Nora, 4 pounds, chihuahua, 7 years
Original Petfinder Listing




Nora is a loving short haired Chihuahua that was
rescued from abandonment. She has recovered
beautifully in foster care and is doing great. She
is a thin 4 plus pounds and continues to gain weight
with a very strong appetite. She enjoys nothing more
than to sleep on someone's lap and loves American Idol but is convinced it is all rigged. Her temperament is wonderful and very seldom makes noise. She greets her foster at the door and wags her tail constantly.


With her background (abandoned and possibly mistreated for a short period of time) and thin frame we would recommend a family with no kids and few stairs. She is 7 years old (49 in dog years) but she still gets carded. Which always makes her feel good. She is still sweet regardless of her poor treatment in the past, but has lost some teeth due to it - she needs soft food and loves cheese(but don't we all!) House training is a touchy subject, we believe that in a new home with some work she will learn, but in her foster home when they got her she was close to death, and they weren't about to try and correct
her in her condition, she deserved a little "free"
time. Love, soft food, and a little patience with tiny
pee spots and she will be an awesome pet to watch the next season of Idol with.
