at her own pace. She would especially love having another gentle dog by her side to help her feel more confident, along with a securely fenced yard where she can explore safely. With time, love, and a little patience, Chiquita will show you just how much love she has to give. Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home. ***Be sure to check your spam/junk folder as sometimes our emails end up there
