Teresa

Teresa / F / 8Y / 4.5lbs / Chihuahua / Fostered in Owen Sound 

Teresa is a very sweet, gentle, cuddly and tiny girl. She is so loving and wants to snuggle on the couch with her person all day long. The minute you sit down, Teresa wants up on your lap! She loves to lay across her person's neck, cuddled in as close as she can get. She is mostly quiet, unless the other dogs in the home start barking. She gets very excited when it's bedtime and looks forward to getting cuddled under the blankets for the night in bed with her foster. Her foster mom says that she has been one of the easiest and most enjoyable dogs to have around. Whoever adopts her is going to be extremely lucky!

Teresa is working on her house training and does have the occasional accident inside, if not taken out quick enough. She is currently being taken out for a potty break every 3 hours. She is doing well with her crate training and is crated when left alone. She hasn't had much experience walking on a leash and prefers to lounge in the yard in the sun.  She is low energy and enjoys sleeping the day away in a cozy bed. She has shown no guarding behaviours. She will cry for a few minutes when her person leaves, but she settles quickly. 

Teresa can be shy when meeting new people and will bark at them for a few minutes. Once she knows that she can trust you though, she will welcome all of the cuddles. She is good with other dogs and cats. She would be fine with kids 12+. Her ideal home is with someone who has lots of time to spend with her.  She would love a house with a yard to practice her leash walking skills, where it's quiet and calm.
