Female
Small (6-20 lbs)
Status: Adopted

Hello, I am Magpie, an adorable Chihuahua mix who is about 7-8 years old. My foster family thinks that I am “quite a catch” because I am so easy going and easy to get along with. I am friendly to all dogs, both those I know and those that I don’t know. In fact, I take a lot of my social cues from other dogs, so I will be most happy in a home with another friendly family dog or two who can make me feel more at home. I have not always been treated kindly in the past and it appears that I may have spent a lot of time in a cage and having puppies, but despite that, I am very loving with people. I have an intense need for contact with people, and I am very “velcro”, so I need someone who will hold and pat me and make me feel safe. I am very sensitive so I need gentle guidance and I am very easy to train. I very much want to please my people and do the right thing. I like both men and women (fine with strangers) and I adore the teenage boy in my foster home, so I will probably do fine in a home with older children. Active noisy little children may be too much for me. I would probably be most happy in a quiet setting. I rarely bark and I am house trained. Oh, did I mention that I am also fine with cats? I ride well in the car. I am quite perky without any obvious signs of arthritis, and I can go on long walks. I can easily go up and down stairs. I weigh about 14 pounds, but I need to lose a couple more to have my girl-ish shape again. I am spayed, microchipped and up to date on all my shots. Please consider me!
