BREED: Chihuahua
GENDER: Male
AGE: 10 months old as of Nov. 1
HISTORY: Elvira was found in a homeless camp running around and hiding, scared, hungry, with her sister Skippy. Both super cute but very scared and never handled. We are rehabilitating them and doing well now. Elvira was more scared than her brother and developed a fur disorder losing her fur due to anxiety. It’s growing back now that not in the shelter or homeless on streets of San Jose.
PERSONALITY: Elvira is very loving and dainty. She trots so cute along with you and looks to you for direction and security. She wants attention but shy. Quiet, so sweet and endearing, loves to play and run with little dogs and her brother Skippy. Shy and adorable.
SOCIALIZATION SKILLS/NEEDS: Needs one on one with people she doesn’t know and to go out into society. Good around dogs and cats. No doubt would love children. Needs some work on recall but happy to come to be with you.
BEST MATCH: Quiet warm home. Someone to help her further out of her fear to learn to trust.
FAVORITE THINGS: Going for walks. To feel safe and have comfy blankets, security, tasty food not kibble! Enjoys playing with stuffies now. Treats and calm attention.
