Lourdes is a Chihuahua born around 11/8/24 with a big personality packed into a sturdy little body. She’s the perfect mix of happy, curious, playful, and cuddly, with just a touch of puppy mischief to keep life fun.
This sweet girl is high-energy and full of joy, she absolutely loves to play! She became instant best friends with another foster dog and spends her days wrestling, cuddling, and snoozing like a sibling pair. While she does well with other dogs, Lourdes doesn’t require a canine companion as long as her humans are ready to play and engage with her. Lourdes is alert but not yappy. She may bark at unfamiliar people or outside noises, but barking is the only “guard dog” behavior she shows. She’s friendly, confident, and comfortable being handled, and she warmed up to her foster home right away. When playtime winds down, Lourdes turns into a total cuddlebug. She loves to snuggle, sleeps in bed with her foster, and has a gentle, sweet side that balances her energetic moments. Despite her small size, she’s robust and sturdy, not a fragile, delicate toy breed. She does great in the car, on a leash, and in a fenced yard. While she won’t bolt, she is curious and may wander if not supervised, so leash time is important. She hasn’t met children yet, but based on her personality and love of energy, she would likely do very well with them. Lourdes is still very much a puppy, having been found as a stray, so she’s continuing to work on potty training and appropriate chewing. She uses puppy pads reliably if she can’t make it outside in time and is making steady progress. She isn’t destructive, her occasional chewing is limited to things like shoes or paper and is easily managed with supervision and puppy-proofing. She can be crated when her people are away and will benefit from some crate training when her humans are home. Best of all, she is smart, treat-motivated, and very trainable. With consistency and love, she’ll continue to blossom into an amazing companion. Having Lourdes around is like having a built-in mood booster, she brings energy, laughter, affection, and endless cuddles wherever she goes. If your home could use a little extra pep, warmth, and puppy love, Lourdes may be the perfect match for you.
