Jacinta

The rescue’s notes on Jacinta

Hello my name is Jacinta (Tina for short) and I'm looking for my perfect home! I'm a 5 year old, 11 pound little girl, with lots of love and attention to give. My favorite thing in the world is to cuddle up next to my humans on a comfy couch or chair, especially under the blanket. I love to be scratched on my face and head. I'm a medium-low energy gal and don't always require daily walking. A 15 minute walk or indoor play is all I really need. I don't exactly like the rain or cold. I may have a little harder time going potty outside when it's raining, but my foster mom is able to work around that pretty easily. Having a little covered area outside to potty under could make this even easier. I'm currently doing a great job of going potty outside on a consistent schedule, but schedule or location changes can cause some accidents. Something I'm great at no matter the weather is my kennel! I love having my own kennel area to go in and out of when I want. I do great sleeping quietly in my kennel when I'm home alone, even for extended periods like a work day. I'm also pretty quiet for a chihuahua, only barking when I see something walk by outside or hear other barking while I'm at home ! As far as other pets go I seem to be fine around cats, but I would probably do best with cats that are comfortable around dogs. I also do well around dogs my size but I prefer that they not get right up in my face. I haven't met any kids yet but most likely I'd be a little nervous around younger kids, but likely would get used to them over time as long as they're gentle. Also, I do pretty well in the car. Finally, I'll admit I don't have much obedience training. I could use maybe a class or some at home training if you'd like me to learn how to sit, stay, leash manners, etc. But so far this hasn't really been an issue for my foster humans since I'm sweet as pie! If I sound like the perfect match please apply to adopt me!
