Hi! My name is Turkey ๐ฆ
I am a cute chihuahua, yes. Before you start filling out your application, please know this:
๐ฆMy Story
I came from a breeder situation where I was no longer wanted.
I was labeled a โfailed breederโ and almost didnโt get a chance at life.
I was saved, and now Iโm learning what love and safety feel like.
๐ฆMy Personality
Iโm super sweet and gentle.
Iโm my fosterโs little shadow and follow her everywhere.
Iโm very quiet โ Iโve only barked once (and that was at a dog on TV!)
I sometimes make a cute, low-pitched howl, though.
And I love playing with cat toys!
๐ฆOther Animals
I do well with other dogs.
I was doing well with cats, but lately Iโve been a little unsure when they get too close to my personal space.
I do best with slow introductions and respectful boundaries.
๐ฆMy Health (Important ๐)
I have degenerative mitral valve disease, a common heart condition in small dogs.
This means one of the valves in my heart doesnโt close as tightly as it should.
My condition is stable and well-managed with daily medication.
I take my meds very easily โ no struggles at all.
My medication helps my heart work easier and keeps me feeling good
I can still enjoy love, routines, and companionship just like any other pup.
๐ฆTraining & Routine
Iโm not fully potty trained yet and will need patience and consistency
I do okay in a crate, but I may still have accidents
Iโm calm and low-energy, and happiest when close to my person
๐ฆFood Preferences
Iโm a picky eater
I prefer soft/moist foods like individual wet food packs and Beneful IncrediBites wet.
๐ฆWhat Iโm Looking For
A calm, loving home and
someone who understands that I come with a medical condition but an enormous heart
A family ready to give me stability, patience, and cuddles
I may have a heart condition, but my heart is full of love. ๐พ๐
If youโre looking for a loyal little shadow, I might be your perfect match.
