Southern

Age: 3 years<br/>Weight: 15lbs<br/><br/>Meet Southern (AKA Belle/Bella) is an absolute gem. She's a 3-year-old, 15 lb Chihuahua mix with a stocky build. Originally rescued from Texas, she had a litter of pups fairly recently. <br/><br/>She's a quiet dog, both playful and cuddly. She seems to feel that dog toys are beneath her and is more interested in playing, dancing, and rolling around with her human caregiver. She's an expert cuddler and prefers to be close by, following you from room to room just to see what you're up to. She's curious about city sounds, but doesn't like the motorized delivery scooters, especially when it gets dark, and the car lights zipping by make her a bit nervous. Still, she's adjusting and every walk is an adventure. She does best on quieter streets off of the avenues and will happily let you carry her in your arms/bag when it gets dicey; she enjoys being outside and at home equally and is content with both short and long walks. She is strong for such a little thing so when she wants to speed walk or run, you might feel some pull.<br/><br/>After never seeing steps before, she's bravely gotten over her fear of going down the five steps in front of our building. She'll probably do okay with staircases. She is house-trained and prefers to do her business in dry leaves (which is a challenge with the snow). She's learning "sit" and "stay" quite well. <br/><br/>She seems mostly indifferent to dogs so far, but did stop short to bark at a dog three times her size. She would do well with a family. She'd give kids a lot of joy and they would do the same for her. No doubt she was a good mom to her pups.<br/><br/>Southern (Belle/Bella) is full of love, affection, wags, and wiggles. If you're looking for a perfectly sized bundle of sweetness and joy, this is your girl.<br/><br/>INTERESTED IN ADOPTING?<br/>To adopt Southern, apply on our website www.truenorthrescue.org/adopt and email adopt.truenorthrescue@gmail.com to follow up on your application.<br/><br/>PLEASE DO NOT EMAIL TO ASK IF HE/SHE IS AVAILABLE.
