Like a little canine ballerina, Natalia is an elegant, long-legged and slender 4-month-old Chihuahua mix puppy looking for a loving home after a rough start in life. She weighs 3.5 pounds now, and might weigh 7-8 pounds as an adult. Natalia is one of six dogs AFRP rescued from a hoarding situation of 70 neglected dogs and puppies that ended up at the Bakersfield Shelter. Raised in foster care, Natalia is a wiggly, playful and athletic little dog that is a bit wary of strangers, but she's very affectionate once she gets to know and trust you. She gets along fine with other small dogs and with dog-savvy cats. She is working on her house training and knows how to use a potty pad. Natalia will be a good match for an adult household (no small kids) with the time to continue her training and social skills.To learn more or arrange a meeting, please fill out an online adoption application.
