Story
Meet Rumi BC, a petite 6-year-old beige and white Chihuahua who's as sweet as they come! 🐕 I'm spayed, crate trained, and already comfortable around other dogs — plus I get along great with older children. I'm a gentle, cuddly girl who warms right up once I know you, though I'm a bit shy at first with new friends. If you're looking for a loving companion who's ready for her forever home, I'd love to meet you! 💕 I was found on the streets, so so skinny! I have LOVED living in my foster home, and do get nervous when they leave me. I want a family who can take me with you! I am waiting!! Local adoption fee is $300 (in TX)
