Carmella was brought into Pet Rescue by Judy because her owner had to go out of the country to care for a sick family member, and Carmella was unable to go with her. She was shy and a little scared when she first arrived, but she did settle into her doggie bed and relax. Carmella is fine with cats and dogs and also enjoys car rides.

  Her owner explained to us that she has never been around children and Carmella may nip at you if you move quickly around her, so she did not recommend a home with kids. As she is timid, Carmella would be best in a quiet, adult home and a (fenced) yard to romp around in. She would pair best with another dog her own size to buddy with.

She was very sweet and very loving with her owner, but she is  timid around men. 

Chihuahuas are lively, loyal, intelligent, spunky, playful and friendly dogs.   They burrow under blankets, dance on their hind legs, wave their paws in the air, and lick everything in sight! Most Chihuahuas need little obedience training. Chihuahuas need to learn where to go to the bathroom, and where not to go – and this can be  the biggest training challenge in this breed.
