Description:

This sweet older lady is looking for a perfect home. She found herself alone in a pound and we knew we had to help her. She absolutely loves being allowed on car rides and loves walks even more. Top of her favorite things list is a good blanket! If she sees a blanket she will promptly find her way under it. She sleeps in her kennel and regardless of what kind of bedding she is given she finds a way to have herself rolled up like a burrito by morning. She gets along well with both dogs and cats. She is a GREAT listener and very eager to please. She knows the "kennel" command well. If you tell her to go to her kennel when she is snug as a bug under her blankets on the couch she goes immediately, but growls and grumbles the whole way there. She's like teenager who got sent to their room, loudly stomping up the stairs. It's quite cute and endearing. Her foster mom changed her name to "Rita" to tie back to her Hispanic roots as a Chihuahua. Rita is currenly trying to master some commands like "sientense" ( Spanish for sit). Another one of her great qualities is even unleashed she stays close to home and always comes when called. She hates vacuum cleaners and loves bones to chew. She is one to follow her person around the house especially when they are cooking. She takes very seriously her role to protect and watch over her person. She is a very sweet dog and would make a great companion!

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
