A volunteer writes: Meet our resident sausage, Chica!! This little girl isn’t going to let anyone pass her by without a meet and greet, and a walk! An incredibly spry ‘senior’, Chica has found the fountain of youth. Ready for a walk whenever you are, she motors along with lovely leash manners, tail wagging, checking up often as we go, and easily responsive on leash. In the park, we chill, Chica posing for some pictures, panting with the awful humidity and taking a break to lap up some water. Chica is with us as her person can no longer take care of her, and comes with a great resume of a fun, friendly pup with loads of personality. Energetic, playful, and smart, she enjoys playing with stuffed toys, likes to run off leash, jumps up to say ‘hi’ to people, is ‘very housetrained’, gets along well with small dogs but not big dogs, doesn’t guard her things, and will bark if she’s scared. Chica did a little dance for me if I wasn’t fast enough with a treat, and takes them like a little lady. She’s cuteness personified as she hops up on the bench to join me for some cuddles, her tail wagging a mile a minute and grinning from ear to ear. If we were in school, Chica would be voted ‘Miss Personality” as she’s fun, friendly, sweetly affectionate and an all around gem. She’s not showing her age one bit, and I can’t imagine a more fun pup with whom to spend my forever. Come meet her and see for yourself.
