WHAT A RELIEF! SHE'S NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN CHEWING! DOB 1/1/22, weight 19 pounds Hey there, everyone! I’m Chela, a spunky, cheerful, and energetic blonde-and-white Chihuahua/ Rat Terrier mix gal who’s always happy to see my hoomans. Foster Mom says that I’m a “tangy” girl, so she christened me Chela, short for Chelada, which is a Mexican drink made by mixing lime juice, salt, and beer. I don't know about my being "tangy," but I do know that I'm pretty delectable and that my lip-smacking name is well-chosen. Foster Mom rescued me as a stray who’d been dumped in her neighborhood. Fending for myself on the mean streets of Houston forced me to learn to hold my own when I encountered big dogs. The best defense is a good offense, right? This was put to the test when Foster Mom brought me home and introduced me to her resident 70-pound female dog. My foster family soon learned that I’m all bluster, and now the resident pooch and I are very simpatico. True confessions: it took me awhile – not too long – to bond with my foster family. Now that I know and trust them, they’re “in.” In fact, they've become the sun and the moon to me, so I seek them out for affection. I recently heard Foster Mom bragging about how delightful it is that I don’t destroy things by chewing them like so many dogs in her experience. She says that it’s a hard-to-come-by trait that I’m not even being interested in chewing. I say that it’s one of the advantages of a dog like me who’s past the stage of puppy mayhem! Now I’m ready to find my forever home! Could that be with you? If you’re looking for a friendly, outgoing, and cuddly small/ medium-sized pooch, I’m the gal for you! Arrange to meet me today, and I promise that I’ll leave tiny paw prints all over your heart.
