Meet Aja! Aja is a 4 year old female chi weenie who came to us from a very tough situation with no social skills. She was very scared and shy. It has been an absolute pleasure to watch her blossom into the loving, happy, and playful dog she is today! She loves to play with my dog, go outside to go potty, be a part of our daily routine, and cuddle with us at night. I know she will be very shy and scared when she meets her new family so she will require some patience. Kids may be too much for her as they may struggle to give her the time and space she needs to feel comfortable.  An Apartment may not be the ideal space for her as she will do some barking in the beginning of her transition while she learns to trust her new owner. Once she learns that she has found another loving and patient home she will bring that home so much love and joy!
