Candy Chihuahua & Terrier Mix Minneapolis, MN

Meet Candy, as sweet as her namesake. She’s an 11-lb bundle of cuteness ready to steal your heart. She loves hanging out with her people and getting pets and love as much as she gives it. She is particularly shy so does need slow introductions to new people and other pets, slow introductions are especially important when adjusting to new places.

Candy currently lives with senior dogs in her current foster home. She would most likely flourish with a non-aggressive smaller dog (her size) to learn and grow with in her confidence. Otherwise, she’d do well as a solo dog if given the attention she needs to come out of her shell. She loves to get her outdoor time, running circles around a fenced yard.

Candy came to rescue with little training, but is getting to be fully potty trained and working on her leash walking. With continued training she’ll excel in her forever home. She is still getting used to city noises and tends to bark at unfamiliar sounds so would do best in a home with no shared walls as she also exhibits some initial frustration when you’re not around. She loves her people but will stop vocalizing her fear of missing out when you leave after a bit.

Will you be the best home for Candy? She requires a patient adopter who can give her time with her shyness, go out with her to a fenced yard to help her graduate from potty training and be ready when she needs to be petted & praised. And then to let her run.
