Chihuahuas are tiny dogs with big personalities, known for their confidence, loyalty, and affectionate nature. Despite their small size, they are bold and spirited, often acting as if they are much larger than they really are. An ideal home for a Chihuahua is one that provides gentle handling, consistent training, and lots of companionship. They thrive in apartments or houses alike, as long as they are kept safe and warm. Because they bond closely with their humans, they do best in homes where they aren’t left alone for long periods. Early socialization helps them feel comfortable with children and other pets, but their small size means they are safest in households where interactions are calm and respectful.<br/><br/>All About Isabella:<br/>Isabella is a healthy, fully potty-trained girl who doesn’t need a crate thanks to her impeccable manners. She walks nicely on a leash and enjoys both potty breaks on walks and sniffing around the yard. Isabella is wonderful with people and loves to snuggle, though she would do best with older, calmer kids due to her age and size. She gets along well with other dogs in her foster home and, with her calm demeanor, would likely do fine with cats too.<br/><br/>Isabella’s Highlights:<br/>• House trained, no crate needed<br/>• Dog-friendly, lives peacefully with several foster siblings<br/>• Loves people, prefers gentle, calm interactions<br/>• Lower energy, happiest snuggling and being loved<br/>• Timid at first, but blossoms with patience and trust<br/>• Adorable quirks, runs to her dog bed to be picked up, rolls over for belly rubs, and trots to bed at night for snuggles<br/>• Finding her voice, now makes cute “chi” barks and noises at dinnertime<br/>• Ideal home: quiet, patient household—best with a middle-aged or older individual or couple<br/><br/>Isabella is a sweet, loyal companion who’s still coming out of her shell. She may be reserved at first, but once she feels safe, she reveals her loving, snuggly side—and even a touch of diva charm. She’s ready to spend her golden years in a calm, caring home where she can be cherished for the gentle soul she is.<br/><br/>Comprehensive details are provided in the dog's description. to ensure a smooth process, please submit a completed application through our website at: http://crisisdogsnc.org/dog-adoption/.
