Treasure, chihuahua mix
Treasure is a female chihuahua mix being cared for at the Follow Your Heart Animal Rescue.
Treasure's current caretakers say:
Treasure is not potty or leash trained, but doing really well with learning both. She sleeps well in her pen, but would prefer to sleep in bed with you. Treasure is good with dogs her size or smaller but can be food protective with other dogs. She needs a calm and quiet home and would prefer one with calm and understanding kids or no kids.
