Dutchess is a 6 yr old, 12 lb chihuahua mix who was owner surrendered.  She was well loved but is a very shy, anxious and submissive little dog.  She’s very very sweet, gets along well w/other dogs and I’ll bet cats too.  She was crated a lot and is learning how to be a dog.  She is so loving and just wants to be somebody’s lap dog.  She’s been spayed,  working on potty training as well as walking on a leash.  She’s responding to direction and will make a great fur baby, just need a patient parent.
