About
Hello my name is Jacinta (Tina for short) and I’m looking for my perfect home! I’m a 5 year old, 11 pound little girl, with lots of love and attention to give. My favorite thing in the world is to cuddle up next to my humans on a comfy couch or chair, especially under the blanket. I love to be scratched on my face and head. I also enjoy a short play session of tossing a toy and getting some zoomies out. I’m pretty medium-low energy and don’t really require daily walking. Because I’m a little timid I sometimes like a walk but sometimes I get scared and don’t really want to go far from home. I think over time I could get more used to everything outside and might enjoy more of a walk. But only if it’s nice and warm out! I really don’t like the cold, rain, or snow. I may have a little harder time going potty outside when the weather is not my favorite. I could benefit from having a little covered area outside to potty under. I’m currently doing a great job of going potty outside on a consistent schedule, but schedule or location changes can cause some accidents. Something I’m great at, no matter the weather, is my kennel! I love having my own kennel area to go in and out of when I want. I do great sleeping quietly in my kennel when I’m home alone, even for extended periods like a work day. I’m also pretty quiet for a chihuahua, only barking when I see something out the window or hear other barking ! As far as other pets go I seem to be fine around cats, but I would probably do best with cats that are comfortable around dogs. I also do well around dogs my size but I prefer that they not get right up in my face. I haven’t met any kids yet but most likely I’d be a little scared around younger kids and would prefer older calmer kids . Also, I do pretty well in the car. Finally, I’ll admit I don’t have much obedience training. I could use maybe a class or some at home training if you’d like me to learn how to sit, stay, leash manners, etc. But so far this hasn’t really been an issue for my foster humans since I’m sweet as pie! If I sound like the perfect match please apply to adopt me!
