Rachel is a young Chihuahua with a personality that would fit right in at Central Perk. Named after Rachel Green from “Friends,” she’s a bit of a diva in her own adorable way—full of charm and always ready for snuggles. Rachel can be shy with new people, much like Rachel Green was when she first arrived at Monica’s apartment, but she warms up with a little patience.

True to her namesake, Rachel enjoys the finer things in life—like a cozy lap and a warm spot to cuddle.
This little lady would be happiest in a calm, affectionate home with someone who doesn’t mind sharing the couch, or their lap, because she’s all about bonding time. With her mix of sweetness, quirkiness, and a touch of that Rachel Green spark, she’s sure to be the perfect cuddle buddy and forever friend.

Meet Monica, the spirited Chihuahua with all the lovable quirks you'd expect from a pup named after Friends' Monica Gellar! True to her namesake, Monica has a determined, curious nature and is highly food and treat-motivated—never missing a chance to sniff out the "good stuff" in the yard.

Monica has a keen sense of "territorial responsibility." She proudly patrols the yard, sniffing the perimeter and keeping a watchful eye on the neighbors. Monica is also a toy enthusiast, favoring any she can chew, shred, or “redecorate” in her own style!

With Monica in your life, you'll have a playful, loyal little companion who’s as curious and devoted as her namesake.
