Rowena may only weigh 12 pounds, but she carries herself like someone with a much larger royal title.<br/><br/>This 3-year-old Chihuahua is a petite little princess complete with oversized ears, wide curious eyes, and an expression that suggests she's constantly gathering important intelligence. Whether she's observing a new situation or deciding if you're worthy of her friendship, Rowena likes to stay informed.<br/><br/>She's cautious but never misses an opportunity to investigate. Think less "nervous" and more "quality control specialist." Rowena simply believes in taking a thoughtful approach to life. She likes to gather the facts, review the evidence, and then determine whether something deserves her enthusiasm. Spoiler alert: once she decides you're one of the good ones, you're in.<br/><br/>Rowena's giant ears deserve special recognition. We're fairly certain they can detect the opening of a treat bag from several zip codes away. Combined with her expressive eyes, they give her the look of a tiny woodland creature who accidentally wandered into a dog rescue and decided to stay.<br/><br/>As a perfect pocket-sized companion, Rowena is ideal for anyone who appreciates a dog that can fit just about anywhere while still having enough personality to fill an entire house. She's small enough to scoop up when needed and charming enough to become the center of your world without even trying.<br/><br/>There's something wonderfully endearing about watching Rowena's curiosity win out. You can practically see her weighing her options before deciding that yes, maybe this new adventure, new person, or new experience is worth exploring after all.<br/><br/>Rowena is already spayed, microchipped, up to date on vaccines, and tested negative for heartworm, so she's ready for her happily-ever-after.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a tiny companion with princess energy, cartoon-character ears, and a sweetheart hidden behind an adorably thoughtful exterior, Rowena is ready to rule your lap and quite possibly your life.<br/><br/>Want to meet her?
