Minnow

My story

Animal Profile: Minnow is an approximately a 1 year old 5 lb female, short haired Chihuahua  joining us from Stanislaus Modesto in California on 06/11/2025. Not much is known about this pint sized cutie, besides that she is adorable and those eyes are telling us she can't wait for some snuggles. We will share more about her as we get to know her in foster care.  Foster Update: Introducing Minnow, a spunky, spry, and snuggly 1 year old chihuahua. Minnow is tiny, but she is an eager adventurer and enjoys going for walks and hikes. She does like to snuggle and be near her person, but she won't be ready to cuddle up on the couch until she gets her wiggles out. Minnow loves to do zoomies in the yard, chew sticks, and chase balls that are larger than herself. Minnow walks fairly well on leash. Minnow does well with the large dogs in her foster home and has been neutral around other dogs on walks. She wouldn't mind another dog in her forever home, but she is person-oriented, and would be just as happy as an only dog. She recently went on a several mile pack walk with five other dogs and thoroughly enjoyed keeping up with the pack while minding her own business. Occasionally on a walk something will catch her by surprise and she'll bark, but she is very easily corrected. Minnow is extremely food motivated and will regularly check in with you if she knows you have treats on a walk.  Minnow is friendly with people and charms just about everyone she meets. She is working on basic obedience and potty training, and any adopter should be willing to continue her training. Minnow is crate trained, and does not bark when left alone. However, she can be vocal when her favorite people enter or leave the room, or if she suspects that the other dogs in the foster home are going on a walk without her. Minnow's vocal range varies from canary whistle to silent scream to sonic boom, so at this time we are not considering dwellings with shared walls.
