HISTORY: ChiChi was brought in after approaching one of our rescues teams, malnourished, covered in lacerations across her head and body, limping and bleeding from the nose. Her sweet face almost begging them to take her somewhere safe. She cried out when touched through pain and fear but allowed herself to be lifted in to the car. After examination at the vet she was found to have a broken rib, impact damage to one eye and a terribly infected abscess in her neck. ChiChi lived a life of fear, pain and hunger.
TEMPERAMENT: Cautious. Calm, Sweet, Clever.
PERSONALITY: Now her body and spirit are healing ChiChi is really showing her beautiful self to her current fosters. She is very mellow, becoming very affectionate and eager to learn. She is house broken, crate trained and learning basic commands.
HOW IS DOG WITH SMALL DOGS: ChiChi is excellent with all dogs and truly enjoys their company. The puppies she is pictured with aren’t hers, she just cuddles them and looks after them so we call her Aunty!
HOW IS DOG WITH CATS: Untested
HOW IS DOG WITH CHILDREN: Untested but zero concerns.
PETS NEEDS/BEHAVIOURAL INFO: ChiChi is starting at step one with training and doing well having never had a home before. She will learn quickly and enthusiastically in the right environment. She will need to socialize with other dogs often, she is just now learning to play with her foster sister and loving every minute.
BEST MATCH: ChiChi will thrive in a loving, gentle household that will dedicate time to positive training and frequent activity. Once fully healed from her injuries she will love running at dog parks, going for hikes, tagging along on camping trips and adventures in the mountains.
FAVORITE THINGS: A soft warm bed, a full belly and a whole lot of love!
