Beatrix's Story

Beatrix / F / 11Y/ 6.5lbs / Chihuahua / Fostered in Owen Sound <br/><br/>Beatrix came to us from a shelter after her previous owner was incarcerated. This sassy girl has so much love to give and is ready to find a devoted companion to spend her golden years with.<br/><br/>Beatrix is the ultimate cuddle bug. Her favourite place in the world is snuggled up on the couch with her person, especially when they're scratching her back - she'll bounce up and down with pure joy! She's calm, quiet, and remarkably well-mannered. She doesn't bark when people enter the house and is generally content to relax and enjoy your company. When she does want to play, she'll gently mouth your hand - that's her sweet way of engaging with you.<br/><br/>Beatrix is fully crate trained and sleeps peacefully through the night in her crate, waiting patiently until you open the gate in the morning. She's also potty trained and will go outside first, though she's been using pee pads during the cold weather (she's definitely not a fan of the cold!). She's trusted to free roam during the day and can be left alone without issue - she's been left for up to 8 hours once a week with no problems and no separation anxiety.<br/><br/>Beatrix has a grade 2 heart murmur that requires no medication at this time. During her spay, a mammary mass was removed and biopsied. It was identified as a Grade 1 adenocarcinoma with clean margins, which means there is very low risk of metastasis or regrowth. No further treatment is recommended, though her new family should monitor closely for any new masses. She is scheduled for a dental cleaning with extractions on February 12th and will be ready to go home once she's healed from that procedure.<br/><br/>Beatrix thinks she owns the house and will occasionally growl at the cats in her foster home, though she has never hurt them. This is something she's working on, and she'd likely do best as the only pet or with calm, small dogs who respect her space (she is nervous of dogs larger than her). She is great when meeting new people. Kids 14+ <br/><br/>Beatrix would thrive with someone who is home during the day and can give her the attention and companionship she deserves at this stage of life. She prefers couch cuddles over walks and she would be fine in a house or an apartment.<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Beatrix, please complete an adoption application on our website.
