Lupe's Story

🚨SAD STORY LOOKING FOR A HAPPY ENDING🚨<br/><br/>Meet Lupe! She has spent her life watching from a kennel as her “owner” loved and spoiled her dog sibling while being completely discarded. It is our understanding that the sister had an abundance of doggie clothes, ate only the best food, and didn’t want for anything. Meanwhile Lupe, much like Cinderella watched and shook in her kennel. Poor Lupe has some lasting trauma from this ordeal and is reserved. She will need a special and patient family to show her the love she should have equally received from the start. She finds comfort in hiding under blankets and sleeping under the covers. Her foster momma says she asks “permission” to do things using her eyes and subtle cues. But ALWAYS finds comfort in a cozy blanket wrapped around her. Who out there wants to treat this beautiful girl as a princess and an equal member of their family with kindness’s consistency, patience, and love?!<br/><br/>Name: Lupe<br/>Age: 8 Years Old<br/>Sex: Female<br/>Breed: Chihuahua Mix<br/>Weight: 14 lbs <br/>Located In: Louisville, KY<br/>Temperament/ Energy Level: Low to Medium Shy energy<br/>Recommendation for Kids: Older that can respect her nervousness and not push her too quickly <br/>Relationship with Dogs: Yes<br/>Relationship with Cats: Yes<br/>Neutered/ Spayed: Yes<br/>Crate Trained: Yes, loves and finds comfort in it given her background especially if it’s covered<br/>House Trained: When taken out consistently <br/>Leash Trained: In Progress<br/>Fence Required: Preferred not required but needs to be kept on a leash and monitored while outdoors as if she happened to get free she would run<br/>Special Request: Quiet low key home with patient, consistent, and committed owners<br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: To apply to adopt, the application and adoption process can be found on our website https://www.kyhopefulpaws.com/adopt.<br/><br/>Please read dog's bio carefully before applying.
