Introducing Grandma, the 12-year-old Chihuahua Diva


This sassy senior canine is quite the character! Grandma, the resident 'pawlice' of the household, loves to growl in her sleep, keeping everyone on high alert. Getting her eye meds administered requires a small army, as it takes two brave souls to wrangle this feisty furbaby because she acts like a wolverine on steroids.


When it comes to walking, Grandma's approach can best be described as a stately hobble, as if she's performing a regal procession. Heaven forbid she's ever caught without her fashionable coat - the indignity would be too much to bear!


Breakfast in bed is Grandma's favorite meal, and woe to the soul who dares to disturb her slumber. She's a lover of pets and cuddles, but don't be fooled - her mood can turn on a dime, and the growls and snaps come without warning.


Grandma's preferred sleeping spot is under your pillow, where she can keep a watchful eye on her domain. Just be sure not to move a muscle, lest you risk squishing the delicate diva. When nature calls, Grandma will deign to be carried outside, but if you miss her subtle 'I gotta go' cues, she'll happily relieve herself right on the floor.


Despite her diva tendencies, Grandma is a friendly gal, but heaven help any canine that dares to cross her. She'll put them in their place faster than you can say 'sit, stay!'


Crate trained and full of personality, Grandma is a true force to be reckoned with - a tiny terror wrapped in a fluffy package.











Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Each dog receives basic grooming when coming into rescue, but for some dogs they have not received grooming attention until recently and grooming may be required shortly after adoption. This will be at the adopter’s expense, so we encourage you to research the breed and be prepared for grooming expenses. Underdog cannot guarantee hypoallergenic or non-shedding qualities of any dogs in our rescue. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.
