Pizzaz $425 Chihuahua Mix Milwaukee, WI

Meet Pizzazz, a quiet and gentle soul with a heart full of hope. Her fosters call her Pizzeria, Calzone, Callie, or sometimes Wishbone, because of her sweet markings and the new story she's writing for herself. Pizzazz came from a heartbreaking hoarding situation in Texas, where nearly 100 dogs were crammed into a single trailer. When a fire broke out, many dogs perished. Somehow, against all odds, Pizzazz was one of the lucky ones.

She's now safe in Wisconsin and slowly learning what it means to feel secure. Every day, she gets a little braver, a little more curious, and a little more open to the kindness around her. She's not loud (hasn't barked for her foster parents yet!) or attention-seeking, but if you sit quietly next to her, she'll come close and look up at you with the softest eyes. She wants to connect. She just needs time.

Pizzazz is crate trained and prefers to stay in it, where she feels safe. She does well with other calm dogs and cats. She will try and hide around more excitable dogs. She walks well on a leash, although she gets tired quickly and is still building up her strength. She also seems to be mostly potty trained and has only had one small accident since arriving.

If you're someone who appreciates quiet companionship and the strength it takes to start over, Pizzazz just might be the dog you've been waiting for. We'd love to introduce you.
